Only relatively recently in our own culture, five hundred years or so ago, did a distinction arise that cut society in two, forming separate classes of music performers and music listeners. Throughout most of the world and for most of human history, music making was as natural an activity as breathing and walking, and everyone participated. Concert halls, dedicated to the performance of music, arose only in the last several centuries. New Arrivals!

Zimmer and Myers’ movie work of the period, which included material for pictures including Moonlighting, Success Is the Best Revenge, Insignificance, and the acclaimed My Beautiful Laundrette, made significant strides in fusing the traditional orchestral aesthetic of film composition with state- of- the- art electronics, and proved highly influential on countless soundtracks to follow.

A painting, a sculpture or a photograph can physically exist, while music is just air hitting the eardrum in a slightly different way than it would randomly. If you were a space alien trying to define music- you would define it as humans manipulating the way in which air molecules hit someone’s eardrum. Somehow that air- which has almost no substance whatsoever- when moved and when made to hit the eardrum in tiny subtle ways- can make people dance, cry, have sex, move across country, go to war and more. It’s remarkable that something so subtle can illicit profound emotional reactions in people.! As you are speaking to a German in English here, I am trying to make sense of words- but there’s a whole bunch of things I can’t express in any language. I’m not Shakespeare or Goethe, so I have to resort to notes. Sometimes with two little notes, I can hit an emotional target with more precision than could ever be possible with words. For me, the operative word in music is play. I’ve never been very good at . I went into a room with a bunch of musicians- we sat down and we just started playing, we didn’t even need to speak with each other. That level of communication, trust and friendship is phenomenal. It’s one of the most special things in my life, and I feel that anyone who can’t have experiences like that may be living a less fulfilling life. I won’t be giving it up anytime soon! Q: What is the role of music in our experience of being human? We are alive for a few decades in a universe that is 1. We define ourselves as having a fixed age of 3. Music provides us with a strange self- generated celebration of the human condition in the face of a universe that is ancient and vast beyond our understanding. If you look at the history of music- way back- you will find things like the Balinese monkey chants. It starts out as a bunch of monkeys yammering in a forest, and turns into a chant. If you go to any rave, or any football event, you will find people chanting in a rhythm- human beings do that. We have this sense to participate and organise- this is music at its most crude form. We then go to something more sublime like the second movement of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto– you can’t fail to be moved by it! Music lets you rediscover your humanity, and your connection to humanity.
