“The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark When neither is attended; and I think The nightingale, if she should sing by day When every goose is cackling, would be thought No better a musician than the wren.

“Astronomers have a common ground for discussion with musicians in the harmony of the stars and musical concords in tetrads and triads of the fourth and the fifth, and with geometricians in the subject of vision; and in all other sciences many points, perhaps all, are common so far as the discussion of them is concerned. But the actual undertaking of works which are brought to perfection by the hand and its manipulation is the function of those who have been specially trained to deal with a single art.” Has BeensArtHandsStarsDealsCommonVisionSubjectsMusicianConcernedPerfectionFunctionHarmonyMusicalDiscussionManipulationFourthFifthUndertakingsCommon GroundAstronomersTriads Author:Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
“Often, equipment can as easily function as a security blanket for musicians unwilling or unable to risk anything personal in the studio. Whether one catches the feeling on a record is a subjective matter. How can you be sure? The machinery can hold out the promise of at least mechanical perfection.” MatterFeelingsRecordsRiskSecurityPromiseMusicianPerfectionFunctionStudiosEquipmentSubjectiveMachineryBlanketUnwilling Author:Jon Landau
“I've done a bunch of collaborations where it goes well and you finish it, but then you're kind of like, "I just don't like it." And it sits there. It can be awkward, but a real musician understands that you're not always going to make what you want it to be. You can't just polish everything into perfection.” KindRealDoneMusicianPerfectionCollaborationAwkward Author:Nick Murphy
“A lot of musicians are super - insecure and they take forever and they obsess over the minutia and it's really stifling. It's not that the band The Black Keys is that confident, it's that we're not striving for perfection. We are just trying to have fun. None of the music that we like is perfect. It's good. And real. We just want to make real records, flaws and all.” TryingRealFunBlackPerfectForeverMusicianPerfectionStriveHaving FunFlawsInsecure Author:Dan Auerbach

“And with a few moments like that, with doubt from here and there, and within ourselves we were just striving for excellence. We had somehow understood and felt that all the musicians who would come to the House later on, that all the singers, the big artists, were striving for excellence in their life and we thought a house for them, there’s no limit to the excellence it should have because it should match their strive for perfection” ShouldMomentsBigsArtistHouseFeltDoubtLimitsMusicianUnderstoodPerfectionShould HaveExcellenceStriveSingersHere And ThereStriving For Excellence Author:Jørn Utzon
“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
