“I don't mean to sound grandiose, but there's something universal that you tap into with films like Feast of July and Schindler's List. You know they aren't make-believe.

“Diatonic, he heard the word in his head. Chromatic, pentatonic, hexatonic, heptatonic, octatonic, each iteration of the scale opening innumerable possibilities for harmony. He thought about the Pythagorean major third, the Didymus comma, the way the intervals sound out of tune rather than as though they were different notes. This, he thought, was where his brilliance at mathematics bled into his love of music; music was the realm in which his mathematical brain danced.” WayDifferentSoundBrainHeardPossibilityMajorsThirdsHarmonyMathematicsNotesScalesOpeningMathematicalRealmsTunesHis LoveBrillianceMusic LoveIntervals Author:Ru Freeman
“Oh, it was awful, and I vowed to myself I would never, ever push myself to the edge that much again. It was really frightening. Because absolutely everything seemed to be impossible to deal with, just little things became major - noise, if someone had a radio on, or even the sound of traffic, or being in someone's company for longer than 10 minutes - I started to find it all too much.” IfsLittlesSoundDealsCompanyToo MuchImpossibleMinutesMajorsEdgesRadioNoiseAwfulLittle ThingsFrighteningTraffic Author:Elaine Paige

“I realize that artists can become fatigued from touring the world over, but if it's your first major tour, you've got to buckle down and do it, said Sami Jarroush, a music blogger for Consequence of Sound.

“I think crossing into the digital age is the big move for the industry. I think it will be the biggest thing that's happened while I've been making movies.

“Sound continues to be a mystery to me, in that one could create infinite songs focusing on the same subject, but depending on the melody, instrument choice, minor or major key, time signature, etc., each song could elicit an entirely different response.” DifferentSongChoicesSoundMysterySubjectsKeysMajorsInfiniteInstrumentsResponseEtcMelodyMinorsSignatures Author:Josh Garrels
