“It wasn't really touching to be young; it was touching not to be young, because you had less of life left. Touching to be thirty; more touching to be forty; tragic to be fifty; and heartbreaking to be sixty. As to seventy, as to eighty, one would feel as one did during the last dance of a ball, tired but fey in the paling dawn, desperately making the most of each bar of music before one went home to bed.” FeelsHomeLastsYoungLeftBedMusic IsBallsTiredBarsDawnThirtyFiftyTragicFortyTouchingSixtySeventiesEightyHeartbreakingBe YoungFeyLast Dance Author:Rose Macaulay

“Making music clips, I have a responsibility to depict the artist in a way that suits them, and feels comfortable with how they want to present their music. From there I usually try to tell a story visually that complements the music, that lets the music be the hero element of the project. I just try to do something that feels sincere and creative and a little bit home-brewed so it doesn't feel too plastic or phony.” WayWantFeelsTryingLittlesStoriesHomeArtistBitsResponsibilityCreativeHeroElementsComfortableProjectsLittle BitMusic IsSuitsSincerePlasticPhonyComplementClip Author:Adria Petty
“A lot of blues music seems like it's moving away from God, or the center, and Gospel music is moving towards it. It's embracing a higher reality. When you look a little closer, the way that I define it or explain it, is that the blues is the naked cry of the human heart, apart from God. People are searching for union with God. They're searching to be home. There's something in people that seeks this union with their creator. Why am I here? Where am I going? What's it all about? Who am I?

“When I was home, traditionally since I was young, I'd write in cafés. That was the romantic notion in 1963. Café atmospheres back then were different. The café life really stemmed from the Parisians' idea of it, with poets struggling over their poems and drinking coffee. No music, no sounds, maybe a little jazz, or soul, but mostly nothing. Now you go into a café and the music is really loud, people are having business meetings, they are on their cellphones. It changes from generation to generation.” PeopleWritingLittlesIdeasDifferentSoulHomeYoungSoundStruggleGenerationsPoetMusic IsJazzMeetingsDrinkingNotionCoffeeAtmosphereLoudCellphoneDrinking CoffeeBusiness Meeting Author:Patti Smith
“I trust microphones, speakers and recordings less and less, and no longer buy into the idea that I can recreate at home, or in my earphones, the experience of hearing live acoustic instruments. The orchestra is already a set of speakers that react differently to each player, each room and each concert - it's that high level of uncertainly and unrepeatability that I like. The music is just soaked into the walls of a room straight from the instruments - and it's a one-off deal. The alternative - left speaker, right speaker - is kind of a compromise.” KindHomePlayerWallMusic IsCompromiseSpeakers Author:Jonny Greenwood
“I'm sort of socially inept, so music is my way to connect to people. It's a means of socializing and having a life. Otherwise I wouldn't bother.
