मेरा मानना है कि संगीत पेड़ों पर उगना चाहिए, जिसे बिना किसी दिखावे या कटाई के फल की तरह तोड़ा जा सके

I believe that music should be grown on trees, to be plucked like a fruit without the extravagance of harvest.

मैं एक दिन जागा और पहाड़ों पर टहल रहा था, और मैंने सोचा, "इंसान इस ग्रह के साथ सबसे बुरा क्या कर सकता है? इसे इंसानों के रहने लायक न छोड़ना और वन्यजीवों को खत्म कर देना।"

चीजों को सुनना एक सक्रिय प्रक्रिया है। यह देखने जैसा है। यह उस विचार की तरह है जिसमें आँखें रोशनी बाहर फेंकती हैं, मैंने सुना है कि छोटे बच्चे जब दृष्टि को समझाने को कहे जाते हैं, तो वे यही कहते हैं कि आँखें प्रकाश बाहर भेजती हैं, न कि सिर्फ बाहर से प्रकाश को ग्रहण करती हैं।

Listening is active. It's like vision. It's like the idea of the eye projecting light, which I've heard is what children and infants say when they're asked to explain vision - that the eye projects light, rather than just receives it.

जब आप संगीत सुन रहे होते हैं, तो एक दिन किसी दोस्त के साथ सुनते हैं और वह कुछ और ही अनुभव देता है। अगले दिन किसी दूसरे दोस्त के साथ सुनते हैं, तो वह थोड़ा अलग लगता है। कई बार संगीत सुनने का सबसे बड़ा आनंद वह गाना नहीं होता जिसे आप सुन रहे हैं; बल्कि वह इंसान होता है जिसके साथ आप उसे सुन रहे होते हैं।

When you're listening to music, you listen to it with a friend one day and it sounds one way. You listen to it with another friend the next day, and it sounds a little different. Sometimes the greatest pleasure of listening is not the music that you're listening to; it's the person that you're listening to it with.

एक तरह से, रिकॉर्ड किया गया सारा संगीत एक ही स्तर पर ला दिया जाता है, चाहे वह कुछ भी हो। आप उसे दुकान पर पाते हैं, बजाते हैं और कहते हैं, "अरे, यह बकवास है। यह गैंग्स्टर रैप है, यह श्वेत-वर्चस्व वाला पंक है।" लेकिन किसी हद तक, उसका असली सार उसे बनाने वालों की नीयत से अलग कर दिया जाता है। यही संगीत का व्यावसायिक स्तर है।

In a way, all recorded music is reduced to the same level, no matter what it is. You find it in the store, you put it on and, "Oh, that's not cool. That's gangsta rap. That's white supremacist punk." But in a way, the content is removed from the intention of the people that made it. That's the commercial level of music.

मुझे लगता है कि संगीत और भावनाओं का तालमेल बिठाना अपने आप में बेहद दिलचस्प विषय है। मुझे यकीन है कि एक स्तर पर यह वाकई बहुत अहम है, लेकिन यह भी उतना ही जरूरी है कि आप किसी ऐसे संगीत पर अपनी भावनाएं न थोपें जिसकी अपनी एक तयशुदा भावना हो।

संगीतकार हमेशा पर्यावरण संबंधी मुद्दों या किसी तरह की राजनीतिक सक्रियता से जुड़ने के लिए अपनी रचनात्मकता का बलिदान देना चाहते हैं - वे चाहते हैं कि संगीत को जन-समूह के स्तर पर किसी ऐसे गीत या गिटार धुन तक सीमित कर दिया जाए जिसका कोई खास संदेश हो।

कोई कट्टर बात कहने का अपना ही एक सही और सटीक मज़ा होता है। मैं इसका समर्थन करता हूँ, लेकिन व्यक्तिगत चेतना का यह स्तर उस स्रोत से बिल्कुल अलग है जहाँ से हमारा संगीत जन्म लेता है।

I love the appropriateness of making a dogmatic statement. I support that, but that is a different level of the individual consciousness than was the source of our music.

हमारी व्यक्तिगत चेतना असल में एक बड़ी व्यवस्था का हिस्सा है। चेतना के कई स्तर होते हैं, और संगीत रचने में जिस रचनात्मकता का इस्तेमाल होता है, वह किसी दूसरे स्तर से आती है जो पूरी तरह से व्यक्तिगत नहीं होती।

Our individual consciousness is actually part of a larger system. There are many levels of consciousness, and the creativity used in composing the music comes from another level that is not purely personal.

एक तरह से, धुनों के स्तर पर रचना करना किसी संगीतमय सच्चाई को अभिव्यクト करने जैसा है, लगभग किसी ज्यामितीय (geometric) सत्य की तरह। अगर इसमें स्पष्टता है, तो दूसरे लोग इसे खुद-ब-खुद पहचान लेंगे। इसे किसी आर्ट गैलरी की सफेद दीवार पर टांगकर यह नहीं कहा जा सकता कि, "यह एक कलाकृति है। यह एक गणितीय प्रमाण है।"

In a way, composing on the melodic level is an expression of a melodic truth, almost like a geometric truth. If it has clarity, other people will recognize it. There's no way of isolating it in a gallery on a white wall and saying, "This is a work of art. This is a mathematical proof."

कुछ संगीत वाकई बेहद गहरे और निराशाजनक होते हैं, इस मायनों में कि उनमें उम्मीद की कोई किरण नहीं होती। लेकिन फिर भी, उम्मीद जताने का काम खुद में एक कलाकृति का निर्माण करना ही है।
