“I don't know if I want to record together again. I go off and on it... In the old days, when we needed an album, Paul and I got together and produced enough songs for it.

“Music is there for us to explore. To intentionally limit yourself to one, two, or three genres is limitation at its worst.

“The fundamental message of the Wu Tang music is as vast as the ocean in all reality, but it's still a straight path.

“It is agreed that all sound which is the material of music is of three sorts. First is harmonica, which consists of vocal music; second is organica, which is formed from the breath; third is rhythmica, which receives its numbers from the beat of the fingers. For sound is produced either by the voice, coming through the throat; or by the breath, coming through the trumpet or tibia, for example; or by touch, as in the case of the cithara or anything else that gives a tuneful sound on being struck.” GivingFirstsThreeSoundVoiceNumbersMusicCasesExampleMaterialsMusic IsBeatsThirdsBreathsFingersThroatVocalTrumpetsHarmonicasSevilleVocal Music Author:Isidore of Seville
“I studied piano from the age of three. My grandmother taught piano. I stayed at her house during the day while my parents worked. I obviously wanted to learn to play. And so she asked if she could teach me, and my mother said don't you think she's too young. My grandmother apparently said no. So I could read music before I could read, and I really don't remember learning to read music. So for me it's like a native language.

“The French Revolution gave us three... powerful ideas, or concepts - liberty, equality and fraternity. But these ideas... are not only right in themselves, but they are so because they come in the proper order. You cannot have equality without liberty, and you certainly cannot have fraternity without equality. The importance of this I learnt from music, because music evolves in time, and therefore the order inevitably determines the content.” IdeasOrderThreePowerfulLibertyRevolutionMusic IsConceptsImportanceDetermineEvolveFraternityFrench Revolution Author:Daniel Barenboim
“Music is neither old nor modern: it is either good or bad music, and the date at which it was written has no significance whatever. Dates and periods are of interest only to the student of musical history. . . . All old music was modern once, and much more of the music of yesterday already sounds more old-fashioned than works which were written three centuries ago. All good music, whatever its date, is ageless - as alive and significant today as it was when it was written” TodayThreeSoundInterestAliveWrittenModernCenturyStudentsPeriodsMusic IsMusicalYesterdaySignificantSignificanceOld FashionedAgelessOld MusicBad Music Author:Peter Warlock
“I've been making films with almost no dialogue (laughs), so sound and music become a very powerful character to tell the story. It's almost like with sound and music and images, it's your tool to tell the story, especially when I decide to structure the film in a way that usually goes against the conventions of the three-act structure which most films are made out of.” WayMadeCharacterStoriesFilmThreeSoundPowerfulLaughingMusic IsToolsStructureDialogueConventionsVery PowerfulSound And Music Author:Nicolas Winding Refn

“Some of the folks we see are in for defending themselves against their abusers, or drug charges that, because of the California state prison system, they have mandatory sentencing and life in prison for three counts of simple drug possession, or whatever.
