When you make music, you're forming these invisible vibrations in the air into different shapes and consistencies and speeds in order to create music, and understanding how the math of that works just gives you more colors to paint with, and allows you to get to what you want quicker.
Interpretation
Music is a complex art form that uses vibrations to express creativity, and understanding its structure enhances artistic expression.
This quote by Flea emphasizes the intricate relationship between mathematics and music. He suggests that by understanding the mathematical principles that underlie musical creation, one can enhance their creativity and achieve their artistic goals more efficiently. The metaphor of 'colors to paint with' indicates that this knowledge expands the musician's toolkit, allowing for more nuanced and varied expression in their music.
In practice
During a music workshop, this quote can inspire participants to appreciate the mathematical aspects of music creation.
We are all affected by Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, and Mies van der Rohe. But no less than Bramante, Borromini, and Bernini. Architecture is a tradition, a long continuum. Whether we break with tradition or enhance it, we are still connected to that past. We evolve.
Her beauty climbed the rolling slope, it came into the room, rustling ghost-like through the curtains.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.
Profoundness, genius, spontaneity, merit, nobility, ingenuity, voice propriety, feeling, discernment, sensibility, good taste, great tone, rightness, courtliness, vivacity, boldness, style, freshness, harmony, perfection, imagination, purity, correctness. The greatest writer of all times. God's most astonishing creation.
Art has nothing to do with clarity, does not dabble in the clear and does not make clear
Like a mermaid in sea-weed, she dreams awake, trembling in her soft and chilly nest.
