There are multiple reasons for that, but the main one is that I've created a Tumblr account.
You can find it <a href="http://hydraulix16aa.tumblr.com" target="_blank">here</a>.
<p>It's much easier for me to search for inspiring work from other artists over there and (hopefully/I think) it's a great tool for networking. I'll continue with this blog though, as this will be my happy spot where I can tell/show you more about stuff that inspires me.

<p>
Situated in a majestic old building and in one of the most beautiful parts of Amsterdam, this ethnographic museum is unfortunately a forgotten treasure between the more renowned art museums scattered throughout the city. It has such a rich, fascinating collection and is a joy for a younger to older audience. This museum deserves so much more attention; once inside, you're literally in a complete different world.</p>
<p>At the moment of my visit, there was a temporary exhibition, called 'Death Matters'.</p>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-afGV-GnLcNI/UIjOI7BJRdI/AAAAAAAAAlA/QwIKmfQkW60/s1600/shaun-tan---water-buffalo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="304" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-afGV-GnLcNI/UIjOI7BJRdI/AAAAAAAAAlA/QwIKmfQkW60/s400/shaun-tan---water-buffalo.jpg" /></a></div>
<p>When I was a kid, there was a big water buffalo living in the vacant lot at the end of our street, the one with the grass no one ever mowed. He slept most of the time, and ignored everybody who walked past, unless we happened to stop and ask him for advice. Then he would come up to us slowly, raise his left hoof and literally point us in the right direction. But he never said what he was pointing at, or how far we had to go, or what we were supposed to do once we got there. In fact, he never said anything because water buffalos are like that; they hate talking. </p>
<p>
This was too frustrating for most of us. By the time anyone thought to 'consult the buffalo', our problem was usually urgent and required a straightforward and immediate solution. Eventually we stopped visiting him altogether, and I think he went away some time after that; all we could see was long grass. </p>
<p>It's a shame, really, because whenever we had followed his pointy hoof we'd always been surprised, relieved and delighted at what we found. And every time we'd said exactly the same thing - 'How did he know?'</p>

WHY for heaven's sake aren't there (m)any electro party's here in Holland?! I'm talking about the minimal, raw, analogue stuff with distorted vocals (and if you're considering Skrillex and co. as 'electro', I will hunt you down with a flame thrower). I've missed the last ever <a href="http://electronation.nl/" target="_blank">Electronation</a> party here due to my holiday and secretly I was feeling very bummed about it. It's sad that this music style is totally overpowered by the techno and (barf) hard-core/style scene, but lucky us (and especially me) we can always tune-in to <a href="https://intergalactic.fm/" target="_blank">intergalactic.fm</a>. Due to some serious self loathing and as a form of occupational therapy I've made this list of tracks I do want to hear when I'm in a club so I can outshine everyone with my battle seizure robot dance moves.</p>

It was performed to drumming/percussion music based on ceremonial ritual music from Ghana (West Africa). Musical rhythms and patterns are used and mixed in a synthesizer to produce a layered effect in some sections. The result of this a more energetic, sometimes frenzied sound that the dancers match in a very physical dance.<br /><br />Falling Angels depicts females and female dancers in their aim to achieve perfection but succumb in various stages to the human female psyche and female events such as ambition, seduction, pregnancy, birth, death, motherhood and self-awareness. It is basically about the things that pull and push a dancer from the 'purity' of dance and performance. Kylián was influenced by surrealism and minimalism during the creation of this work and the 'black and white ballets'. In this ballet we see the combination of classical lines and sharp percussive movements that give unpredictability to the piece as a whole.<br><br /><iframe width="800" height="437" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VFcJ0a3aBJs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>DLShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15864671715303279534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069044090446661951.post-72021290981227745762012-01-19T18:24:00.000-08:002012-01-19T18:50:35.411-08:00Nightingale & other fablesBy far the most beautiful thing I've seen and heard in a long time.
