“Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.” ArtMusicOceanMusic IsCloudsWaveFluidReverieVapor Author:Victor Hugo
“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

“I think music is an intuitive force. It's this beautiful wave that connects all of us and inspires us, and I think music has the ability - when you listen to a song, you're not immediately thinking about the lyrics or what's going on in the mind of the writer, you're feeling the song.” ThinkingMindFeelingsBeautifulSongForceAbilityInspireMusic IsWaveIntuitive Author:Serj Tankian

“I think the best thing about music is that someone could be writing a song that's so personal, and it tells so many other people's story at the same time. It kind of exemplifies that we are all kind of on the same wave[length] - it's amazing how comforting somebody else's story can be, because we have experienced their story in some way or another, and I can totally relate, and I get to feel that feeling and the expression of that emotion. I get to feel like as a listener, that somebody understands me, which is pretty incredible.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsWritingKindI CanStoriesFeelingsSongEmotionExpressionMusic IsIncrediblesWaveAll KindsRelateBest ThingsLengthListenersComfortingUnderstand Me Author:Theresa Wayman
“The way I listen to music goes in waves depending on a lot of things. How busy I am, if I'm in between composition projects, if I'm starting a new project. So, the only time I listen to the radio for music is with my daughter's when I'm driving them to school, or driving them somewhere.” IfsWaySchoolProjectsMusic IsDaughterBusyStartingWaveRadioDrivingMy DaughterCompositionOnly TimeListening To MusicNew Projects Author:Tod Machover
“I don't feel like music is getting more intense; I think generally the channel for deeper harmonic saturation is not just a sine wave - but a really crunched sine wave. The trend in music is towards a harmonic saturation. I wouldn't say I'm reacting against that. It's just a personal choice to move into some weird space. This also allows me breathing room in the future. It just felt like the right thing to step back on.” ThinkingMovingChoicesMusic IsWaveIntenseRight Thing Author:Tim Hecker
