“Doubt is most often the source of our powerlessness. To doubt is to be faithless, to be without hope or belief. When we doubt, our self-talk sounds like this: 'I don't think I can. I don't think I will.'... To doubt is to have faith in the worst possible outcome. It is to believe in the perverseness of the universe, that even if I do well, something I don't know about will get in the way, sabotage me, or get me in the end.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayBelieveWellsI CanEndsSelfMotivationalUniverseBeliefSoundDoubtWorstSourceOutcomesHave FaithPowerlessnessWithout HopeSabotageSelf TalkFaithlessPerverseness Author:Blaine Lee Pardoe
“Like musicians who can read and write complicated scores in a world without sounds, for us mathematics is a source of delight, excitement, and even controversy which are hard to share with non mathematicians. In our small micro-cosmos we should ever seek the right balance between competition and solidarity, criticism and empathy, exclusion and inclusion.” WorldShouldWritingHardScienceSoundShareSourceBalanceMusicianEmpathyCriticismMathematicsCompetitionDelightComplicatedExcitementScoreCosmosInclusionMathematicianSolidarityControversyExclusion Author:Gil Kalai
“Great master Lao Tzu says that 'The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.'

“It's amazing. It's actually build from old Siemens Telefunken transistors from the 60ties. There is like 10 in there. It's the most powerful distortion you can have. It does not only do distortion, it does so many weird things. You can't control it, it's sound different all the time. But it's an endless source for fantastic sounds. For example the track "Transit" is entirely made with this box. You have to put the guitar sound in. It's like a pedal.” DoeMadeDifferentSoundPowerfulExampleSourceGuitarTrackBoxesEndlessFantasticMost PowerfulDistortionWeird ThingsPedalsGuitar SoundTransistors Author:Christian Fennesz
“Every Bass Communion track is based on a single sound source. Increasingly I find that I'm really interested in taking a particular sound and it's almost like solving a problem.

“DJ culture is all about collage - sampling, splicing, dicing - everything is part of the mix, and there are no boundaries between sound sources. When you apply the same logic to the environment, there's a lot of room for mapping sampling techniques to the environment itself.” CultureSoundRoomsEnvironmentSourceLogicTechniqueBoundariesDjsNo BoundariesCollagesSamplingMapping Author:DJ Spooky
“Our times seem to be so much about redefining where we are physical and where we're not. For me, it is really exciting to take the cutting edge technology and take it as far as it can get virtually, use it to describe/control the musicology or the behavior of raw natural elements, and then plug it with a sound source which is the most acoustic one there is - like gamelan and pipe organ. So you get the extremes: very virtual and very physical. In that way you shift the physicality.” WayUseSeemsSoundNaturalTechnologyCuttingSourceBehaviorElementsExcitingEdgesExtremesOur TimeOrgansPipeAcousticsPlugsPhysicalityCutting EdgeRedefiningNatural ElementsPipe Organs Author:Bjork
