Music helped my time of working very much. You have to think about each note 
to manage to listen. In the meantime there is a listening coming from your 
body, too. Ancient Egyptians said that every part of the body thinks; I 
would rather say that every part of the body "listens". I often quote 
Hermann Broch's definition of the origin of painting. Unlike Greek-Roman 
tradition, according to which painting was born in Corinth, from the drawing 
that the girl of the potter sketched on the wall, by candlelight, following 
the silhouette of her beloved, Broch maintained that pictorial image was 
born from music: the rhythm of a primitive piece of music became the form of 
a tattoo, a sort of dance represented on the body. Till one day the tattoo 
emancipated itself from the body, it became a representation and painting 
had its origins. There is a particular moment during which the drawing 
becomes "real" and it is at that moment that we are freed from ourselves and 
throw away words and definitions of things. In drawing nature, things, the 
"figure", the object of the drawing changes and our intuition becomes the 
subject. Perhaps this is the ecstasy of ART.

from "Valerio Adami and the pictorial sound" by Matteo Milani
