This Click Nilson chap sounds like a right know it all knob head.
Whilst I'm pleased for him, it sounds like he has found enlightenment
and is probably now floating around with the awakened one the conceit
displayed by assuming the words he's rewriting aren't mystical clap
trap makes me dislike him.

Only just discovered by the scholarship of the Anglo-Dutch scholar Nicholas van 't Klooster, Click Nilson's diaries were recovered from a skip just outside Goteborg. I have the honour to be musical executor of his works, and hope to release a collected edition of the text pieces later this year.

Where is the radical thought, which I was so sure was our generation's destiny? Why does the position right now seem so fixed, so immutable? My very complaint is probably just the same as the next composer over; we are writing the same words just like we write the same music. I need some radical action to break the deadlock; I need to get outside of the system of fixed pieces, and outside the systems of systems music, and somehow break away!

When I say change, well, change is the life blood of the new system; the system that breaks systems; the system of self-renewal. This is no mystical trapclap, but the rewriting of everything that came before; literally, the rewriting. I can take my diary entry of yesterday, and see where to go now; I can take the very words and re-distribute them, and I shall be happy.
