Quote: "It's a strange thing, but if you have good speakers and play Bach very, very loud--even if it's just a smooth piano piece--it sounds like rock music. Bach's music can be matched to any situation. It's perfect. When you play it in reverse, it sounds almost the same. It's very mathematical. You could play it in the elevator, like Muzak. It blends itself. Bach is the perfect musician for the elevator." Jean-Luc Godard, from an interview with Katherine Dieckmann appended to Locke & Warren (eds), Jean-Luc Godard's 'Hail Mary': Women and the Sacred in Film.
