"I did not start IC and Inteam to have control over my music. I had control before and after"
- Klaus Schulze
About this Quote
Klaus Schulze's quote is a reflection on his experience with the music market. He is saying that he did not create his record labels, IC and Inteam, to gain control over his music. He already had control over his music before and after creating the labels. This suggests that he was not encouraged by a desire for control, but rather by a desire to produce a platform for his music to be heard. He wanted to develop a space where he might share his music with the world, and he was successful in doing so. His quote is a pointer that control is not constantly the primary inspiration for developing something. In some cases, it is simply about producing something that can be shared and enjoyed by others.
"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away"
"Jazz vision is the fusion of music and art a real paradox of same-yet different. Here we play in exchanges, like the hardness of the key of c# major and from the softness of Db major - capturing, reflecting and improvising"
"We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it"
