“Music is relegated to an underground, relatively obscure group of listeners. It's partly because of the nature of the medium. With a piece of visual art, you can look at something ugly, brutal and in your face, but it's kind of - there it is. It doesn't take you over in the same way that putting on the music at a certain volume does.” WayLooksKindDoeArtFacesCertainPiecesGroupsMusic IsUglyMediumsVisualsYour FaceBrutalVolumeListenersObscureVisual Art Author:David Byrne
“Poetry, unlike music, is a meta-art, and relies upon non-physical structures for the production of its effects. In its case, the medium is syntax, grammar and logical continuity, which together form the carrier-wave of plain sense within which its deeper meanings are broadcast.” ArtTogetherFormPoetryCasesEffectsMusic IsStructureWaveProductionsDeeperMediumsRelyLogicalGrammarContinuityCarrierRely UponSyntaxDeeper Meaning Author:Don Paterson

“Sometimes listening to music can motivate you. It can. But if you're a musician, that isn't always the way to get new ideas because you don't want to take somebody else's ideas. You need to find your own. So if you go to different artistic mediums, whether it's dance or it's visual arts or films or books, stories, sometimes it gets you hearing things, hearing progressions that you wouldn't come up with if you were just listening to other music because you don't want to copy progressions you've just heard.” IfsWayWantNeedsArtBookIdeasDifferentSometimesStoriesFilmHeardListeningMusicianMusic IsCome UpHearingMediumsArtisticVisualsCopiesNew IdeasListening To MusicProgressionJust ListenVisual ArtListening To OthersHearing Things Author:Tori Amos
“You're creating music to pull people into a world, whether it be a visual medium where music is just one element, or a purely musical medium. Either way, you're trying to transport people and to create a connection. I've always felt that the best films and the best albums can be the best company. If people feel a little bit less alone because of something I had a hand in creating than I feel like I'm contributing to the world in a positive way.” PeopleIfsWorldWayFeelsTryingLittlesHandsFilmFeltBitsCompanyElementsCreatingLittle BitMusic IsConnectionsMusicalAlbumsMediumsVisualsJust OneBeing The BestTransportContributingBest FilmCreating MusicBest Company Author:Andrew Hollander

“I think the gift of music is it's intuitive capability. I think music is a powerful medium because it co-inspires. It inspires the artist who then inspires the listener, and it's a back-and-forth process. Because it's intuitive, the truth has to be defined intuitively. It can't be preached, it can't be pushed. It's got to normally go across organically and make someone feel something, and that's the power of music.” ThinkingFeelsArtistProcessPowerfulInspireMusic IsMediumsDefinedCapabilityListenersIntuitiveBack And ForthPower Of Music Author:Serj Tankian
