There Is Poetry As Soon As We

I Believe The Use Of Noise To Make Music Will Increase Until We Reach A Music Produced Through The Aid Of Electrical Instruments Which Will Make Available For Musical Purposes Any And All Sounds That Can Be Heard.

When I Hear What We Call Music, It Seems To Me That Someone Is Talking. And Talking About His Feelings, Or About His Ideas Of Relationships. But When I Hear Traffic, The Sound Of Traffic - Here On Sixth Avenue, For Instance - I Don’t Have The Feeling That Anyone Is Talking. I Have The Feeling That Sound Is Acting. And I Love The Activity Of Sound... I Don’t Need Sound To Talk To Me.

I Certainly Had No Feeling For Harmony, And Schoenberg Thought That That Would Make It Impossible For Me To Write Music. He Said, 'you'll Come To A Wall You Won't Be Able To Get Through.' So I Said, 'i'll Beat My Head Against That Wall.'

There Was A German Philosopher Who Is Very Well Known, His Name Was Immanuel Kant, And He Said There Are Two Things That Don’t Have To Mean Anything, One Is Music And The Other Is Laughter. Don’t Have To Mean Anything That Is, In Order To Give Us Deep Pleasure.
