father thinking years
I've approached music with the understanding that knowledge is available regarding tones and their effect upon the body. I think the father of that knowledge was the mathematician Pythagoras who lived several thousand years ago. Pythagoras was also a fine musician and he knew specifically what tones would affect which parts of the body.
watches pace influence
When I started out, I preferred to watch my films without music, as its presence tends to mask the underlying pace of the film. I felt I could feel the rhythm of the film better without music to influence me.
keys track sound

I have been typecast in my career, although the type changes with the decades.

I have always had a certain rhythmic approach to my work.

Tonality is a natural force, like gravity.

There are only twelve tones and they need to be treated carefully.
color long three
Music, as long as it exists, will always take its departure from the major triad and return to it. The musician cannot escape it any more than the painter his primary colors or the architect his three dimensions.

Your task it is, amid confusion, rush, and noise, to grasp the lasting, calm and meaningful, and finding it anew, to hold and treasure it.

Music is meaningless noise unless it touches a receiving mind.
music people enemy
People who make music together cannot be enemies, at least while the music lasts.

There are only two things worth aiming for, good music and a clean conscience.
