Many have described the essence of music as representing internal emotional states that cannot be put into words. Every musician knows this. The big question, the big mystery, is how to achieve this transfer of energy, how to translate your feelings into sounding movements and actions, and how these forms communicate so powerfully and precisely the original feelings. This process is, at least in part, what we mean by “Spirit into Sound.” - Mickey Hart

Rock ’n’ roll is like a drug. I don’t take very much rock ’n’ roll, but when I do rock ’n’ roll, I fuckin’ do it. But I don’t want to do it all the time ’cause it’ll kill me. When you’re singing and playing rock ’n’ roll, you’re on the leading edge of yourself. You’re tryin’ to vibrate, tryin’ to make something happen. It’s like there’s somethin’ alive and exposed.
—Neil Young

Think NOTHING
Wait until it is absolutely still
within you
When you have attained this
Begin to play
As soon as you start to think
STOP.
And try to retain
The state of NON-THINKING
Then continue playing.
—Karlheinz Stockhausen

Music is the answer to the mystery of life.
The most profound of all the arts,
it expresses the deepest thoughts of life.
—Arthur Schopenhauer

You know, there’s this place where a river runs into an ocean and the fresh water and the salt water all get mixed in together. And that’s what America is all about, and that’s what American music is about, and that’s what rock ’n’ roll is about. It actually wasn’t invented by anybody, and it’s not just black and white, either. It’s Mexican and Appalachian and Gaelic and everything that’s come floating down the river.
—T-Bone Burnett
