“Some people who make music are instantly very savvy about how they can get their music to communicate in a larger way. For me, the music was always first, and I put a lot of time and effort and thought into making the recordings. But everything else around it, all the things that were necessary to have a career in pop music, I was completely ill equipped to handle.” PeopleWayFirstsEffortCareersIllCommunicatePopsHandlePop MusicSavvy Author:Kurt Ralske
“Expression is never considered a given, and it is in fact maybe not what's most interesting about making art. Making art, since 1960 or something, is many things: it's a way of doing philosophy, it's a way of opening a dialogue, it's a way of putting a fact or a question out into the world, or a way of drawing people into new relationships, or a way of interrogating history. It's all these other sorts of strategies or techniques or processes that are really interesting and really valuable.” PeopleWorldWayArtPhilosophyFactsGivenProcessInterestingExpressionStrategyValuableTechniqueDrawingDialogueOpening1960sMost InterestingReally InterestingNew RelationshipArt Making Author:Kurt Ralske
