I find above all that the expression, ‘atonal music’, is most unfortunate - it is on a par with calling flying ‘the art of not falling’, or swimming ‘the art of not drowning’.

It’s getting harder and harder, because the capitalist world is intent upon selling us idiotic products, and telling us we are free to choose. Now, freedom isn’t like that. You bang a man on the head ten times, and say ‘Shall I hit you again?’ There is not really much freedom to answer.
Brian Ferneyhough

Kunst ist der Notschrei jener, die an sich das Schicksal der Menschheit erleben. Die nicht mit ihm sich abfinden, sondern sich mit ihm auseinandersetzen. Die nicht stumpf den Motor ›dunkle Mächte‹ bedienen, sondern sich ins laufende Rad stürzen, um die Konstruktion zu begreifen.

(Art is the outcry of those who experience the fate of humanity. Those who do not accept it, but look into it. Those who do not blindly operate the engine of ›dark forces‹, but throw themselves into the spinning wheel to understand its construction.)

Arnold Schoenberg
