“First, it doesn't surprise me that traditional music has experienced a kind of exhaustion in the 20th century - not forgetting that many musicians started to look outside the traditional structures of tonality.” FirstsLooksKindForgetCenturyMusicianStructureSurpriseTraditional20th CenturyExhaustionSurprise MeTraditional Music Author:Pierre Schaeffer
“Essentially, the popular musician in America must learn that his basic job is to entertain people, to make them forget their sorrows for a moment or two; in the same sense that any popular art form must aim at the same distraction value. Any such job as that is basically a young man's business. It takes a young man's energy to go traveling around the country, night after night in a different place, prancing and cavorting around in front of mobs of people all out to try to forget their problems for an evening. And for a young man it can be a good enough way of life, if he happens to like it.” PeopleIfsMenWayTryingArtTwoDifferentCountryEnoughMomentsProblemHappensJobsAmericaFormYoungNightValuesEnergyForgetFrontsSorrowMusicianAimEveningYoung ManGood EnoughDistractionDifferent PlacePopular MusicPrancing Author:Artie Shaw

“I can't remember who it was - maybe Brian Eno - but some important musician guy said he recorded ambient noise from a city street and after he listened to these field recordings for the millionth time, it was like, "Oh yeah, at 1:23, that's where the car horn comes in." So when you're doing stuff like this, and you've been working on it for a year, you're like, "Oh yeah man, that makes perfect sense!" And then you forget when you give it to people, they're bewildered.” PeopleMenGivingImportantRememberGuyPerfectForgetCarMusician Author:Josh Jones
“Remember this son, if you forget everything else. A poet is a musician who can't sing. Words have to find a man's mind before they can touch his heart. And, some men's minds are woeful small targets. Music touches their hearts directly, no matter how small or stubborn the mind of the man who listens.” IfsMenMindHeartMatterRememberForgetSonPoetMusicianTargetStubbornForget EverythingName Of The Wind Book:The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chonicle: Source: The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chonicle:
