Music always turns into music. As soon as I play a key, push a key down, there's no theory any more. When I go and I hear a sound on the keyboard, all theories go out the window.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you listen to a lot of music, it gradually seeps into your consciousness or your unconsciousness and comes out in your music.
It's easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play.
Music is extremely intuitive, which acting too in a different way.
You have to react to what's around you in the moment, whatever the music is. Just think of it as some place you have to enter and you need to find the key.
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Whenever I write a novel, music just sort of naturally slips in (much like cats do, I suppose).
Music is really nothing if you think about it - it only becomes something when somebody listens to it. And then it becomes uncontrollable.
The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.
I write music that sounds complex but isn't. I frankly never think in terms of theory.
Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much.
