"We may imagine a new personality
combing the beach of sonic possibilities, not someone who selects,
rejects, classifies and measures the acceptable, but a chemist who
can take any pebble and by numerical sorcery, separate its
constituents, merge the constituents from two quite different pebbles
and, in fact, transform black pebbles into gold pebbles, and vice
versa."
