Quote by Devika Todi

“Past, present, is discussed in a way that feels new. The future is uncertain, as it has always been. Roles have shifted. Creases of worry line pass. So what remains? Love, I guess.”

“The distinction between "classical" and "folk" music only really emerged in the late eighteenth and into the nineteenth centuries. The words only make sense (to the extent they do) when they're set in opposition to each other. The musicologist Matthew Gelbart has written a terrific book on the subject called The Invention of Folk Music and Art Music, in which he details how it used to be that musicians just played music: what mattered was the place and purpose, not so much who wrote the tune or played it or how they spoke. The same musicians would cover courts, pop songs and worship. These musicians travelled and shape-shifted. If dancing was required, they would play dance standards. If the mood was contemplative, they would unravel something slow and soulful.”

“Eski Yunan estetiği şiirde musiki arar: ''Musa'lar yani herbiri bir güzel sanatın tanrıçası olan altın sesli Yunan ilaheleri; şairler, lisanı sözden çok ses haline koyabilsinler ve bunu anne tabiattan yükselen sesler halinde duyabilsinler diye; kendi güzel seslerini Yunanistan'ın akar sularına bırakmışlardı'' efsanesine inanır. O gün bugün, dünyanın neresinde ''büyük şair'' yetişmişse mutlaka şiire musiki katmıştır. Bu anlayışa göre ''şiir, kelimelerle yapılan musikidir.”
