Quotes
„On hearing: “It’s an extremely important faculty which helps to balance the nervous system. Besides, people do not hear or see the same thing. There are specialists, especially in France, that measure hearing and determine the frequencies that the ear cannot hear or can only hear at greater intensity. This can cause psychological problems”.“
„Music for me is life, I stay in my studio until ten or eleven at night and I record every day. Not for money or for albums – I just compose music.“
„Mythology, science, space exploration, these are subjects that have fascinated me since my early childhood. And they were always connected somehow with the music I write.“
„On working alone: “I enjoy working alone. I know myself, and I know what I want… and all this allows me to create my music before my thoughts can interrupt.”“
„The number of interviews I’ve ever given could be counted on the fingers of my hands.“
„On sound volume and arrangement: “No, high volume levels cause less harm than the awkward arrangement of sounds. Assuming that the sound is a wave: if this wave is not balanced by itself, it causes great damage when it enters the ear. I have tested this on a few people in my studio. I made them listen to two tracks. The first track was considered too loud, whereas the second track was actually louder but more balanced”.“
„I see the crisis like a theatrical play that concerns the world“
„I believe that our existence is first cosmic, then biological and then social“
„For every album I’ve ever made, I’ve written many times more music than has actually been released, and the way I choose which music appears is almost totally random, but one thing I have never done is to make music for the sake of commercialism“
„Generally speaking, yes, greed and capital. In other words, banking“
„It’s a game. What you read is not what’s happening. The whole planet is in trouble for the same reason“
„The negative aspect of live work is that the audience expects to be entertained, and not only that, the record company and the promoters expect you to be successful“
„I think that the best way to gain knowledge is through gaining experience and through connections“
„On music record industry: “I moved into the record industry. I was under the impression that in order to be alive and to be able to create what I had in mind I had to become successful. I realised that success and pure creativity are not very compatible. The more successful you become, the more you become a product of something that generates money. Instead of being able to move forward freely and do what you really wish, you find yourself stuck and obliged to repeat yourself and your previous success.”“
„Unfortunately most films are flooded with music“
„On voice and music: “The voice, for me, is probably the best instrument, but, on the other hand, when a person sings words they immediately limit themselves to a certain category of people, to a particular dialect.“
„On happiness: “For me, it’s harmony resulting from the cosmic wave, not the happiness resulting from the social wave”“
„I function as a channel through which music emerges from the chaos of noise.“
„I understand the world through music and I believe that music shapes the universe. Mankind has always had a sense of wonder about space, has always been curious. It’s something that’s implanted in us. It’s natural to want to travel and discover. It is, always has been, and is always going to be like this. We are space.“
„The New Age music: “gave the opportunity for untalented people to make very boring music.”“
