I spent most of the year in the studio for electronic music at a radio station in Cologne or in other studios where I produced new works with all kinds of electronic apparatus.

I'm an adventurer. I like invention, I like discovery.

Being quiet and meditating on sound is something completely different and will be discovered very soon by a lot of people who feel that the visual world doesn't reach their soul anymore.

The September 11 attacks were the greatest work of art in the cosmos...compared to that, we composers are nothing

Repetition is based on body rhythms, so we identify with the heartbeat, or with walking, or with breathing.

We are no longer the same after hearing certain sounds, and this is more the case when we hear organized sounds, sounds organized by another human being: music.

I became aware that all sounds can make meaningful language.

In particular what is most important to me is the transformation of a sound by slowing it down, sometimes extremely, so that the inner of sound becomes a conceivable rhythm.

Music is mathematics, the mathematics of listening, mathematics for the ears.

I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.

She wants to go home, but nobody's home. That's why she lies, broken inside. With no place to go, no place to go, to dry her eyes, broken inside.

Philosophy seems to me on the whole a rather hopeless business.

It will not be possible to rule out the supposition that the process of evolution may be guided by an intelligent design.

If you evolve within you, there will be no pride, no prejudice. You will perform action out of pure, absolute sense.

If we communicated with something like music, we would never be misunderstood, because there is nothing in music to understand.

Hindu-Muslim unity, khaddar and removal of untouchability are to me the foundation of Swaraj.

After college, rather than pursue real work, I joined a folk group and sang in coffee houses and nightclubs, an occupation that does little for the intellect and even less for the complexion.

To say that they are the enemy of the people, among the worst human beings on earth, it encourages and legitimizes an anger towards the press that, you know, I think, fosters this attitude.
