"There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at its flood, leads on to fortune". -𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they’re deciding, make even more art.” -𝗔𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗹

"I think music is already there, in the ether. It's just a matter of tapping into it and letting it flow through you. I don't think you create music; you discover it." -𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." -Michelangelo

"When you work across styles, tempos, moods, and structures, you can’t rely on muscle memory or genre clichés, so you’re constantly testing what actually makes music work—tension, release, density, silence, contrast, narrative flow. Patterns that survive across many different songs reveal themselves as fundamentals, while shortcuts fall away. This kind of variation accelerates learning because it builds transferable intuition rather than style-specific tricks, and that intuition deepens much faster than repeating one sound until it’s polished."

"There's a bell curve to recording a new song. There's a point where you're going to get diminishing returns on your time and effort. You can spend a lot of time and money trying to get it perfect, but you're not going to get a lot more out of it. The difference between a good recording and a great recording is usually pretty small. It's not like you can spend a few more weeks in the studio and suddenly have a masterpiece. There's a point where you have to say, 'This is good enough.' If you keep going, you're just going to start to lose perspective. You're going to start to nitpick and get bogged down in details that don't really matter. You can't just keep working on a song forever." -Steve Albini
