Music Quote by Ryuichi Sakamoto

“Music is like nuclear plants. In a way, it's true! Music is totally artificial. Still using some material from nature, a piano is assembled with wood and iron. Nuclear power uses material from nature, but it's been manipulated by humans, and it produces something unnatural.” quote by Ryuichi Sakamoto — Download Open image
