Eric Kandel Quotes

I've always really liked the rhythm element of songs.

What came to me as a revelation was the use of rhythm in developing an overall structure in music.

In music, four is the number that every measure is - four by four, four beats to every measure. The number four is a sense of completion, almost.

I can't hear rhythm.

Time is the main subject for any musicians, music writers, composers.

Music is...the coordination between man and time.

Rhythm is one of the most powerful of pleasures, and when we feel a pleasurable rhythm we hope it will continue. When it does, it grows sweeter.

There is music wherever there is rhythm, as there is life wherever there beats a pulse.

Rhythm is the pulse of music.

A melody without the right rhythm hardly exists.

Rhythm is sound in motion. It is related to the pulse, the heartbeat, the way we breathe. It rises and falls. It takes us into ourselves; it takes us out of ourselves.

Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous.

Music is organized sound.

A lot of music is mathematics. It's balance.

There's a certain kind of motion and pacing that our music has, and this just doesn't have that. We just kind of rushed to the conclusion of most of the songs. I just would've preferred to done them over.

Rhythm is God. I think, without rhythm, you can't create - there is no art.

It varies from song to song, but melody was always easy for me.

'Spellbound' has a lot of guitar playing on it, obviously, but I wanted to keep it with a more straightforward beat. It doesn't have so many stops and things like that. Whereas if you listen to 'Majestic 12,' that's like a little symphony.

Songs are easy to remember because they have rhythm and music.

Music always has to do with vibrations for me. I love to record everyone's heartbeats, in way. None of us beats at the same pace and a song is a magical moment where different entities, for a split second, meet up.

The only form of music is melody, without melody music is not feasible, and music and melody are quite inseparable.

At its heart, music is all higher mathematics.

I conduct faster so you can see my beat.

I was a little worried that the familiarity would be a little weird, but I think for me everything is musical in my life. For me, timing is a rhythm.

Music is pleasing not only because of the sound but because of the silence that is in it: without the alternation of sound and silence there would be no rhythm.
