“Music is the cup that holds the wine of silence. Sound is that cup, but empty. Noise is that cup, but broken”
― Robert Fripp

“Writing about music is like dancing about architecture”
― Thelonious Monk

“The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively - because, without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins. You have to put a 'box' around it because otherwise, what is that shit on the wall?

If John Cage, for instance, says, "I'm putting a contact microphone on my throat, and I'm going to drink carrot juice, and that's my composition," then his gurgling qualifies as his composition because he put a frame around it and said so. "Take it or leave it, I now will this to be music." After that it's a matter of taste. Without the frame-as-announced, it's a guy swallowing carrot juice.”

“The people who know nothing about music are the ones always talking about it”
― Nat King Cole
