Now anybody can make music at home, and you can hear music on any computer without having to buy it. Everything is apparently better with all the machines we have now, but at the same time, the quality of life is not improving.

I think what really stays with me is the idea that you can write music about the texture of a wall, and everything is in some way connected.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Music can reflect even the simplest aspects of life, showing the interconnectedness of all things.
Ludovico Einaudi expresses that the essence of creativity lies in the ability to find inspiration in everyday objects and experiences, such as the texture of a wall. This suggests that everything in existence is interlinked, and artists can draw connections between seemingly mundane elements and profound artistic expression.

All quotes βAfter years of doing composition, the risk is always that you might start to repeat and be cliche. Every time, I try find a way to be reborn again as an artist. Its not easy to reinvent yourself every time, as it takes a lot of creative energy, but I am happy to do it.

The drama's altar isn't on the stage: it is candle-sticked and flowered in the box office. There is the gold, though there be no frankincense or myrrh; and the gospel for the day always The Play will Run for a Year. The Dove of Inspiration, of the desire for inspiration, has flown away from it; and on it's roof, now, the commonplace crow caws candidly.
