“Thought can never capture the movement of life, it is much too slow. It is like lightning and thunder. They occur simultaneously, but sound, travelling slower than light, reaches you later, creating the illusion of two separate events.” TwoLightSoundEventsMovementCreatingIllusionCaptureLightningThunder Author:U.G.

“We are shocked and saddened by Bob Casale's passing. He not only was integral in DEVO's sound, he worked over twenty years at Mutato, collaborating with me on sixty or seventy films and television shows, not to mention countless commercials and many video games. Bob was instrumental in creating the sound of projects as varied as Rugrats and Wes Anderson's films. He was a great friend. I will miss him greatly.” YearsShowsFilmGamesSoundMissingTelevisionProjectsCreatingTwentiesVideoPassingPassingsBobSixtyShockedSeventiesTelevision ShowsGreat FriendSaddenedCollaboratingFilm And Television Author:Mark Mothersbaugh
“I don't remember the first poem that I wrote because I've been creating poems since I was around 2 or 3. I don't have any memory of that but my mom has written evidence of it. I've always liked playing with words so when I was younger it had a lot more to do with rhyme and sounds.” FirstsRememberSoundMemoriesWrittenMomCreatingEvidenceMy MomRhyme Author:Sarah Kay
“Like many musicians, I can hear the weight in the sound. Sound is matter. We speak of the colour of an instrument, of transparency... We can demand more sombre or lighter colours, deeper playing and singing, heavier or lighter sound. And manipulating those means is like creating a painting.” MeanI CanMatterSpeakSoundPaintingDemandCreatingMusicianSingingWeightInstrumentsDeeperColourTransparencyLighters Author:Laurence Equilbey

“I've always thought that "punk" wasn't really a genre. My band started in Olympia where K Records was and K Records put out music that didn't sound super loud and aggressive. And yet they were punk because they were creating culture in their own community instead of taking their cue from MTV about what was real music and what was cool. It wasn't about a certain fashion. It was about your ideology, it was about creating a community and doing it on your own and not having to rely on, kinda, "The Man" to brand you and say that you were okay.” MenRealCertainCultureSoundCommunityRecordsFashionHe ManBandCreatingOkayIdeologyBrandsGenreLoudRelyAggressivePunkMtvReal Music Author:Kathleen Hanna
“Magic is a combination of art and science. It's an art because of the traditional parts of things, the graceful gestures, the sonorous invocations, the use of colour, sight, sound, all of these things make it very much an art form. Yet it is also a science as well because we expect something to come of what we do. Using and creating these almost dreamlike inner landscapes in which we can live, move, and have our being.” WellsArtUseMovingFormSoundMagicCreatingArt IsSightTraditionalLandscapeCombinationColourGesturesArt And ScienceInvocation Author:Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
“I've always found that when you're trying to create illusions with sound, especially in a science fiction or fantasy movie, that pulling sounds from the world around us is a great way to cement that illusion because you can go out and record an elevator in George Lucas's house or something, and it will have that motor sound.” WorldWayTryingFoundHouseSoundFictionFantasyRecordsCreatingIllusionScience FictionMovieFilmmakingPullingMotorElevatorsCement Author:Ben Burtt
