Possibly true! :up: Some are more cerebral oriented, though. Myself perhaps included. I really don't know.
Well, I think we all do :left:
I suffer from tinnitus going on 30 years now. A high pitch ringing in my ears 24/7. I have learned to live with it. Some how I filter it out. I'm only conscious of it before I go to sleep when all is quiet. The mention of "the kind that really hits you in the belly" made me conscious of the ringing in my ears.Music drowning out the ringing is for me the real pleasure in life. 🙂

Carlo, glad to hear that the ringing doesn't interfere with your listening — and that, even more, it helps…Also good to hear that you are still out there — I was beginning to worry about you since you hadn't been blogging lately. Hope you are well!
Thank you for asking Ed. I'm fine. Things have been quite hectic. I was lucky to have two of my works accepted in a juried show in Pennsylvania. Since two weeks before Christmas it has been one thing after another. The link below has some information regarding the show & the two works of mine in that show. http://www.behance.net/gallery/ALTERED-STATE/2797515Hope you enjoy them. Give me some feed back when you have a minute.Hope you are feeling well too, Carlo :coffee:
Hope the show goes (or already went) well. You know I haven't been to an art show in like 6 years or so. Maybe I should go to one. BTW, I know that you are into the art retrouve thing. Would you be interested in acquiring some very thin plastic tubing? Some is clear and some is green. And I've probably got about enough of it to stretch all the way from my apartment downtown at this point. I get it for my oxygen machine, every time they come for a service call they want to give me new tubing, and if I start to say something like "well, I think I'm doing okay on the tubing thing" they get such disappointed looks on their faces, like they really really really wanted to give me some tubing. And so of course I cave and say "Oh, okay. I guess I could use some more tubing." LMAO. Anyway, it's yours if you want it. Assuming I can get it in a box and get postage.
I just got a good picture of that whole exchange & it is a riot. I can see the tubing piling up.Maybe you should weave yourself an nice hammock.Thanks Ed, but no thanks for the offer of tubing. My studio would make a good segment on the "Hoarders". I'm constantly throwing crap out now. Boxes of odds and ends that have been sitting around for years. So out they go.I'll try to send you a picture of my studio. 💡
Front view of Carlo's studio, please excuse the laundry drying to the right. Oh and excuse the mess I haven't the time to tidy up for about 15 years or so. :no:
:eyes: And where exactly is a studio? 😆
oh IT is there :left: :right: just look carefully between everything :p
😆
😆 Quite impressive, Carlo! But IMO best not to fly in too quicly on that 15 year cleaning thing. Maybe you should kick back, have a beer, and think about it for a couple years or so first, 🙂

And maybe, by the time you decide to clean it, some stuff would have museum value :cheers:

"I love a visceral sound, the kind that really hitsyou in the belly."– Esa-Pekka Salonenoddly enough Ed, when I posted my studio photo I got an objective visceral LOOK which hit me in the belly. I think I'll have that beer now. :cheers: and one for you :beer:
I really like Salonen's conducting – some of my favorite recordings feature him. He does hit in the gut – but he also has fabulous control too.

@ Richard. Yes, too bad that L.A. lost him. But L.A.'s loss is London's gain, I guess.
When Igor Stravinsky's former Beverly Hills residence at 1260 North Wetherly Drive was put up for sale, Salonen strongly considered buying the property; however, after visiting the house and, among other things, noting that indentations from Stravinsky's piano were still visible in the carpet, he was intimidated by the prospect of trying to compose in the same house where Stravinsky had written many important works, including Symphony in Three Movements, the Concerto in D for Strings, The Rake's Progress, Orpheus, Agon, the Cantata, and Mass. He ultimately decided not to buy the house.:yikes: WOW … "indentations…… in the carpeting" the kind that really hits you in the belly.
Yeah, those old floors. I've seen some like that. They really do bring up a stir of echoes.
