.. and I’m glad to introduce you: Sir Oliver Lodge
Drifting away
And now I even forget my own tracks … this has come back after drifting away.
Refractions
Sometimes I feel like a RockStar … I know! It must be a Guitar Refraction … this happens when I’m suddenly inspired.
InvisAbility
Remaining INVISIBLE is an ART today, but it’s not so difficult … we can learn from nature how it works.
This track is dedicated to my invisible friend Antares and his (un)natural chaotic disappearing.
Sweet tree
No words for this one … just my subconscious playing …
Distant Sounds
… or DISTANT GALAXIES
A painter is lost if he finds himself.
That’s wonderful, said by an octogenarian artist.
MAX ERNST
Naissance d’une galaxie (Birth of a galaxy) was created in the year of the first moon landing. Man had conquered the lunar symbol of the yearnings of Romanticism (a cultural epoch so important for Ernst) and found only empty, rocky silence. As if by way of a replacement, Ernst allows a new galaxy, its circular disc patterned with dots, to arise out of the nebula of primeval forms inhabiting the lower border of the picture. This galaxy is located in the imagination – and in the picture seen here. Entirely in keeping with Ernst’s fantastical natural history, the eternal, ethereal realm and the here and now of artistic invention converge in the moment of this picture.
Ectoplasm
There’s no prove about the existence of ECTOPLASM, but there’s no doubt about the creative mind of some magicians. So any creative product of our mind is really an Ectoplasm! Or not?
I wonder how this girl was able to obtain such an effect in 1912 …
waterhouse
Sometimes a track takes me into other worlds of inspiration.
This one suddenly came to me in a rainy day,
and I’ve played my guitar in a bunch of minutes
(then of course I’ve adjusted sounds and drums) … Just LIKE WATER!
So the title for this track was “Like Water”.
Working at the track image, I was thinking of
my abandoned guitar (days and days since I don’t play it)
and of my lack of ideas, and my sensation of coming old like those leaves.
That guitar in the artwork seemed to me like a House …
a house for water (rain).
That’s why I’ve changed my idea and I’ve titled it WATER HOUSE.
The image reminded me a portrait of the shakespearian Ophelia ……
I’ve tried with Google looking for Ophelia, and with my great surprise
I’ve found WATERHOUSE!
(though the Ophelia’s portrait in the water is by J. E. Millais).
Really, my friends, this is what I call INSPIRATION!
And I still don’t know where it comes from …. I suspect from water.
I hope you appreciate Waterhouse, Millais,
… and my guitar too!
