Music Thoughts site for inspiration

Post by toofar »

Derek Sivers has just reposted his Music Thoughts site in multiple languages. It's a great spot to hit for a little inspiration, humor, perspective, from folks like Brian Eno, Miles Davis, John Cage, and lots more. One of the quotes found here may be just the thing to help you see the piece you're working on in a new way.

Thanks Bill. There is also a great book called "Quotations About music" that I highly recommend. You can get a copy for under $2 on Amazon. Well worth it and you can take it in the bathroom if needed.

My favorite quote about music? " " ~anonymous

I think I might even have a copy of that, come to think of it. Thanks for the reminder, Michael. Time for a little excavation.
