To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.
The world is full of sounds. We just don’t usually hear them as music.
Music is changing. I’m just doing what I’m doing, and hopefully in the next 20, 30 years, some kids can take what I’m doing and change it again. If the music doesn’t move, then it’s dead.
As a music industry, if we remain in competition, then we die. We have to understand that we’re all in this together. Collaboration and synergy, it’s one of the most important things out there.
I listen to all kinds of music – new music, old music, music of my colleagues, everything.
All music is folk music. I ain’t never heard a horse sing a song.
Rap actually comes out of punk rock, not black music.
Music is the voice that tells us that the human race is greater than it knows.
Music is critical in our lives and culture. It’s the inspiration that drives us. It’s also the window to our souls. It’s a reflection as to who we are, what we stand for and where we’re going.
For me, electronic music is the classical music of the 21st century.
I love the idea of using film language similarly to how musicians use music – combining images and sounds in a way that they create an emotional effect.
The best sounds a kid will get is in a movie theater, with huge speakers, turned up loud. I always mix my music really loud. I don’t care if you don’t hear all the dialogue. The audience are not idiots.
Every act, every deed of justice and mercy and benevolence, makes heavenly music in Heaven.
Art, whatever form it takes, requires hard work, craftsmanship and creativity. As a writer, I know my grammar, cadence, the music of prose, and the art of the narrative.
Historically, black music has influenced other cultures and other genres and created other genres.
Music is always a creative process that comes from the heart. It’s a feeling, a vibration, that we ride on.
If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that’s a wonderful thing.
I call architecture frozen music.
Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom.
Music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment.
The music is the message, the message is the music. So that’s my little ministry that the Big Man upstairs gave to me – a little ministry called love and happiness.
I love to have a bath with beautiful, relaxing music on and have no rush to do anything. It’s a wonderful indulgence, and it helps me to calm down and stop my mind running overtime.
To me, that’s what music entails. It’s freedom, it’s having the undeniable confidence to express yourself in a way that you know is right.
Music took me from a real dark place to a real bright one.
I like lots of Korean music that most people have probably never heard of. I also enjoy hip hop.
