“I guess I'd like people to be able to forget a lot of things and just ...” — Caroline Shaw Quote

I guess I'd like people to be able to forget a lot of things and just enjoy the beauty of harmony and melody for a moment.

I don't really call myself a composer.

I've been gearing up for this future of writing a lot of new music by digging into my favorite old stuff, and twisting it around and highlighting the things I really love.

I played a lot of Bach's partitas and sonatas; I like the way that Bach was abstracting already from these dance forms.

I was curious about experimenting with different colors - kind of like having an expanded orchestra. Suddenly, instead of just writing for strings, you can add bassoon and oboe and brass. I like these extreme differences in sounds right next to each other.

Harmony Korine is a Rocket Scientist who purposely went on a 8-year vacation to let everyone catch up.

People would call me up because they liked my voice, and they wanted some kind of vocal harmony. Sometimes I was asked to come in and sing all the harmony parts, and sometimes I would sing with other people.

It's very good for one's brain and muscular system to work in harmony. If you keep up your playing it just keeps things ticking over.

I think it was definitely a love for the four- or five-part vocal male harmony groups that really took me away. I'd always try and be, like, the fifth Drifter; I'd always try and find another harmony that wasn't there.
