“Art is the distillate of life, the winnowed result of the experience of a people, the record of the joyous adventure of the creative spirit in us toward a higher world; a world in which all ideas, thoughts, and forms are pure and beautiful and completely clear, the world Plato held to be perfect and eternal. All works that have in them an element of joy are records of this adventure.” PeopleWorldArtIdeasBeautifulFormJoySpiritPerfectResultsCreativeClearRecordsAdventureHigherPureElementsEternalArt IsPlatoJoyousCreative Spirit Author:Lawren Harris
“I’ve never intended to make religious records or records that preach some kind of point of view...

“But who you are is not a concept in the sky, and it's not a record of you accomplishments either. The most original and creative side of you can re-emerge only when you get time of your own, free time, wide-open time, uncommitted time, time in which to go after dreams or do absolutely nothing if you choose. Without it you can't have a self.” IfsSelfDreamSidesCreativeRecordsSkyConceptsOriginalsWho You AreAgingWideAccomplishmentYou ChooseAbsolutely NothingFree TimeUncommitted Author:Barbara Sher
“I would have government defend the life and property of all citizens equally; protect all willing exchange; suppress and penalize all fraud, all misrepresentation, all violence, all predatory practices; invoke a common justice under law; and keep the records incidental to these functions. Even this is a bigger assignment than governments, generally, have proven capable of. Let governments do these things and do them well.

“To make a record requires a strategy; it's not just throwing somebody in the studio and seeing how it goes. Some artists are self-contained, but they still need advice about producers and collaborations and single choice. They need an army and a perspective and creative friction, because nobody has all the ideas.” NeedsStillsIdeasSelfArtistChoicesCreativeRecordsSeeingAdvicePerspectiveArmyStrategyStudiosProducersCollaborationThrowingFrictionSelf Contained Author:Tom Corson
“I've been friends with the guys in Radiohead for a lot of years, and I watch the way those guys work with incredible envy. Because whatever the slings and arrows of dealing with the record business, at the end of the day, they have total creative autonomy. They don't need a lot to do what they do, and Thom [Yorke] and Jonny [Greenwood] and the guys have their own joint in their hometown.” WayNeedsYearsEndsGuyWatchesCreativeRecordsIncrediblesEnvyThe End Of The DayAutonomyJointsArrowsHometownRadioheadSlings And Arrows Author:Edward Norton
“The relationship with actor and director is probably closer to theater, in that, when we record the dialogue, there is very little in the way of the creative collaboration - no cameras, lighting or even locations. Then, once we record, the post process is very similar to the post flow in filmmaking - editing, sound design, mixing, etc. At the end of the day, it's all about storytelling and honing in on a tone by developing a rhythm and structure that suits the storytelling.” WayLittlesEndsActorsProcessSoundCreativeRecordsDesignDirectorsFlowTheaterCamerasStructureDialogueStorytellingSuitsRhythmDevelopingPostsToneThe End Of The DayEtcCollaborationFilmmakingEditingLocationLightingMixingHoningSound DesignCreative Collaboration Author:Glenn McQuaid
“The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company.

“It's like I'll sit down and put my hands on the piano or the guitar, and then I'll hear a sound or I'll feel a chord that will resonate and then I'll get something happening in my voice. My voice is like a car that I get into and drive but I don't know where I'm going. And I record everything. And often, I sort of get into a state, a creative state that is, where I'm just feeling around melodically, and playing things off the top of my head. Then I go back and listen to it and for the first time, hear what I just did. It's like Elvis has left the building while the thing is happening.” KnowsFeelsFirstsStatesFeelingsHandsLeftSoundVoiceCreativeRecordsCarBuildingHappeningsFirst TimeDown AndGuitarThings HappenPianoChords Author:Beth Nielsen Chapman
