Famous quotes by Pierre Schaeffer:

"[This] is still nothing compared to where we're going."

"We are just beginning to unleash the true potential of what digital photography can provide for consumers."

"With every technology, once you get past the first chapter, you have an explosion of consumption."

"We're unveiling the next innovations in consumer digital photography that will allow people to take, share and archive pictures in ways they never thought possible."

"Kodak continues to innovate to make the complex simple - delivering new technologies that enrich the consumer experience. Today we're unveiling the next innovations in consumer digital photography that will allow people to take, share and archive pictures in ways they never thought possible."

"By the end of the decade, more things (about) taking pictures will be connected than will not be."

"If you liked what happened in the first phase, wait until you see what the second phase will unveil."

"Digital unleashed the potential of music. And the same thing is about to happen with digital photography."

"Noises have generally been thought of as indistinct, but this is not true."

"The world changes materially. Science makes advances in technology and understanding. But the world of humanity doesn't change."

"Sound is the vocabulary of nature."

"I'm very aware of what you're talking about as I was involved with the radio in Africa in the same period as I was doing Concrete - I was doing both at the same time."

"First, it doesn't surprise me that traditional music has experienced a kind of exhaustion in the 20th century - not forgetting that many musicians started to look outside the traditional structures of tonality."

"People who share the same language, French or Chinese or whatever, have the same vocal cords and emit sounds which are basically the same, as they come from the same throats and lungs."

"The impressionists, Debussy, Faure, in France, did take a few steps forward."

"It's ridiculous that time and time again we need a radioactive cloud coming out of a nuclear power-station to remind us that atomic energy is extraordinarily dangerous."

"Morally, the world is both better and worse than it was. We are worse off than in the middle ages, or the 17th and 18th centuries, in that we have the atomic menace."

"Has it struck you that the music which is regarded as the most sublime in western civilization, which is the music of Bach, is called baroque?"

"Take a sound from whatever source, a note on a violin, a scream, a moan, a creaking door, and there is always this symmetry between the sound basis, which is complex and has numerous characteristics which emerge through a process of comparison within our perception."

"In contrast, traditional classical music starts from an abstract musical schema. This is then notated and only expressed in concrete sound as a last stage, when it is performed."
