I still feel very much an imposter in the whole music scene, which I'm quite happy about to be honest.
It feels so great to be back on the scene.
The New York gallery scene being as incredibly overpopulated and overmoneyed as it is, deep conflicts and contradictions aren't hard to find.
Doing a scene is like opening a bottle. If it doesn't open one way, try another - perhaps even give it up for another bottle?
It is no use describing a house; the reader will fix the scene in some spot he knows himself.
Is the scene always visual? It can be aural, the frame can be linguistic: I can fall in love with a sentence spoken to me: and not only because it says something which manages to touch my desire, but because of its syntactical turn (framing), which will inhabit me like a memory.
I like what's going on in Finland, with the rebirth of Beherit. I also like a band called Oranssi Pazuzu and a band called Spiderpact. There's a great scene there where they don't really care what's going on elsewhere and create music in their own vacuum.
In films of terror, it's often not about being graphic. Or if there is a graphic image, it's extremely swift. Everyone talks about the shower scene in 'Psycho,' but that's the only graphic scene in the entire film.
I tell students they will know they are getting somewhere when a scene is so painful they can just barely bring themselves to write about it. A writer has to draw blood.
Actually, one Anthem cue is a good example of the process. There is a four-minute sequence of music in Anthem, which underscores a prison sequence, and it lines up with five different, smaller scenes within one large scene.
……, but as I am a scholar I feel obliged to document what it is like here, most of the time, between the dramatic climaxes. In truth it is like this: You cannot imagine how time can be so still. It hangs. It weighs, and yet there is so little of it. It goes so slowly and it is so scarce. If I was writing this scene it would last a full 15 minutes. I would lie here and you would sit there.
As we passed on, it seemed those scenes of visionary enchantment would never have an end.
If life is envisioned as a continuously running motion picture, the keeping of a notebook stops the action and allows a meaningful scene to be explored frame by frame.
The first set I remember was 'Ghostbusters. ' It was a scene in which the street erupted. I remember even at seven years old thinking, 'Wow, if you direct a movie, you can break the streets of New York. '
I'm not a selfish actor. I believe that it's a team effort. You're not in a scene by yourself.
A lot of times in my short fiction there isn't much dramatized scene - there are a lot of short, interconnected bits, snippets of conversation, continual action, and so on. I frequently rely pretty heavily on voice.
The American underground punk scene, though, is a story worth remembering.
I love any scene where there's a physical confrontation. It reminds me that I'm in show business and I play pretend for a living.
Whats more awkward than doing a shower scene? Rehearsing a shower scene.
It's the only thing that keeps me going these days, travelling. Changes of scene, changes of faces
