'Inspiration doesn’t exist; rather call this experience a state of
heightened readiness.' (Johan De Wilde, Particles p.70) During the radio
interview in Fresco at Klara (May 22nd, 2006) the item ruim is expanded wall to
wall (see Klara, Fresco, 22 May 2006, 17u20). Luciano Berio brings up a similar
