Notes could be linked in an infinite array of combinations, while a multitude of words, rhythms, and textural effects could contribute to the innate complexity of every choice in the music-making process. [...] Putting his philosophy into practice, Arthur sought to integrate the principles of indeterminacy, reinvention, and freedom of mouvement in a number of his compositions. (p. 189-190)
