Quote by Anton Hur

“Was not every piece of music “4’33,” never a rendition sounding alike, with each element of chance affecting the dynamics, the receptions, the discovery of the music in the room? Was not the machinery of change as much part of the music as the musician?”

“When you went to your favorite concert and heard your favorite musician singing the body electric, that was it; when you met your love and gazed at each other with shining eyes, that was it; when you kissed your five-year-old good night and she turned to you solemnly and said, "Thank you for loving me so much," that was it: all of them facets of the same jewel.”

“Somewhere, the radio was playing—WCRB again, soft classical. I didn’t register it at first. I was too busy putting my keys down, toeing off my shoes, breathing into the hush. But then the melody changed. Piano. Slow. Familiar. It was Adagio cantabile. Not Joel’s version, with its doo-wop backbone and lovesick harmonies. Beethoven’s. The real thing.”

“Gladiators of the Sun by Sami Abouzid Life before Gladiators of the Sun—my first electronic symphony— was a different world entirely. A world of searching, shaping, and silent dreaming. But the moment I created that first note, everything changed. A new universe opened, one that only I could hear, feel, and bring to life. Gladiators of the Sun wasn’t just music— it was a revolution inside my soul. It gave me my voice. It carved my identity into sound, and lit the path for what would become 300 symphonies, each one echoing the fire that started it all. That first symphony still lives in me— forever in my heart. It was the beginning of the Sami Abouzid style, a sonic language no one else could speak, born from pure vision, emotion, and truth. From that moment on, I never looked back. I created endlessly, fearlessly, passionately— building worlds where others only heard sound. Enjoy my music. Because when you listen, you’re not just hearing notes— you’re hearing the story of a soul that dared to dream. — Sami Abouzid”

“Be Your Own Teacher by Sami Abouzid No one ever teaches you anything truly valuable in this life. No one shows you the path to brilliance. Most people will doubt you, mock you, attack your light just to feel brighter themselves. On the road to your dreams, you’ll walk alone more than you’ll walk beside anyone. But that’s the beauty of it. Most of the wisest minds in history didn’t learn through lessons— they discovered truth in the chaos, through mistakes, accidents, and raw hunger. I created 672 soundtracks and 300 electronic symphonies—alone. No one taught me how to write, compose, mix, or master. I was my own teacher. I respected the process, trusted myself, and gave myself the time to become. And now? I do what I want, when I want— with power, purpose, and freedom. Never wait for someone to hand you greatness. It’s not given. It’s earned, built in silence, forged in fire, and born from the belief that you don’t need permission. Be your own guide. Be your own light. Be your own legend. — Sami Abouzid”
