I'm very comfortable in Argentina. I was raised there as a baby and stayed there until I was 11 years old, so the first decade of my life or my formative years were spent in Argentina. I stayed in tune with the food, music and language.
I love music, and I love drumlines. I like school bands a lot. There's nothing wrong with cheerleading, but I'd rather be a band geek. It's a little more interesting.
Electronic music used pure sounds, completely calibrated. You had to think digitally, as it were, in a way that allowed you to extend serial ideas into other parameters through technology.
We've got many different sides of music to us.
The Austin music scene is the reason why so many of them moved here.
I know when to have fun, but when it comes to my music, I'm really serious about my career.
I don't practice per se. I learned to play on my own, taught myself how to play. I've never really had a lesson, and I don't read music. So all the stuff that I do doesn't come from the normal set of disciplines that they teach you where you sit down and run through scales for a particular number of minutes a day.
I started playing drums at about seven or eight. My mom used to let me play with the pots and pans, and instead of telling me to stop like most moms would, she just let me do it. So the noise kind of turned into music. From that point on, musically, that's what I want to do: start creating beats.
I taught myself how to play the guitar. I never studied music.
Music is such a problem in the time it takes.
I would say country is the one type of music I've spent the least amount of time with in my life. I grew up in Virginia, where there was a lot of it, but I was more interested in rock and roll. Southern rock.
I practice and work hard at my music, but I'm not saving lives here.
That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.
What people really should be able to be confident in is that the standards of music- making that classically trained musicians present is elite, it is the best and all of us as artists should be committed to that.
There are certain things in which mediocrity is not to be endured, such as poetry, music, painting, public speaking.
I did a postgrad at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.
When I started out, I preferred to watch my films without music, as its presence tends to mask the underlying pace of the film. I felt I could feel the rhythm of the film better without music to influence me.
Good fashion is like rock music: all anarchy and revolt.
I've always been a huge Eric Church fan. I'll never forget being in college listening to his first album and how much it inspired to write my own music.
I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
I was involved in music, acting, and some running, but my firm wish was to become a doctor. That was the formative age when I had decided on the pattern of my career.
I'm not really good with explaining myself verbally, but I do it through music and other outlets.
So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how I approached it - only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God.
Country music's really good about telling a story, so I want songs that tell good stories where people can say, 'That happened to me!'
There's always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic '60's and '70's rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we're sort of the anatomy of a '70's rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul music from the '50's and '60's.
Music washes away the dust of every day life.
Most of the conversation about how geopolitics is changing in the 21st century focuses on the shift from west to east and on how we're moving from the bipolar power equation of the Cold War to a new bipolar relationship, that of the U.S. and China, that determines the mood music for everyone else.
I hear music as narrative.
How to play music may be known. At the commencement of the piece, all the parts should sound together. As it proceeds, they should be in harmony while severally distinct and flowing without break, and thus on to the conclusion.
The stage is the best experience in the world. It's a great compliment to be able to share the music, because people can hear my album but they don't get to make the connection in the same way as when it's one-to-one.
One of the things I particularly enjoyed doing was taking raw sound from locations during the film, like the candy machine, and writing pieces of music to go with them, which is totally unnecessary within the context of the film, because they have their own logic.
I come from the Bronx, so I was exposed to every type of music you can think of.
My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.
When I listen to music, there's usually some aspect of that music that I like, and that's what I take and try to bring into my own music. Bringing in other musicians to collaborate with is a good way for me to test out new ways or make music that I might have not discovered on my own.
I really enjoy dancing. When there's music around, I can't help it; I start dancing, especially when I'm with friends.
Music, which should pulsate with life, needs new means of expression, and science alone can infuse it with youthful vigor.
