My musical knowledge is so bad it's embarrassing. When composers discuss music with someone as primitive as myself, they have to talk about it in terms of senses and emotion, rather than keys and tempo.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am an interpreter of music rather than a composer of it.
I am not musically educated yet. I don't read - I make my own language that works for myself. But I play by ear.
Naturally, no one knows more about music than musicians. They talk about their own work all the time, but they rarely get to talk about other people's music.
I don't have a classical-music mentality. I haven't been taught that way, and it doesn't fit my character, either.
It is always interesting and sometimes even important to have intimate knowledge of a composer's life, but it is not essential in order to understand the composer's works.
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory; that's when you do your best work.
I think my type of personality has all music inside of it, so I am full of music, without even knowing it, without even learning it, without even hearing it.
Music is essentially built upon primitive memory structures.
Many, many composers have only found their way to a certain form, through familiarizing themselves with texts.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
