The Background 4 5

"The lighting is so important.

One thing that makes me nuts about the lighting now is that

they spend an enormous amount of time lighting the set,

the background.

But the most important thing in the scene is

the actor."

Donna Mills

"We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places

with background music.

 No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces,

which represent 30% of our musical experience."

Brian Eno

The Background 1 2 3

"Every philosophy is tinged with the coloring

of some secret imaginative background,

which never emerges explicitly

into its train of reasoning."

Alfred North Whitehead

"I just hope that our fans are people

who are inspired by music,

and just use our music

as a background or inspiration

for whatever it is they do."

Maynard James Keenan

"Man's unique reward, however, is that
while animals survive by
adjusting themselves to their background,
man survives by
adjusting his background to himself."
Ayn Rand
