“For AERO, I wanted to revisit in 5.1 some existing tracks in order to give them that space I had imagined when I originally composed them, and also to compose some new tracks for this new technology. All of the existing tracks in AERO have been performed with the original instruments, re-recorded and spatially arranged/spatialised for this new dimensional sound experience without betraying their very essence.” GivingHas BeensWantedOrderSoundSpaceTechnologyEssenceOriginalsInstrumentsTrackBetrayNew Technology Author:Jean Michel Jarre

“We can reorient science - for example, a kind of medicine much more directed toward the enormous number of women's health problems which are neglected now. But the original givens of this science are the same for men and for women. Women simply have to steal the instrument; they don't have to break it, or try, a priori, to make of it something totally different. Steal it and use it for their own good.” MenTryingKindDifferentUseProblemGivenNumbersBreakExampleOriginalsInstrumentsMedicineStealingEnormousNeglectedMen WomenHealth ProblemsWomen's Health Author:Simone de Beauvoir
“A gesture cannot be regarded as the expression of an individual, as his creation (because no individual is capable of creating a fully original gesture, belonging to nobody else), nor can it even be regarded as that person's instrument; on the contrary, it is gestures that use us as their instruments, as their bearers and incarnations” PersonsUseIndividualCreationExpressionCreatingCapableOriginalsInstrumentsIndividualityContraryBelongingGesturesIncarnation Author:Milan Kundera

“I don't consider myself a musician who has achieved perfection and can't develop any further. But I compose my pieces with a formula that I created myself. Take a musician like John Coltrane. He is a perfect musician, who can give expression to all the possibilities of his instrument. But he seems to have difficulty expressing original ideas on it. That is why he keeps looking for ideas in exotic places. At least I don't have that problem, because, like I say, I find my inspiration in myself.” GivingIdeasProblemInspirationSeemsPerfectPiecesPossibilityExpressionMusicianPerfectionDifficultyOriginalsInstrumentsFormulasExoticOriginal IdeasColtraneExotic Places Author:Thelonious Monk
“I've always been obsessed with drums. They fascinate me. Any other instrument - nothing. I play acoustic guitar a bit. But it's always been drums first and foremost. I don't reckon on this Jack-of-all-trades thing. I thing that felling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts.” IfsKnowsFirstsWellsImportantDonePlayBitsSoundOriginalsInstrumentsTradeGuitarTechniqueObsessedAcousticsAcoustic GuitarBeing OriginalJack Of All Trades Author:John Bonham
