This Complex World
As the pace and complexity of this world picks up more & more, the need for simplicity, calm, and tranquility picks up right along with it. Artists, musicians, creative people have never been more needed. Every moment spent looking at a beautiful painting, or listening to inspiring music is a moment that helps bring balance to society's trend towards over-mentalization and over-stimulation. The movie Koyaanisqatsi(means life out of balance) which came out in 1982, was visionary and spoke directly to this issue - and that was 1982! It's wonderful to see all the beautiful art work that's being produced (especially you, dear readers),and artists, please know you were never more needed than you are today.

I haven't see the movie that you mention in your post, but I'm in total agreement with what you write. I like the idea that we artists are needed in this era as in any other, maybe more so now.
ReplyDeleteYour music is stunning and I wish you every success, in the way that it means the most to you.
Thank you! I guess that "success" would be that others are benefiting from hearing my music!
