A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
The mountain music... is compelling music in its own right, harking back to a time when music was a part of everyday life and not something performed by celebrities.
山音乐…音乐本身就是一种引人注目的音乐,让人回想起音乐成为日常生活的一部分,而不是由名人表演的东西的那个时代。
Music draws from almost the identical place as art does, which really is that intangible - it's like you're pulling from the ether. I don't know where it comes from.
音乐和艺术的灵感来源几乎一样,都是无形的,就像你从以太中抽离一样。我不知道它是从哪里来的。
I don't want to write any more for the old Man-power instruments and am handicapped by the lack of adequate electrical instruments for which I now conceive my music.
我不想再为老式的人力乐器写歌了,而且由于缺少足够的电子乐器,我的创作受到了限制。
I don't limit my taste. There's some jazz that I like and there's some opera. I've been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock.
我不限制自己的品味。有我喜欢的爵士乐和歌剧。我一直在听本质上是乡村音乐的音乐,但它跨越了摇滚。
In the beginning, I was searching for myself in my music. My music was for me. I didn't have the mental room to be conscious of the listener; I wrote to save myself.
一开始,我在音乐中寻找自己。我的音乐是给我的。我没有意识到倾听者的存在;我写信是为了救自己。
People are already finding ways to make their music and play it in front of people and have a life in music, I guess, and I think that's pretty much all you can ask.
人们已经在想办法创作他们的音乐,在人们面前演奏,在音乐中生活,我想,我想这就是你能要求的。
The difference between me and the newer artists is that I have the history with the architects, the masters that started the music. I know where the music came from.
我和新一代艺术家的不同之处在于,我和建筑师、音乐创作人有着共同的历史。我知道这音乐是从哪儿来的。
I think that what is important is that the music be honest and direct and that it is relevant to today. I think music needs to be of its time and speak to that time.
我认为最重要的是音乐要诚实和直接,而且要与今天相关。我认为音乐需要与时俱进,与那个时代对话。
I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.
许多年前,我不得不辞职,因为在解释我对事物的感受时,我表达得不是很清楚。但我的音乐为我做到了,真的。
The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
舞蹈可以揭示隐藏在音乐中的一切神秘,它还有一个额外的优点,那就是人性和可触摸性。舞蹈是有胳膊有腿的诗歌。
I wanted to capture the excitement of house music, almost like a four-four beat, and the best way to do that was to use a language that was rhythmic and performative.
我想要捕捉家庭音乐的刺激,就像一个四四拍,最好的方法是使用一种有节奏的和表演性的语言。
The music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I'm doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have.
音乐在这里起主导作用,在很大程度上,我不知道我在做什么。我觉得自己与作曲这门手艺的联系比以往任何时候都要紧密。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
音乐是情感的速记。
A fine work of art - music, dance, painting, story - has the power to silence the chatter in the mind and lift us to another place.
一件优秀的艺术作品——音乐、舞蹈、绘画、故事——有能力平息我们心中的喋喋不休,把我们带到另一个地方。
No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.
没有好的歌剧情节是明智的,因为人们在感觉明智的时候是不会唱歌的。
So don't you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine.
所以不要担心你美丽的小脑袋,因为人们会朝发光的东西扔石头。
Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
没有什么比音乐更能把两代人分开了。当一个孩子八九岁的时候,他对自己的音乐产生了一种热情,这种热情甚至超过了他对拖延症和古怪衣服的热情。
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
如果我不是物理学家,我可能会成为一名音乐家。我经常在音乐方面思考。我在音乐中实现我的白日梦。我用音乐来看待我的生活。
