“I always heard it musically, and I guess it's written rhythmically as well,”
Nick Cave
“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.”
“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
“[The work] resembles a breech delivery-one which is expressed in rhythmic lurches, stabs of phrase and vocal ornamentation designed to express agitation rather than decorative grace.”
Bernard Holland
“It's a 100 percent shot, an explosive shot as opposed to a smooth, rhythmical timing of the leg. It's like hitting all out on a driver as opposed to putting a ball.”
