Sometimes it seems inevitable to get stuck watching you tube videos of strange music. like this one which plays incredibly nice but strange music for organ. Amazing. It's by Daniel Glaus, an interesting composer and researcher. Though what i really miss is the lamento of Kurtag, the one for the strings. (post it if you've got it and let me know!) Amazing again. But now i found this video who's insane but thoroughly charming and important. This is a research project exploring the possibilities to expand the sound qualities of the traditional organ into an even wider world of sounds. People who think like that, so they are able to expand reality and add stuff that aren't already there is definitively valuable people.
What is the purpose of life beyond just making a living? making an even better living, perhaps. Or, is it so that the moment we've covered our basic needs we tend to go for something that creates ecstasies? Be it sexual, foodish, knowledge, research, music, arts, physical etc? Today I concluded that this must be something of a good way to see things. Then I arrived at my internet and i saw this unusual video containing some long artsy/musical performance by sarah small (really she's an interesting artist, check out her artist bio video which i found genuinely interesting, all though i can say that her stills more appeal to me than the tableau vivant.) The Introduction to her work being the 120 Model Tableau Vivant - Skylight One Hanson (see this unusual video mentioned above) actually repulsed me, i thought of it nonsense, mostly because i failed at knowing how to react to it. But i certainly reacted in plural manners. But seeing it forced me to reconsider my todays solution to the meaning of life. Ecstasies is actually a very tiresome state of being, and we can't always be there.
Also to consider is the privacy of ecstasies. I guess the people partaking found this interesting and even possibly ecstatic in some way or another. But i found it to private to be interested. Also i found the use of music rather dull and not very profound, so it all became a bit of an cliché to me. But as a ceremony for the newly-weds i believe it was a strange experience they might have enjoyed if they were people with that kind of interest.
But else but this video (the unusual one) i recommend hartfully to check out Sarah Smalls photography portifolio (and the rest of her artistry of course!
I wanted to put some photo by her in this post, but i don't dare, it feels a bit wrong.
(Apologies for the insanely long and tedious text that almost is not a text at all but still kind of promotes exciting experiences and an explorative attitude, i hope. )
