“Some bands blow it before they even play. The most important moment of any show is when a band walks out with the red amp lights glowing, the flashlight that shows each performer the way to his spot on the stage. It's crucial not to blow it.

“Nature, the sun itself, produces color effects... instantaneously. The impression of these evanescent visions is what we make desperate attempts to catch and fix by any means at hand. At such moments I am unconscious of materials, of style, of rules, of everything that intervenes between my perception and the object or idea perceived.” MeanIdeasMomentsHandsVisionSunEffectsStyleObjectsProduceColorMaterialsPerceptionImpressionDesperateUnconscious Author:Joaquin Sorolla
