reactions to tilda swinton's state of cinema speech at sf international film festival
OK, this is going to sound a little corny, but Tilda Swinton, through her recounting of working with Derek Jarman, tonight, reminded me of why I make music. I came away with these ideas:
-Be more than a dilettante but be less than a professional
-We need human messiness now more than ever
-Don't connect the dots in your work
-Don't clean up the spilled milk
-Be human and proud of your weaknesses
-Expose your doubt and vulnerability
-Only laugh when you mean it (are you listening America?)
And I realized that I need to sample Hank Williams Sr. more in my music.
Comments
right, these are good ideas.
i especially like the last three ideas in bold.
these showed up in 'human, all too human' which i've finished re-reading today.
let's have another long chat soon.
best,
r.
p.s. let me know what you think about that digiki vs. xenakis thing.
