Zitat des Tages von Yanni:
With instrumental music, it is traditionally hard to get exposure.
I am so happy that I didn't go to school and I didn't have anyone to tell me how to position my fingers on the piano correctly.
I am so happy that I didn't go to school and I didn't have anyone to tell me how to position my fingers on the piano correctly. And what you do with music and what is the correct way to write it and what is not the correct way to write it.
My music is based on melody and when I play the piano, it's as if I'm singing with them. When you try to transform that into a vocal, there was very little adjustment.
The good news is when you open up in Vegas, you have a lot of friends, because they all come over to see your opening night.
Not being able to read and write music is not the same as being illiterate in speech and writing.
I dread naming pieces of music because being instrumental, most of the time the songs that I write are instrumental, I want the listener to make up their own story as to what it is and get the emotion pure without using logic.
When you hear 'Truth of Touch,' I believe you recognize that it is me; however it's not the typical Yanni album.
While most of the music I write is instrumental, I love to use the human voice as another instrument.
New Age is a very small box. It was a term that was brought in by the music industry to classify music that is neither jazz, classical, pop or rock. They didn't know what to call it or what to do with it. So they threw it all together under this one name.
Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.
Being an athlete helps me get those grandiose emotions of pleasure and pain that are involved in sports.
I don't really like to explain my songs.
Truth is the number one element in whatever you do with music.
I just would use any instrument known to man in any combination as long as it describes an emotion.
I don't like to define my music. To me, music is pure emotion. It's language that can communicate certain emotions and the rhythms cuts across genders, cultures and nationalities. All you need to do is close your eyes and feel those emotions.
