Geoffrey O'Brien Quotes

Scattered Among These Things Are Reminders That Sound Once Existed: A Metronome, A Drumming Pad, A Guitar Pick, A Trumpet Mouthpiece, A Music Stand, A Tuning Fork, A Block Of Rosin ... The Older Instruments Bear The Marks Of Those Who Have Already Played Them, The Scuffs And Bites And Dents That Are The Mysterious Scars Of Sound. In Their Midst The House Hangs, Tenuous And Enveloping, A Sounding Board Waiting To Be Struck.
