/// The progress of the soul.
[Shirt, Jeans, Bag, Ballet flats, Lipstick, Perfume.]
Classy; as always.
Young people, be careful. Beautiful things are disappearing every day. You don't need to be shopping at fast-fashion stores, especially young people. They are beautiful naturally, because they it's enough. Don't be too much fashionable. [...] The brand advertising is making you crazy. You don't need to be too sexy. You are sexy enough.
— Yohji Yamamoto

Nobody can help you. That's what love's all about [...]. You're the one having these wonderful feelings, but you have to go it alone as you wander through the dark. Your mind and body have to bear it all. All by yourself.

Oper Dortmund | Einstein on the Beach | April - Juni 2017
Philip Glass sagt ja selber: Die Musik hat keine Handlung, sondern die Handlung der Musik ist das, was in den Köpfen der Zuhörer passiert. [...] Man muss reingehen, sich öffnen und dann wird das Stück Dinge mit einem machen, die man wahrscheinlich selten erlebt.
— Florian Helgath
Wir stellen nicht den Anspruch, dass wir regieren, was im Kopf eines Zuschauers stattfindet, sondern der Zuschauer darf absolut sich seine eigenen Gedanken dazu machen. Wir machen ein Angebot und er kann das annehmen. Auf welche Weise er es annimmt oder ob er es vielleicht überhaupt nicht annimmt, ist seine Sache.

Satoru Tamura | Point of Contact for Unna | 2017
There are no meanings, purposes or arguments here. The artist wants to get rid of them and want to make his work independent from any thoughts, principles and policies. He just wants to leave the work simply as it is.
[ZFIL Unna; revisited.]
Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally [...]. Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream, in their own mind; they are in a completely different world from the one we live in. When we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our world, and we try to impose our world on their world. [...] There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.

Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable. You are you, I am I. I have to contribute my potential to life; you have to contribute your potential to life. I have to discover my own being; you have to discover your own being.

New restoration of Stalker; by Janus Films
sqq. *
Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd.
— Henri Bergson

Tatort Dortmund, Sturm; inszeniert von Richard Huber, 2016
Die Dortmunder Tatort-Folgen sind inzwischen die einzigen noch ernstzunehmenden Beiträge aus dieser Sendereihe; sehr häufig das aktuelle Zeitgeschehen realistisch reflektierend und in einer stringenten, horizontalen Erzählweise inszeniert. In Sturm sogar fast in Echtzeit; Jack Bauer lässt grüßen.

Once you want to free your mind about a concept of harmony and music being correct, you can do whatever you want. So nobody told me what to do and there was no preconception of what to do.

If you love deeply, you're going to get hurt badly. But it's still worth it.

No sooner does the door close behind me than I exclaim: What perfection in the parody of hell!
— E. M. Cioran
I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of syncronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone.

There will be no one like us when we are gone, but then there is no one like anyone else, ever. When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate - the genetic and neural fate - of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death.

There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
— Jane Austen
Think of this: That the writer wrote alone, and the reader read alone, and they were alone with each other.

Perhaps our love originated in the loneliness we both had known before.
— Liv Ullmann
sqq. *
Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don't know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.
— Paramahansa Yogananda

It's important to understand that, for me, making music is a process that is as natural and instinctive as taking a breath.
