"Without music, life would be a mistake."



Really feel like playing my synthesizer today but sadly it isnt wid me here in delhi...... so started to think.....

What makes me want this music to be such a living and breathing part of my life???...

And I started to search the net( dont we all do wen we need the answers to life's petty and trival questions) and found so many people who had something very wise to say about this amazing invention called music.


If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.


And that is exactly what is happening to me.. i look for music when i listen to someone talk, while travelling in the typical delhi autorickshaw, i look for a rhythm to hum along to( i think Mr Rahman was doing the same when he composed Chaiya chaiya or the more latest creation of his " OOOOO SAAYA" from slumdog millionaire..... love the way the train tracks can add to the beauty of a simple melody...
So here goes nothing.....


And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence."

~ Paul Simon ~


2 A.M. and I'm still awake writing this song.
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer
Inside of me, threatenin' the life it belongs to

Anna Nalick.

All aspects of musical practice may be disengaged, and privileged, in order to give birth to new forms of variation: variations on the relationships between the composer and the performer, between the conductor and the performer, between the performers, between the performer and the listener, variations upon gestures, variations on silence that end in a mute music that is still music because it preserves still something of the musical totality of the tradition...all elements belonging to the total musical fact may be seperated and taken as a strategic variable of musical production. This autonomization serves as true musical experimentation: little by little, the individual variables that make up a total musical fact are brought to light. Any particular music then appears as one that has made a choice among these variables, and that has privileged a certain number of them. Under these conditions, musical analysis would have to begin by recognizing the strategic variables characteristic of a given musical system: musical invention and musical analysis lend each other mutual aid.


With a guitar in our hands, and rock in our hearts! And in the words of AC/DC: "We roll tonight to the guitar bite, and for those about to rock, I salute you."


Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST..."

Frank Zappa

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Victor Hugo

Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.

G. K. Chesterton
