Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.
Sound as medium has an incredible elasticity. So, of course, it is tempting for artists of other fields to try something with sounds. Why not? We are living in the age when there is no limit in gathering all forms of art and music to mix it together if you so desire.
When I started working on ambient music, my idea was to make music that was more like painting.
Of all the arts, music is really the most abstract.
Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
The majority of the people think that noise is not music. I want to accept noise and even errors and glitches. I enjoy them.
If you see me, you're going to hear some type of music coming out of me.
Music can be made anywhere, is invisible and does not smell.
Everything I do is very visual and very aural, so I don't read music, and I draw as much as I write out lyrics.
But in the end, music is ultimately an aural art, pure and simple.
When I make music and I'm talking on records, it's like I'm painting a picture. In my mind, I'm seeing a film.
To tell you the truth, I never listen to opera at home.
There may be a parallel between woodcuts and radio; radio plays are a living art form everywhere except the USA.
I'm quite arty. I didn't know whether to become an artist or musician but I realised I could paint with music. All my songs have colours.
Radio is such a perfect medium for the transmission of poetry, primarily because there just is the voice, there's no visual distraction.
I own a fart CD. It has, I believe, over 100 fart sounds. A lovely variety, from the up-close and personal to the more experimental and dissonant. Some people prefer to listen to Bach when they go to sleep... not me.
Images and music are very connected.
I consider it a great honor to be part of the dissemination of hearable art.
Drawing is speaking to the eye; talking is painting to the ear.
Music, I say, the most divine striker of the senses.
We tend to mistake music for the physical object.
It was very interesting for me because DNA made music without much technical knowledge at all.
We don't need to illustrate music; music illustrates itself.
'Record Without A Cover' was about allowing the medium to come through, making a record that was not a document of a performance but a record that could change with time, and would be different from one copy to the next.
Music, the mosaic of the air.
