I was a bit warned for this. It becomes challenging to stay
consistent in writing a blog. Life can get in the way of regularity. I
guess I have somewhat of an excuse because of my wrist injury but, for a
large part, that is all it is, an excuse. I just could not find much
energy to put up a post on my last ventures-out into my little music world here
in Singapore. So I have some stuff to mention that is more than a week old.
Last Friday was Artistry’s first anniversary. I stopped by
for a beer and was pleasantly surprised to see a big crowd that turned up to
share in festivities. Artistry to me is one of those places where I feel at
home. There is always a bit more going on than what you go for. Do you go for coffee
there is photography, are you going for beer there are paintings. Are you going
for cake there is poetry… music, food, conversation, relaxation… and always,
lots of good company.
Artistry exposes "some kind of" art but it also exposes the growing
interest.
As an example: A week before, there was a performance called Wisdom-Insight
announced as “Performance
art and collective experimental music by Blu Simon Wasem (Brazil) and Yuzuru
Maeda (Japan)”.
Not very much informed about anything
art, music included, I had no idea what to expect even from the description, but decided to stop
by anyway. As mentioned there is always the attraction of meeting someone
interesting if you don’t see something interesting.
In all honesty I was both puzzled and intrigued,
and maybe on occasion not even at the same time, but in any case I was entertained, which is the main objective when I go out. A small picture commentary below.
