Who Is Your Favorite (awakened) Artist?

Khalil Gibran

Read it in Bulgarian and I cant find my favourite quotes but that is good http://leb.net/gibran/

My house says to me, "Do not leave me, for here dwells your past." 
And the road says to me, "Come and follow me, for I am your future." 
And I say to both my house and the road, "I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death will change all things."

Pablo Neruda.... one of my favourite poets.  

 

“Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.” 
― Pablo Neruda

Do you admire any artist? 

Mine is Marina Abramović...

 

Wow, I'm an artist, too many to pick just one in multiple mediums.   I tend to actually express myself in combinations of film clips and music, so its a minute by minute thing.

 

I adore absurdists, so

I guess the prevailing musical theme would evolve from...

[Binary Encoded Sunset]

 

This band was one of the biggest influences on my own music. I didn't understand it fully but it just clicked with me as a kid - I had no idea how significant the lyrics would be until discovering actualized.org. I felt a great affinity with the "singer" & strangely enough recently discovered we share the same birthday!

 

 

After finding real peace through meditation - I lost my attachment to heavy music & genuinely wondered if I should continue with it at all. It was like my rock as a youth. I dedicated my life to it! I still have an album ready to roll so I spent a while re-establishing an acceptance of excitement. I began to genuinely question if it was healthy & wholesome to propagate extreme music - something I would never have dreamed of questioning & at some point it looked pretty bleak but I eventually came full circle. Life itself is a kind of art. Art is wonderful. Music is pure vibration & well - what better way of turning base metal into gold, inviting people to face their fears or shine light on a little darkness with a tongue-in-cheek & often provocative art form? Or in other cases, to share great messages with those who might need it. It seemed senseless to abandon a skill I've become proficient in - in the name of attachment to formlessness. (Although I've been developing a greater appreciation of jazz - classical & particularly shakuhachi flute music as of late!). Silence I'm a fan of too - although silence is not really a thing.

@Binary Encoded Sunset  that's great, I like also some heavy and dark music. I listen it from time to time but not as frequently as before. I think is like opening your eyes to other music you didn't listen before and appreciate it as well. Good for you.
