Composer Quotes

I don’t think they understand it’s as important as math and science. It rounds you out as a person. I think it gives you a love of certain things. You don’t have to become the next great composer.

I don’t think a guy that really has no understanding about people, or has no interest in understanding people would make a good film composer Picture Quote #1

As I get older, I’m slowing down and, yes, calming down in my desire to be taken seriously. That I can be entertaining and funny and high nervous energy can work against me as a serious composer, slowly but surely you’ll see me be quieter just so that people will listen Picture Quote #1

I think it’s really the job of the composer, the artist, the painter, the writer to present people with options. I’m just really reflecting the thoughts and actions around me Picture Quote #1

I am not a composer of music; I sing pieces which have been written for me which gives me bigger freedom to search for pieces I want to record Picture Quote #1

As a composer, I believe that music has the power to inspire a renewal of human consciousness, culture, and politics. And yet I refuse to make political art. More often than not political art fails as politics, and all too often it fails as art. To reach its fullest power, to be most moving and most fully useful to us, art must be itself Picture Quote #1

Historically, there is a fight between the sound designer and the composer. You see them in the mixing room and they’re always fighting because the composer wants the music to be heard and the sound designer wants the sound to be heard Picture Quote #1

I’m not an original composer. The tunes are not stolen from other tunes necessarily except in a few cases, but they’re in the style of songs that I grew up with Picture Quote #1

When I am with composers, I say I am a conductor. When I am with conductors, I say I am a composer Picture Quote #1

Notes are part of life for any composer for hire. There’s no way around it. I think anyone who has done even a small number of films as a professional composer gets used to that idea pretty quickly Picture Quote #1

Creative force, like a musical composer, goes on unweariedly repeating a simple air or theme, now high, now low, in solo, in chorus, ten thousand times reverberated, till it fills earth and heaven with the chant Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do a musical actually. My background is in music. I have a bachelors in music. I thought that I was going to be a composer, long ago when I first started. So it was amazingly fun to do those two routines in the film Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been fascinated by music and sounds. I was lucky to receive proper classical training as an orchestra player and I’m always learning as a composer, looking to create new flavors and colors Picture Quote #1

I’m a geek and I’m a nerd, and I can listen into any piece of music. I think, I can usually tell you what orchestra it was, I can usually tell you what hall it was in. I can tell you, obviously who the conductor was, and who the composer was Picture Quote #1

A man with a talent does what is expected of him, makes his way, constructs, is an engineer, a composer, a builder of bridges. It’s the natural order of things that he construct objects outside himself and his family. The woman who does so is aberrant. We have to expiate for this cursed talent someone handed out to us, by mistake, in the black mystery of genetics Picture Quote #1

The field of the novel is very rich. If you’re a composer, you’re well aware of the history of composition, and you are trying to make your music part of that history. You’re not ahistorical. In the same way, I think, if you write now, you are writing in the historical context of what the novel has been and what possibilities it has revealed Picture Quote #1
