021 Darian Thomas - Interdisciplinary Artist

Some of Darian's favorite quotes "I remember wondering whether I was frightened, and deciding that I was not." - George Orwell "A concert is not a sermon. It is a performance - a reincarnation of a series of ideas implicit in the work of art." - Aaron Copland "Be very sensitive to where you are, in what times and in what parts of the world, and how that constitutes the artistic practice." - Olafur Eliasson "An inward singing, and not an inward feeling, prompts a gifted person to compose a musical piece." - Eduard Hanslick "I'm not sure what to do, so I'll just write some love to you." -David Bowie "You see, if you don't take money: they can't tell you what to do, kid. That's the key to the whole thing: Don't. Touch. Money." -Bill Cunningham "If you're writing music for other composers, I think there's something a little bit sad about that..." - Nico Muhly "Bubble/Air: No, see that's what's so great: Now, we can be together: forever, BMO. Every minute of Every Day. No more Privacy. No more Quiet, no more alone. Every room you ever go in, I'll already be there. Waiting. Forever: and ever. Until the End of Time. B-MO: YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!" Air and B-MO season 5 ep. 17 of Adventure Time... "Our differences ARE settled. He's dead, and I ain't." - Eustace Bagge "Parentheses in literature and dentistry are in bad taste." - Mark Twain "To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist." - Robert Schumann "You can never be overdressed or over educated." - Oscar Wilde "Dude, sucking at something is the first step to being sortof good at something." - Jake, the Shapeshifting Dog "Ice King: 'Marriage is a thing that allows me to capture a princess forever and let her live inside of me! ... Marriage is the most Beautiful thing in the world!' Finn: 'Uuuuh.... Yeah I- I never- uhh...Ye- I... Guess it is! O_o' " "You just kissed a Boom Boom baby. So don't expect any more sugar from me Sweetheart until we wash your dirty, dirty face." - Jake the Shapeshifting Dog's Dad "Darian Thomas: violinist, composer, conductor, professor, critic, and consummate troll. " - Aaron Schwarz Today is the tomorrow that you were worried about Yesterday, was it worth it? "[Time] is the mosoleum of all hope and despair." - Faulkner "Give me success or take this desire away from me. One of the two." - Mike Tetreault "The preliminary differentiation of musical categories by means of this reasonable and usable criterion of "degree of determinacy" offends those who take it to be a definition of qualitative categories, which-of course-it need not always be. Curiously, their demurrers usually take the familiar form of some such "democratic" counter definition as: "There is no such thing as 'serious' and 'popular' music." There is only 'good' and 'bad' music." As a public service, let me offer those who still patiently await the revelation of the criteria of Absolute Good an alternative criterion which possesses, at least, the virtue of immediate and irrefutable applicability: "There is no such thing as 'serious' and 'popular' music. There is only music whose title begins with the letter 'X,' and music whose title does not." " - Milton Babbitt
