“Aoi: Our motto is: music is music, therefore there should not be any boundaries or intolerance.”

“There are, of course, inherent tendencies to repetition in music itself. Our poetry, our ballads, our songs are full of repetition; nursery rhymes and the little chants and songs we use to teach young children have choruses and refrains. We are attracted to repetition, even as adults; we want the stimulus and the reward again and again, and in music we get it. Perhaps, therefore, we should not be surprised, should not complain if the balance sometimes shifts too far and our musical sensitivity becomes a vulnerability.”

“Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you that music has boundaries. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.”

“The city is builtTo music, therefore never built at all,And therefore built forever.”

“Music is a language - and language, at its finest, should be music.”

“Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries.”
