“I'm obsessed with the countryside: woods, forests, fields, lakes, mountains. I'm really into folk music and folklore. But more so I'm into electronic music. I'm into bands that have both aspects, like Boards of Canada is a perfect example. You could listen to that type of music running through a woods. It's kind of what I wanted to achieve.” KindRunningWantedRomancePerfectAchieveExampleFieldsTypeBandMountainAspectFolksWoodsForestsObsessedBoardsCanadaLakesCountrysideFolkloreFolk MusicElectronic MusicWoods And Forests Author:Ellie Goulding
“When I get 13 or 14 years old, I get crazy with rock music, like, like, deeply crazy.

“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one's heroic ancestors. It's astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free.” PeopleBelieveCountrySeemsWantedAmericaExampleIdentityHeroBandSeriesMythHeroicAncestor Author:James A.

“Papa Roach is actually a band that's great at playing arenas. Not every band is suited for that environment. But besides the huge energy you guys bring, the songs are very grand and anthemic. "Kick in the Teeth" being an example as a song that's made for huge crowd sing-alongs, not tiny little club shows.” LittlesMadeShowsGuySongEnergyEnvironmentExampleHugeBandCrowdsClubsTinyTeethKicksArenaPapaRoachesPapa Roach Author:Tony Palermo
“As you get older - for example, in our band we have members of our orchestra, like Carlos Enriquez and Ali Jackson and Walter Blanning. I taught them when they were in high school, and now they teach me.I'll regularly call Ali and say, "Man, can you break this rhythm down for me?" Or Carlos was actually our music director in Cuba, and he's been instrumental in a lot of my education, and I started to develop a saying with them, because they tease me all the time - you get older, you have that familiar relationship - I say, "You have to follow your young leadership, too."” MenSchoolYoungTeachBreakExampleTaughtBandDirectorsMembersHigh SchoolFamiliarRhythmOrchestraCubaTeaseTease Me Author:Wynton Marsalis
“Duke Ellington's career traces the entire history of jazz. The repertoire associated with him contains the most important elements in the music and provides concrete examples of some of the best ways to present the music in the widest variety of settings-radio, TV, recordings, movies, concert halls, festivals, solo, small ensemble, big band, symphony orchestra, opera, Broadway shows....

“I was brought up on choirs and brass bands. They formed the music of my childhood. When I heard the Treorchy Male Choir at the Royal Variety Performance it brought back such happy memories.

“I think that was going on with bands like The Strokes was that the idea of the band, a real band, was making a comeback.

“There was a time when my taste in music was mainstream, for example - people like Jimi Hendrix - who I really based a lot of my inspiration on, was the most popular entertainer of his day. He was really number one. And bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles are really number one bands. But those days are very much done. I can't say that if I listen to the number one artist now that I get excited.” PeopleIfsI CanDoneInspirationArtistNumbersExampleTasteBandExcitedMainstreamEntertainersHendrixZeppelinsTaste In Music Author:Gordon Raphael
