Quotes

"A historical property has morals and ethics of the society that created it and can be revived. What I mean is that we can discover new possibilities from the process of dismantling, transforming, and recreating."
-Ai Weiwei

"Thus, because jazz finds its very life in an endless improvisation upon traditional materials, the jazzman must lose his identity even as he finds it..."
-Ralph Ellison

“Midway along the journey of our life / I woke to find myself in a dark wood, / for I had wandered off from the straight path."
-Dante

"Sampling is a new way of doing something that’s been with us for a long time […] The mix breaks free from the old associations. New contexts form from old. The script gets flipped. The languages evolve and learn to speak in new forms, new thoughts. The sound of thought becomes legible again at the edge of the new meanings."
-DJ Spooky

Happy birthday to the late and great Stanley Kubrick and his incredible use of music in film. #stanleykubrick #barrylyndon #aclockworkorange #theshining #2001aspaceodyssey

Max Richter’s The Blue Notebooks, which was inspired by Kafka's Blue Octavo Notebooks, is such a masterpiece. I’m stoked to finally have it on special edition vinyl with remixes and all. #maxrichter #onthenatureofdaylight #thebluenotebooks #postclassical

Getting weird and having fun with DJ Phoenix and Aphex Twin. #aphextwin #richarddjamesalbum #djphoenixplaysarecord
