Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
One of the first things I want do when I start writing music for a film is to create its own sound world, its own music world.
...."the sound of a barrel organ rising from the deepest golden vein of the day; two or three bars of a chorus, played on a distant piano over and over again, melting in the sun on the white pavement, lost in the fire of high noon.
Opera is a musical scenery, a musical atmosphere in which the characters move and talk.
There was a lot more music than the size of the place would indicate.
I just love music generally. If you come to my house I always have music playing.
I love playing jazz because I love the freedom you have to improvise. It has given me a feeling in my classical repertoire of creating the atmosphere of the here and now.
I would do anything to be around music. You don't even have to pay me.
I go to a very visual place when I'm singing. It's very cinematic and I get this feeling of space. I love when music does that.
Sing us a song you're the piano man. Sing us a song tonight. Cause we're all in the mood for a melody, And you've got us feeling all right.
For 'Drive,' we needed the songs to dictate emotions and really bring you into the mind of The Driver; he's a unique and complicated guy, so the music itself had to be unique and complicated.
Everyone talks about how depressing Radiohead are. I don't hear it. They've created their own universe and it is dimly lit, but it's not inherently dark.
What matters in modern music is not the part you can write down, the words and the tune, but the rest - the texture, the atmosphere, the references and associations.
Music needs room to breathe.
Using open strings is a great way to add texture and atmosphere to any chord progression.
I grew up in a musical atmosphere at home.
In the house of a Fidler, all fiddle. [In the house of the fiddler all fiddle.]
I guess Zeppelin is some happy stuff compared to us. It's pretty hippy, too.
I'm also very pleased that we were able to include a full orchestrated score for Dragon's Lair 3D. The 40 different music pieces blend with the action to make you feel more a part of the whole adventure.
As many bands as you heard [in New Orleans], that's how many bands you heard playing right. I thought I was in Heaven playing second trumpet in the Tuxedo Brass Band -- and they had some funeral marches that would just touch your heart, they were so beautiful.
It was a very comfortable and personal relationship [Cliff Martinez ].'The Neon Demon'is our third movie and the music has never been as important as for this movie.
I approach horror music differently than anything else. The very first time I watch an episode, I want to be playing an instrument to it so I can get that shock into the show.
Music was language in our house. It was air.....I feel certain that if I absorbed any lessons at all in the first months and years of my life, they must have been about the work that went into making a beautiful sound.
Music is essentially an emotional language, so you want to feel something from the relationships and build music based on those feelings.
Music feels so environmental to me, especially the process of working with synths or mixing. I started thinking about music as a psychological landscape as well. It's a landscape of the mind.
