“To write music is to raise a ladder without a wall to lean it against. There is no scaffolding: the building under construction is held in balance only by the miracle of a kind of internal logic, an innate sense of proportion.” WritingKindBuildingWallBalanceMusic IsLogicMiracleRaisesProportionInternalsConstructionLaddersInnateScaffoldingUnder Construction Author:Arthur Honegger

“Music is my life. The last job I had, I was a bricklayer's apprentice. And I was happy with that job, too, because it was something that made me feel good.

“What I love about '80s rock music is the amazing, fantastic melodies. In pop music, it's all about the techno beat to dance to in the club and the repetitiveness, whereas in rock music there is literally, like, balls-to-the-wall singing and playing. I love it.” RocksWallMusic IsBeatsSingingBallsClubsPopsFantasticMelody80sPop MusicRock MusicTechnoBalls To The Wall Author:Julianne Hough

“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
“Music is so clearly a commodity now. At one point, maybe 20 years ago, there were still some rumblings about keeping the really sacred American popular music out of the hands of corporate advertisers. And those walls have come down, but now I think the logical reaction to that is that you just start making your own music.” ThinkingWallMusic IsLogicalCommodityPopular Music Author:Eef Barzelay
