@[Cosmicboy] have you by chance heard the work, I was drawn by the video, clouds and sky, the fluffy white and the light blue bring many things to my mind.
He produces beautiful work, slowly changing even though he's hyper-productive with some drops in quality.
 
Freccia, my mixed cat, is always glued to me; she wants me to go to bed with her, then she lies next to my face and breathes my breath—a strange thing (we’ve built a very strong and internal mutual trust, I wouldn't say it developed on its own, let’s say), but beautiful. Her whiskers and eyebrows seem to fit perfectly into my skin pores; I think she’s transmitting something to me, I believe it’s a little at the end, but she’s like a shaman, believe me; we have a connection, we've been stuck together for 21 years...

Anecdote: She saved my life!!! And then, I punched and slapped (in front of her) now I understand why she looks at me like that, and she's still my guardian; if I sleep, she just sits there like a little soldier!!!

She sees everything... Situation: the house is semi-burnt, the kitchen and half the living room, I had put her outside (once in my life) to sleep in peace, and after a while, I hear her meowing (she’s already crazy) but like a madwoman…

While everything was burning (she could have left without any risks), I wake up, even angry, open the door and start, “Stupid Cat, why are you meowing…” she looks at me, I see the flames, she's practically a lightning bolt, and I'm outside the door with firefighters.

I searched for her for 3 days, obviously at night, because during the day it was impossible for her to come out… well, in the end, during a storm, I hear her meowing outside the door, skinny, with her fur, no, the fur was fine but (she looked like a hamster) she was terrifying, I won’t get into the chaos with

insurance and administrators, who I must say were very kind and understanding, they did everything without breaking anything, and after 15 years here I am, trying to cut my veins or they took me away for too many medications, 2 weeks in the hospital… what an enormous absence, with the paws, I think back to it now.

I can say “idea” dissolved.

Lou Reed - I'm Waiting For the Man

Lou Reed dug into the depths of pure despair.

He used to assert how great rock 'n roll was, which is why people should start dying for it.

The truth is you don't fully understand music, at least not until it can give you back the rhythm to dream: "An entire generation running for a Fender bass, people have to die for music.

You die for everything else, so why not do it for music?", he would say.

It almost seems that for him life was too awful to go on.

Lou Reed's words are a great way to approach the history of punk.

Lou's glory was showing us how everything is truly a mess.

He urges you to go further, down into the depths of hell, to have all the experiences life has to offer, the deep and the profane, before deciding whether to end it all.

There is always a fascination with personalities capable of living boundary-pushing psychic experiences like William Burroughs or Norman Mailer, to name a few. Lou Reed was someone who knew the real secrets of life and sought to extract some truth from it.

He had been the most influential artist of his entire generation, plain and simple.

Yes, the Beatles and the Stones were more popular, but when it comes to the honesty of human emotions, nobody could beat Lou Reed.

Any oddity, anything private and too mortifying to admit, he had already tucked away in a song. (source: "Radio Chinaski")

Alexander Tucker, a piece from the LP "Portal".
Alexander Tucker - Andromeon (Official Music Video)
Very simply, I hear a droning guitar base over which minimal electric string dialogues are added, flashes in a black sky, morning guitar chords, a stentorian voice.... it's morning again and I consider "Portal" an excellent painting of our mind.
Thank you
