Pleasure is the Law
June 9th, 2008 by yuriCome end of this month, I embark once more on an academic journey; I begin my specialist course in the areas of film scoring, sound design and more.
Ironically, what seems to be a guiding thought for this segment of my life is this quotation by Claude Debussy:
“There is no theory. You have only to listen. Pleasure is the law. I love music passionately. And because l love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it. It is a free art gushing forth, an open-air art boundless as the elements, the wind, the sky, the sea. It must never be shut in and become an academic art.”
Well said, Claude. Wish me luck.

Let’s just say you’re off to learn the rules first before you break/bend them in your own inimitable way.
All the best, Yuri!
