“All this business of a labour to accomplish, before I can end, of words to say, a truth to recover, in order to say it, before I can end, of an imposed task, once known, long neglected, finally forgotten, to perform, before I can be done with speaking, done with listening, I invented it all, in the hope it would console me, help me to go on, allow me to think of myself as somewhere on a road, moving, between a beginning and an end, gaining ground, losing ground, getting lost, but somehow in the long run making headway.” ThinkingLongI CanEndsDoneHelpingRunningMovingOrderLostKnownListeningGoes OnLosingTasksForgottenAccomplishHelp MeLabourLong RunsNeglectedConsoleGetting Lost Book:The Unnamable Source: The Unnamable
“A dissection of music perception and creation that starts slowly and inexorably builds to a grand finish. I loved reading that listening to music coordinates more disparate parts of the brain than almost anything else--and playing music uses even more!

“When I received the invitation to "check out" Fairport I knew absolutely nothing about them, all I knew was that they were beginning to establish themselves as an underground favorite, by playing regularly at the UFO club in Covent Garden. But the crowd I was running with at the time were listening to a completely different genre of music. So I had nothing to go on, there was nothing on vinyl, Fairport's recording days were still ahead of them.” StillsDifferentRunningListeningGoes OnGardenCrowdsClubsChecksGenreInvitationsUfoAbsolutely NothingVinylDifferent GenresGenres Of MusicCovent GardenDifferent Genres Of Music Author:Iain Matthews
“It's really nice meeting people after a concert. Still, it's very weird to be at the center of a group of 30 people all listening to what you're saying. When that group turns into 300 people, it goes on from weird. Some people revel in it, and I don't.” PeopleStillsTurnsNiceGroupsListeningGoes OnMeetingsConcertsReally Nice Author:Robert Smith
