Dialogue, contrary to popular view, is not a recording of actual speech it is a semblance of speech, an invented language of exchanges that build in tempo or content toward climaxes.
Sol Stein
Image
Jazz goes into folk music, into rock music. Jazz is in practically everything except classical music where they're reading the same music all the time, the same way, the same tempo every night.
Van Morrison
Image
Someone who only wants to play sold-out shows will find a tempo that works at the shows and then focus on making that kind of music, but maybe they'll miss out on other things because of it.
Vince Staples
Image
Sometimes I'll have a whole song done without having a beat - I'll just rap on an instrumental tempo and recreate a whole new song just around the lyrics.
Tyga
Image
The difference between a gun and a tree is a difference of tempo. The tree explodes every spring.
Ezra Pound
Image
No, what is important is neither linearity or non-linearity, but the change, the degree of change from something that doesn't move to other events with different tempos in particular.
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Image
Suddenly I was in the right tempo - but it wasn't.
Eugene Ormandy
Image
A great piece of music is beautiful regardless of how it is performed. Any prelude or fugue of Bach can be played at any tempo, with or without rhythmic nuances, and it will still be great music. That's how music should be written, so that no-one, no matter how philistine, can ruin it.
Dmitri Shostakovich
Image
Since I started composing I have always worked with series of tempos, even superimposed the music of different groups of musicians, of singers, instrumentalists who play and sing in different tempos simultaneously and then meet every now and then in the same tempo.
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Image
I would describe my style for those who haven't listened to my music as definitely..up-tempo. I try to have something nice, something people could dance to. It's kind of hard though to describe my sound in one record because I think when I approach music I try to do something different every day. Do a different vibe.
Kid Ink

I mean that's something we're very conscious of when writing. Tempos are very important. Like Oh we can't play the song too fast because people aren't going to feel it. There's a pulse to a song. You can't play it too slow. We're always trying to find the perfect tempo.
Tony Palermo
Image
We feel that the 2-2-1 press is a very effective means of controlling tempo and providing us with opportunities to capitalize on the mistakes of our opponents. At the same time we feel it is a very safe press because we work very hard at the necessary rotations.
Jim Calhoun

What separates great jazz musicians from average ones is Taste. Those who have taste consistently choose notes, tempos, timbres and voicings that seduce and satisfy attentive listeners.
Marc Myers
Image
I don't want no drummer. I set the tempo.
Bessie Smith
Image
Sometimes melody and sometimes lyrics. It depends on the tempo and feel of the song. Slower pieces usually begin with melody and faster ones with lyrics. I write for the song and it leads me to my conclusion.
Ronnie James Dio
Image
Hip hop dancing is more like choreography and it's more made up and you have to learn it. This, this Krump and Clowning you can't learn, it's just in you, the music moves you, you know. It's raw and organic, you know, it's like whatever comes out of you, you make it up tempo with the rhythm, you know, and it just comes out.
Tommy the Clown
Image
At best Americans give but a limited attention to history. Too much happens too rapidly, and before we can evaluate it, or exhaust its meaning or pleasure, there is something new to concern us. Ours is the tempo of the motion picture, not that of the still camera, and we waste experience as we wasted the forest.
Ralph Ellison
Image
There are so many similarities between a startup venture and a political campaign - the rhythm, the tempo, the hours, the intensity.
Mike McCurry
Image
His life rushes onward in such torrential rhythm that...only angels and devils can catch the tempo of it.
Anais Nin
Image
The human brain is a funny thing: it's very susceptible to tempo and melody. You put the right words to it, and it becomes very influential.
Ray Stevens
Image
You had to keep the mood up you had to keep the tempo up. You had to keep the feeling of, Hey, we're doing something that's really exciting. It's fun being with these people. And the more fun you have, the better you do it.
Bill Murray
Image
I hope my recordings of my own works won't inhibit other people's performances. The brutal fact is that one doesn't always get the exact tempo one wants, although one improves with experience.
Aaron Copland
Image
In this disintegrative, technologically-manic time, when public language is so debased, poetry continues to matter because it's the art that reintegrates words, speech, voice, breath, music, bodily tempo, and the powers of the imagination.
Adrienne Rich
Image
Some musicians play with their heart, you know what I mean? I don't know what to tell a person that can't - if you can't tell a person what you're talkin' about when they're rushin' or droppin' the tempo, you get somebody else.
Miles Davis
