Creativity Quotes

दुनिया में, खासकर संगीत में, इतनी सारी रूढ़ियाँ और घिसे-पिटे अंदाज़ मौजूद हैं कि उनमें से किन्हीं दो को आपस में मिलाकर एक नया तालमेल बिठाना रचनात्मकता का एक कभी न खत्म होने वाला सोता है।

मैं कल्पना कर सकता हूँ कि मूर्ख संगीतकारों के बजाय समझदार मशीनें शायद बेहतर गीत लिख सकती हैं। गीतकारों के पास आमतौर पर कहने के लिए कुछ खास होता नहीं है। इससे तो अच्छा है कि उनकी जगह मशीनें ले लें।

I can imagine lyrics becoming better written by smart machines rather than stupid musicians. Songwriters generally have nothing to say. They may as well be replaced by machines.

खैर, कहने के लिए निश्चित रूप से कई नई और मौलिक बातें हैं। लेकिन मुझे पक्का यकीन नहीं है कि पॉप गाना उन्हें कहने के लिए सही माध्यम है।

Well, there are certainly original things to say. But I'm not sure that a pop song is the appropriate format to say them in.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि मैं किसी मुहावरे से बचने की कोशिश करता हूँ। जैसे ही मुझे कोई मुहावरेदार बात सूझती है, मैं उसका इस्तेमाल कर लेता हूँ। मुझे लगता है कि गीत लिखने में मुहावरे सबसे उपयोगी चीज़ होते हैं। वे एक ऐसा आधार हैं जिस पर आप पूरे गाने की इमारत खड़ी करते हैं।

I don't think there are any clichés I try to avoid. As soon as I spot a cliché, I go for it. I feel like clichés are the most useful thing in songwriting. They're the tool on which you build all the rest of the song.

मुझे लगता है कि हमने अपने बोलों, आवाज़ और संगीत के ज़रिए एक खास तरह के माहौल और धुन को पकड़ने की कोशिश की थी।

I think what we tried to do lyrically, vocally and musically was to capture a sound.

मुझे लगता है कि शायद इन सबके भीतर, फिल्म [कीनो] की अपनी एक लय और अपनी एक गतिशीलता होती है, और हम फिल्म की उस गति को पकड़कर उसे संगीत के साथ जोड़ना चाहते थे।

I think probably underneath it all, film [Kino] has its own rhythm and its own dynamic, and we were trying to capture the movement of film and cross-reference it with music.

[कीनो] एक गाने के शीर्षक के रूप में, और इसे बोल में पिरोने के लिहाज से बहुत बढ़िया साबित हुआ, और साथ ही यह भी दिखाता है कि उस दौर में हमने मल्टी-मीडिया को कैसे अपनाया था।

[Kino] worked really well as a song title, and to build into a lyric, and also how we embraced mulit-media at the time.

मुझे लगता है कि हमारे हर काम में एक खिंचाव और अलग-अलग दिशाओं में खींचती ताकतों का अहसास झलकता है। इसे "बीट म्यूजिक" कहना दिलचस्प है। यह बिल्कुल सच है कि इसमें लय सबसे आगे होती है, इसमें स्लैप बास है, और इसके नाम में "फंक" जुड़ा हुआ है। लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि जब हम इस तरह की चीजें करते थे, तो उसमें हमेशा एक व्यंग्य या कटाक्ष का स्तर जरूर होता था।

I think in everything we did, there's a sense of tension and a sense of things pulling in a different way. It's interesting calling it "beat music". That's quite true, the rhythm is up to the fore, it's got a slap bass, and it's got "funk" in the title. But I think there's always a level of irony when we did those kind of things.

हम उस समय बहुत भाग्यशाली थे कि हम वर्जिन के साथ काम कर रहे थे, और फ्लड के साथ भी, जिन्हें अब शायद ब्रायन ईनो के इंजीनियर और यू-टू (U2) के निर्माता आदि के रूप में ज्यादा जाना जाता है। भले ही हम किसी सख्त लोकप्रिय संगीत के दायरे में काम नहीं कर रहे थे, जो कि बहुत अच्छी बात थी, फिर भी हम इतने भाग्यशाली थे कि हमें ऐसे लोगों के साथ काम करने का मौका मिला जो इन सब चीजों की शुरुआत के मुहाने पर थे।

We were fortunate at that time we were working with Virgin, and with Flood, probably more well-known as Brian Eno's engineer now and U2's producer, etc. Even though we weren't working in a strictly popular music area, which was great, we were lucky enough to work with people who were on the cusp of those sort of things.

हम एक बिल्कुल अलग सोच के साथ आए थे, जो यह कहती थी कि "ध्वनि" वही है जिसे आप खुद परिभाषित करना चाहते हैं, और आप इसे अपनी पसंद के किसी भी तरीके से ढालकर संगीत का रूप दे सकते हैं।

We were coming from a completely different place, which was saying "sound" is what you want to define it as, and you can shape it into music in whichever way you want.

