Woody: “But I think that Steina’s major work is the Buffalo period … She creates a system of something observing itself, reporting on itself interactively. It’s very sculptural, actually installation. The rest of her matrix work is based on a horizontal pan. In the matrixes she used the horizontal because that is where they are effective. For her, the instruments are the performers. She always used more instruments than I ever did. She creates polyphonic structures, multichannel compositions.”
