Ryuichi Sakamoto
Japanese - Composer
Born: January 17, 1952

At a certain point, I started playing improvised music. After a couple of years of this, I did a little bit of analysis and found most improvised music the kind I was listening to at least, which was mainly European to be as, if not more, formulaic than any other kind of music. For example, improvised pieces would often begin and end in the same way.

Kevin Drumm

I am an improviser, ... I improvise music. Whatever you want to call it all, it is all improvised music. I may capture it and go back and write it down for others, but it was originally improvised.

Joe Zawinul

As there are more online archives of improvised music, it becomes more like the daily practice of playing it. It lessens the idea of there being masterpieces of improvised music through benchmark recordings.

David Grubbs

I've always liked the idea of improvised music. Improvised anything. It's what conversation is.

Andy Partridge

What I'm after is a composed music that will sound like improvised music when improvisors play it. You shouldn't be able to tell what parts are being improvised and what parts were written out beforehand; it should sound like the same music.

Roscoe Mitchell

In the U.K., classical music is composed by individuals and written down. Indian music is based on certain sequences called ragas. When I perform live, 95% of the music is improvised: it never sounds the same twice.

Ravi Shankar

A master of improvised speech and improvised policies.

A. J. P. Taylor

I've always loved improvising. That's how I write songs. Creativity has an improvised element to it.

Jamie Lidell

I've always loved improvised movies like Christopher Guest and the 'Spinal Tap' era of comedy.

Matt Walsh

My sister loved country music. My mother loved Spanish music. And my dad was into big band music and jazz.

Hope Sandoval

I actually did a lot of improvised movies or movies that were partially improvised.

Zooey Deschanel

The freedom to be someone else entirely and be different versions of something. That's what I loved and I loved watching movies and I loved watching television, I loved reading books. That kind of escapism into another world was my favorite thing.

Gwendoline Christie

There's an awful lot of resources that can be drawn upon in an improvised music concert.

Fred Frith

When I first started out in this music industry, I was most concerned with freedom. Freedom to produce, freedom to play all the instruments on my records, freedom to say anything I wanted to.

Prince

My dad had these great Benny Goodman albums that I was obsessed with, and Louis Prima's another guy I loved, and Peter Niro the jazz pianist. I loved international music: Irish music, Mexican music. I love the different colours that they all have.

Michael Giacchino

I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all, but when I got home, it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.

Dr. Dre
