More quotes by Zach Condon
I do feel like my music, in some weird way, is probably better suited for cinema than for anything else - I can't really explain, other than I think that music has been mostly inspired often by soundtracks.
Zach Condon
I think that sonically, music speaks volumes more than words do, and I have always thought that and will continue to think that for the rest of my life.
Zach Condon
In the age of the mp3, you gotta make the package special, something that's worth owning.
Zach Condon
I think, if I had my choice, I would spend all my time in the studio writing, and creating music.
Zach Condon
I'm not an amazing trumpet player. It's mostly smoke and mirrors. You shake the trumpet and it starts to vibrate in a ridiculous drunken way, or you flop notes at the right time and you don't have to play stuff that would take seven years to learn.
Zach Condon
I love the community and the entertainment too much. I'm used to it - it's what I saw first.
Zach Condon
I think that within the world of music that we work in, which is so not perfect, I think that you really do have to learn to accept your own mistakes as part of the beauty of music itself.

My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player.
Zach Condon
I could probably spend the next five years reworking an album from ten years ago, if given the chance, to make it better - make it best, so to speak.

Raucous drunken trumpets and instrumentation tend to guide the way you think. They can give you a path to follow lyrically.
Zach Condon
When a city is unstimulating, you get pretty isolated.
Zach Condon
I feel like I've met most people I look up to musically. I just want to meet Chef.
Zach Condon
It feels much more natural to move forward and grow with the instruments I've grown accustomed to. Piano, accordion, brass, ukulele.

It's a weird thing to be nineteen and be in the public eye. It was a crazy thing, it was a big deal to me, and it changed me in a lot of ways. And now that it's five, six years later, I wanted to look back at that, the start of it all, the excitement and the naïveté about it, and it just fascinated me to reflect on all that.
Zach Condon
I write one step at a time, always finishing off the part I'm working on before even thinking about the next part. I need to hear it all together before deciding what goes next. I even mix before moving on...in other words, I write by recording.
Zach Condon
It was funny to just take a backseat and be like, 'Wow, I might be in this crazy place, but maybe I don't need to understand everything, maybe I don't need to be someone else.'

I dropped out of high school and I tried to go to community college for a little while. I can't be a student. I always hated that lifestyle.
Zach Condon
I was a very good student until about sophomore year, and that's when I just became so disillusioned with the whole thing that I just became an awful student. I was still making good grades. But I was cutting class three days a week and faking papers that I got off the internet.
Zach Condon
I can't work in Brooklyn. Unless I'm completely locked away in a studio, there's just too much distraction and stimulation.
Zach Condon
My thought with harmonies and melodies in general, is that if it doesn't come right away then it's never going to come at all.
