A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
Our music has always been instant reactive and I guess taking our time to absorb things and say what you really want to say could be much more offensive than anything we've ever done.
我们的音乐一直是即时反应的，我想花点时间去吸收一些东西，说出你真正想说的话，可能比我们做过的任何事情都更具攻击性。
But maybe music was not intended to satisfy the curious definiteness of man. Maybe it is better to hope that music may always be transcendental language in the most extravagant sense.
但也许音乐并不是为了满足人类好奇的确定性。也许我们最好希望音乐永远是一种超验的语言，在最奢侈的意义上。
Unquestionably, our contemporary world of music is far richer, in a sense, than earlier periods, due to the historical and geographical extensions of culture to which I have referred.

Essentially my contribution was to introduce repetition into Western music as the main ingredient without any melody over it, without anything just repeated patterns, musical patterns.

I make music that I know that people will enjoy, and balance the ideas and philosophy that we put in music with music that when we play it live, people can move to it and groove to it.

Every time you go in, it's like starting over. You don't know how you did the other records. You're learning all over. It's some weird musician amnesia, or maybe the road wipes it out.
每次你进去，就像重新开始一样。你不知道其他的记录是怎么做的。你从头到尾都在学习。这是某种奇怪的音乐家健忘症，或者也许是路把它抹去了。
I think there is great interest amongst the younger people in this music. I think that there is a lot of them that are looking for interesting situations and music that is stimulating.

I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect.
我拒绝踏入拳台，像角斗士一样与自己的对手战斗。我才不玩那个游戏。任何一位在音乐创作中活过一年或更长时间的女性都会永远受到我的尊敬。
One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product.
我真正感兴趣的一件事是，音乐是一个有生命的东西，它有一个进化过程，在某种程度上，使艺术家能够销售一个过程，而不是一件产品。
I play music a lot but on my own mostly, so it was nice to be around other people. There was a certain sense a relief in the physical act of just playing and being with other musicians.

The consolidation of the music business has made it difficult to encourage styles like the blues, all of which deserve to be celebrated as part of our most treasured national resources.

Jazz in itself is not struggling. That is, the music itself is not struggling... It's the attitude that's in trouble. My plays insist that we should not forget or toss away our history.
爵士乐本身并没有挣扎。也就是说，音乐本身并没有挣扎……问题出在态度上。我的剧本坚持认为我们不应该忘记或抛弃我们的历史。