हाँ। जब मैं 14 वर्ष का था, तब मेरे पापा का एक रेडियो शो था जिसमें हमारे गृहनगर घेंट के बहुत ही शानदार लोग आते थे। आर एंड एस टेक्नो लेबल की शुरुआत करने वाले लोगों ने एक शो किया, और फ्रैंक डी वुल्फ नाम के एक बहुत जाने-माने टेक्नो डीजे, जो वहीं आसपास के थे, उन्होंने भी एक शो किया, और हर कोई अपनी मर्जी का कुछ भी कर सकता था। उन सब ने वहीं से शुरुआत की थी।

Yeah. When I was 14, my Dad had a radio show with really cool people from Ghent, our hometown, in it. The people who started the R&S techno label, they did a show, and a very well known Techno DJ called Frank de Wulf who was from around there, he did a show, and everybody could do what they wanted. They all started up there.

मैं टीवी के लिए कुछ करना चाहता हूँ... मैं एचबीओ पर 'कैवेलियर एंड क्ले' को आठ भागों की सीरीज के रूप में बनाना चाहता हूँ। सच कहूँ तो, यह एक सीरीज के रूप में कहीं अधिक बेहतर होगी।

I would love to do something for TV... I wanna do 'Kavalier & Clay' on HBO as an eight-parter. It'll be so much better as a series, honestly.

बचपन से जैज़ संगीत बजाने और उसमें तुरंत धुन बनाने (इम्प्रोवाइज करने) की कला का मुझ पर बहुत गहरा प्रभाव पड़ा है, और वह मेरी संगीत रचना में झलकता है।

Growing up playing jazz and improvising has had a big impact on me, and it translates into my music.

आप जानते ही हैं कि हथौड़े का इस्तेमाल सिर्फ कील ठोकने के लिए नहीं किया जाता; आप हथौड़े का इस्तेमाल किसी का सिर फोड़ने, कवच बनाने या कार की खिड़की तोड़ने के लिए भी कर सकते हैं। आप अपने वाद्य यंत्र का इस्तेमाल उसके सामान्य उद्देश्य से हटकर कई अन्य चीजों के लिए कर सकते हैं। मेरा बास गिटार मेरा सहारा है, लेकिन यह दुनिया का सबसे बेहतरीन सहारा है जो मुझे मिल सकता था।

You don't have to just hit nails with hammers, you know; you can use a hammer to beat somebody's brains in, to make armor or break a car window. You can do all kinds of things with your instrument outside of its surface purpose. My bass is my crutch but the best crutch I could have.

मुझे ऐसा लगता है कि मुझे हमेशा से नृत्य से प्यार रहा है। जब मैं छोटा बच्चा था, तो हमेशा वही होता था जो कहता था—चलो, कुछ नए डांस मूव्स तैयार करते हैं।

I feel like I've always been in love with dance. When I was little kid I would always be the one who would be like, okay let's make up some dance routines.

चाहे लोग नाच रहे हों या देख रहे हों, नृत्य सबको अच्छा महसूस कराता है। मुझे लगता है कि इससे हर कोई जुड़ाव महसूस कर सकता है, चाहे वह कोई साधारण सा स्टेप हो या कोई बी-बॉय किसी घेरे में दूसरे बी-बॉय को कमाल करते हुए देख रहा हो। यह बिना आपके जाने ही आपके चेहरे पर मुस्कान ले आता है और आपको धुन पर थिरकने पर मजबूर कर देता है।

Dancing makes people feel good whether they're doing it or watching it. It's something I think everybody can relate to whether it's just a simple two-step or a B-boy watching another B-boy go crazy in a circle. It makes you smile and without you even knowing it and it makes you rock to the beat as well.

नृत्य एक कला है, इसलिए यह दिन-प्रतिदिन विकसित हो रही है और इसमें नई-नई चीजें जोड़ी जा सकती हैं।

Dance is an art, so day by day, it's growing and there are new things that can be done.

नृत्य आपको दुनिया के इस बनावटी ढांचे से बाहर निकालता है, और यह एक ऐसा संवाद है जो आप लोगों के साथ करते हैं। कला के रूप में नृत्य का विकास इसी तरह हुआ है।

Dance removes you from this construct of the world that you have, and it's a conversation that you're having with people. That's how dance grew, as an art form.

लोग एक-दूसरे के आस-पास खड़े होकर अपने हाव-भाव एक-दूसरे के साथ साझा कर सकते हैं, फिर चाहे वे पेशेवर हों या न हों। इसी तरह से इसका विकास होता है। नृत्य यही तो करता है। यह अपनी खुद की एक भाषा है।

People can stand around and share movement with each other, whether it's professional or not. That's how it grows. That's what dance does. It's its own language.

मैं दूसरे माध्यमों के साथ काम करता रहा हूँ और कभी-कभी अब भी करता हूँ। लेकिन पेंटिंग में जो शारीरिक सक्रियता और सीधापन है, उसमें कुछ ऐसी बात है जो मुझे सम्मोहित कर लेती है। पेंटिंग की भौतिकीय प्रकृति (मटेरियलिटी) और रंग-रूप (hue and value) के दृश्य चमत्कारों के प्रति मैं बहुत आकर्षित हूँ।

I have, and do sometimes, work with other media. But there is something about the physical activity and the directness of painting that I find fascinating. I am very attracted to the materiality of paintings and the visual phenomena of hue and value.
