Music Friday: Music & Art!

Music Friday: Music & Art!

Indisputable they are connected with more than just words. Surely music is art in itself and when you add words you can only strengthen the whole. I enjoy listening to music and do swarm across the many platforms that have came up to the surface of this huge ocean of inspiration and creativity.
The Industrial may not have many followers, like where they turned cookies on a turn table, but in the end it is art and thus becomes unique in its own way. Noise is just another one.

As the go hand in hand what might elevate music or art is the combination of both. We got dance as an art and you could quickly think of ballet, for example, depending on your taste. But visually there is a whole new tour. The first were of course Video clips but they to evolved. Today I like to look at some of my favourite visual beauties with some fantastic music to boost.

First up is a gem. With music from Grimes and the song called “Skin” And a video clip made by James Robert Brown. To say anything would reveal to much of this work of art where an ink flow is used. The beauty is in the fact that facial expressions seem to be formed. This is might just be our imagination but take a look at it and see how two seemingly merge together.

Next is the Chemical Brothers with their new song “Wide open” ft. Beck. I simply love the song and the setting it is put in with this dancer and her computerized body. It is amazing to watch how this comes together. It brings a whole new meaning to the ‘Wide Open’.

After that another oldie. Gorillaz with their song “On Melancholy Hill”. They have been an virtual band from the start and have made some fantastic combinations in music itself. Mixing funk and dance, electric etc and with that added created video clips to enhance there virtual image.

Surely I could go on and on and I might just do a second ‘Music & Art’ Friday just to visit more arty combinations.
If you have any works of art you enjoy, let me know! For now I will leave you with the three I picked. today. May you enjoy both the art and music.

Reading!

A simple piece I wrote with a little drizzle of sensuality as I think reading is sexy and most certainly can be made sexy.

Reading!

Curvature of back
fitted inside the palm
of the clasping hand
skin laid spread
across soft legs
tongue curled
around a finger
caressing desires of
a shaped mind
and imaginations
followed by eyes
with a hunger
parted lips
eager to savour and
feel the silent words
come to life
tantalizing
fragrances
with each flip
through pages
trace the edge
gasp for air
taken in deep
of the story
that unfolds
when you reach
an exciting ending.

Your Canvas!

appraisal; The act or result of judging the worth or value of something or someone.

It is the word I added to the be used in the prompt provided by Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie. It is at the same time a piece that was triggered yesterday, in a conversation and got its inspiration from ‘Within” that was written by Carisa Arienne.

Your canvas! 

I am a painting
crafted upon
pure white canvas.
In sturdy nickel  frame
layer after layer
the world painted me.

Scratched me.
Brushed me.
Mutilated me.

I was suffering
beautification,
abstract thoughts.
A refined plexus
of phased cracks
Becoming your image.

The weight
The burdens
The stares.

It migrated colours
into greasy smudges
shadows and darkness.
Hiding my emotions
with brightness
I ungainly smile.

Crying tears.
Smiling Fears.
Praising Years.

I forgot who I am
to be submersible
in silent numbness.
within all distress
and nonchalant commotion
of those appraising me.

Judge me.
Hate me.
Like me

I can’t shed
what I look like.
No water, turpentine
can cleanse my face
but underneath
I’m still …

Being painted
Being written
Being me

Still me

A work in progress
on top of…

The same
pure white canvas.

Somewhere I guess we should always stay true to ourselves and the person we have been all this time. That the world outside may change but not necessarily us. Not easy seeing it underneath all our grief and misery but the us is still there, just does one dare to find it or better feel it.

It was a tough time finding a picture but found me two and since I could not choose which of the two fitted better I am posting the other one as well.

Thought of the day! February 17, 2015

When giving back make sure you do it right.

Be inspired to inspire your inspirations.

Inspirations comes in many forms. Inspire others through your inspirations to be the best a man or woman can be and be inspired by those who follow your lead.

A quote from Leonardo da Vinci for today!

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

Nothing else to add, Let’s just create art in what ever way we feel most happy.
