“ If architecture is frozen music then music must be liquid architecture. ”
The only justification for looking down on anyone, is that you're going to stop and pick them up.
~ Quincy Jones
I think the attraction of 'American Idol' is about the basic human nature attitude that is, 'We can put you up there. But we can take you down.'
To me it's no accident that all the symphony orchestras around the world tune up to the note A. And A is 440 cycles, except in Germany where it's 444. But the universe is 450 cycles. So what I'm trying to say is, I think it's God's voice, melody especially. Counterpoint, retrograde inversion, harmony... that's the science and the craft.
It's amazing how much trouble you can get in when you don't have anything else to do.
