I'm not afraid of the crisis, I think everybody should take it as a chance to think about what our society has became. I think the one that really got the point is Serge Latouche, whose philosophy I dig and support. We don't need a lot of what we think we need. My mom said my ecologic laundry soap is shit because it doesn't smell of rose, that I have to use a specific soap for black clothes. Really? Are we still in the '50s? People has to understand commercials have convinced us we need a lot of stuff we don't really need. My clothes are clean and as black as before even if I use one single soap. Life is much less expensive when you buy only what you need, sometimes a little gift for yourself. My biggest expense right now are the piano lessons, and I'm glad to pay for something I like to do, especially when it's inspiring and it expands my knowledge. Music is wonderful and I think every child should be allowed to know it. I'd love to take german lessons, I like languages.
After Chrismas I went to visit Bern, Fribourg and Gruyéres, I was a happy girl inside the Giger museum!
My New Years Eve was spent in Munich, loved the beer, loved the sausages!
2012 has started off with quite interesting things, projects and pictures.
Let's start with my personal projects: The Dark Spark. It will be a magazine. I'm doing a comic for it, "Green Drapes", and I wrote a little thing, "At Dusk". The cover will be handmade by me, the pencilwork "A Pregnant Owlet".
"The Gospel according to All" is an experimental novel me and my boyfriend are developing, I would call it "multimedial". I'm trying to picture the first chapter in my head.
I'm still working on Imago Vocis, yesterday I realized I need to put in some thrilling elements, like, mysteries and some complex situations that would force the reader to think, challenging.
Let's talk about discoveries now. I'm listening to lots of new music, trying to find something I like, something inspiring. But I always fall on Tori's live recordings. I'm loving this Iieee from Sessions at West 54, 1998, which is in my humble opinion her best live performance to date.
But I'm exploring classical music (Alkan, Bartok, Hamelin), heavy metal classics, folk, Kate Bush, Kevin Moore, Leila Arab, Hans Zimmer, Angelo Badalamenti, brought back The Cranberries, Abney Park, Adele, Dead can Dance, random unknown violin players, I'm really enjoying Nightwish's new Imaginaerum (something fresh after a disc of tiresome, stale and dull stuff), Seal, Deep Purple and Bette Midler. I'm diving in the endless world of old classics.
Just yesterday I discovered this polish photographer called Laura Makabresku. I'm enjoying her pictures so much, I find them truly inspiring. http://lauramakabresku.blogspot.com/
