“The game of music thus resembles the game of power: monopolize the right to violence; provoke anxiety and then provide a feeling of security; provoke disorder and then propose order; create a problem in order to solve it.” PhilosophyMusicPolitical Science Book:Noise: The Political Economy of Music Source: Noise: The Political Economy of Music
“It thus became almost impossible to have one's music heard without first being profitable, in other words, without writing commercial works known to the bourgeoisie. To be successful, a musician first had to attract an audience as an interpreter: representation takes precedence over composition and conditions it. The only authorized composers were successful interpreters of the works of others.” MusicPolitical Science Book:Noise: The Political Economy of Music Source: Noise: The Political Economy of Music
