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

Just finished Krzysztof Kieślowski’s incredible #ThreeColors trilogy. If you’ve seen them, what was your favourite in the trilogy? For me, I think Red and Blue are tied, followed by White, but they all were magical in different ways. #krzysztofkieslowski #blue #white #red #criterioncollection

Wu-tang Forever! This is the 1997 original, still in shrink wrap. #wutang #wutangforever #RZA #hiphop #classic

I had a great mini-trip to Vancouver that consisted of good food, coffee, record stores, and a talk and live film scoring of #the36chambersofshaolin by #RZA. #livefromthe36thchamber #riotheatre
