Zorn's words of wisdom



“Your music is like your child, and your child is not you, it goes out there and makes its own life, it becomes its own thing, and you can't control or influence that.. Some people feel like their children have to become what THEY want them to be, become an extension of their own ego and if they becomes something different they feel like they're dissed or something. It's the same with music. A composition or a piece of film or anything after its finished begins its own life. It's only the finished product of your creativity and you don't have to identify with it more than that.

- John Zorn
