“I always heard it musically, and I guess it's written rhythmically as well ... It's very similar to the way my band operates. There are moments of intense violence and there are also moments of long, lyrical, quiet sadness.”
Nick Cave
“I always heard it musically, and I guess it's written rhythmically as well,”
“I think musically, if you talk to (drummer) Matt Chamberlain, he'll tell you it's really complicated rhythmically.”
Tori Amos
“A lot of people automatically think of African music as rhythmic festival music. A lot of it is, but some of the highest moments in our shows have been when we're barely touching our strings. In the same show, people will be dancing in the aisle, and then sitting quietly and you can hear a pin drop.”
Walter Strauss
“This particular musical, the whole thing revolves around trumpet. It's a very rhythmically driven show.”
Solveig Holmquist
“Just as we expected, two or more synthesized fish hums played together produce the rhythmic, acoustic beats. And sure enough, the females were able to directly localize one of the humming speakers. Their midbrain neurons form a code of the beats that helps in their calculations to locate the hum of interest from all the rest.”
Andrew H. Bass
“Usually there's some kind of clue, whether it's a rhythmic foundation or sometimes its very abstract - just an emotional kind of landscape - and then you just kind of start someplace.”
