“The oceans are in trouble. There are some serious problems out there that I believe are not clear to many people. My hope is to continually find new ways of creating images and stories that both celebrate the sea yet also highlight environmental problems.

“Like many musicians, I can hear the weight in the sound. Sound is matter. We speak of the colour of an instrument, of transparency... We can demand more sombre or lighter colours, deeper playing and singing, heavier or lighter sound. And manipulating those means is like creating a painting.” MeanI CanMatterSpeakSoundPaintingDemandCreatingMusicianSingingWeightInstrumentsDeeperColourTransparencyLighters Author:Laurence Equilbey

“Mea culpa, mea culpa. MIT and Wharton and University of Chicago created the financial engineering instruments, which, like Samson and Delilah, blinded every CEO.

“I could create music that sounded as strange as any electronic music, because you see, my opinion about electronic music is that the real composer is the guy who invented the instrument.

“The system of technological production that we have today has been justified in terms of creating more goods to feed more people and to meet more needs. But it actually destroys more of the resources that we need in order to meet those multiple needs. If we shift to an ecological perception, a diversity perception, we realize that some of the instruments of which we are very proud are actually extremely primitive for dealing with nature. To me that is the great lesson of ecological awareness at the turn of the millennium.” PeopleIfsNeedsHas BeensTodayOrderTurnsTermRealizingAwarenessProudLessonsDiversityPerceptionCreatingResourcesInstrumentsProductionsGoodsPrimitiveMultipleTechnologicalJustifiedEcologicalMillennium Author:Vandana Shiva
“The best way to do that is to pick up a new instrument or an instrument that you don't typically write on and see where it takes you.

“The brain is more than an assemblage of autonomous modules, each crucial for a specific mental function. Every one of these functionally specialized areas must interact with dozens or hundreds of others, their total integration creating something like a vastly complicated orchestra with thousands of instruments, an orchestra that conducts itself, with an ever-changing score and repertoire.” BrainCreatingAreasFunctionInstrumentsComplicatedScoreCrucialDozenIntegrationOrchestraAutonomousCreating SomethingAssemblage Author:Oliver Sacks
“In attempting to construct such (artificially intelligent) machines we should not be irreverently usurping His (God's) power of creating souls, any more than we are in the procreation of children,” Turing had advised. “Rather we are, in either case, instruments of His will providing mansions for the souls that He creates.” ShouldChildrenSoulCasesCreatingMachinesIntelligentInstrumentsProvidingConstructsAttemptingMansionsProcreationIntelligent Machines Author:Alan Turing
“A gesture cannot be regarded as the expression of an individual, as his creation (because no individual is capable of creating a fully original gesture, belonging to nobody else), nor can it even be regarded as that person's instrument; on the contrary, it is gestures that use us as their instruments, as their bearers and incarnations” PersonsUseIndividualCreationExpressionCreatingCapableOriginalsInstrumentsIndividualityContraryBelongingGesturesIncarnation Author:Milan Kundera
