“Of all the sights and sounds which attracted me on my first arrival to live in London in the mid-thirties, one combined operation left a lingering, individual spell. I naturally went to Hyde Park to hear the orators, the best of the many free entertainments on offer in the capital. I heard the purest milk of the world flowing, then as now, from the platform of the Socialist Party of Great Britain.” WorldFirstsIndividualLeftSoundPartyHeardOffersSightEntertainmentLondonOperationsParksBritainSpellsMilkPlatformsSocialistArrivalsGreat BritainLingeringOratorsHydeSight And SoundSocialist PartyHyde Park Book:Debts of Honour Source: Debts of Honour
“The absolutist lays down the law, but the relativist hears only roaring and bawling. Or, when the relativist voice, as it is heard from philosophers such as Nietzsche or James, itself starts to grate and sounds shrill, as it often does, and when the relativist then offers concessions, the absolutist hears only insincerity. The war of words can often turn into a dialogue of the deaf, and this too if part of its power to arouse outrage and fury.” IfsDoeWarLawTurnsSoundVoiceHeardOffersLaysPhilosopherDialogueDeafFuryOutrageRoaringConcessionsInsincerityAbsolutismGrate Book:Truth: A Guide for the Perplexed: A Guide for the Perplexed Source: Truth: A Guide for the Perplexed: A Guide for the Perplexed
“The so-called Philosophy of India is even more blowsy and senseless than the metaphysics of the West. It is at war with everything we know of the workings of the human mind, and with every sound idea formulated by mankind. If it prevailed in the whole modern world we'd still be in the Thirteenth Century; nay, we'd be back among the Egyptians of the pyramid age. Its only coherent contribution to Western thought has been theosophy-and theosophy is as idiotic as Christian Science.

“The use of electronics is a natural extension of the instrument - it is an electric guitar. So we guitarists have been plugging into something since 1931, and we are not about to stop now. Current advances in technology means we can have a huge array of sounds at our fingertips, and this offers amazing possibilities to the contemporary composer. It is always a guitar (I don't play synthesizer) but it becomes something else all together - more like sculpting sound in real time using metal wires, 5 fingers and a pick.” MeanHas BeensRealPlayUseTogetherSoundNaturalTechnologyPossibilityHugeOffersPicksInstrumentsFingersGuitarCurrentsContemporaryMetalsComposerElectricExtensionsWireGuitaristUsing MeFingertipsElectronicsElectric GuitarSculptingSynthesizers Author:Tim Brady

“We should think about what we mean by literacy. If you say, "He's a very literate person," what you really mean is that he knows a lot, thinks a lot, has a certain frame of mind that comes through reading and knowing about various subjects.The major route open to literacy has been through reading and writing text.

“When I write and produce something, I know exactly how I want it to sound, and I have a very strong interpretation of it.
