Jolie, you inspire me!

 Katja & Jutta, Jolie!
Thank you girls! I must say I felt the love when visited you on Uudenmaankatu and got my Autumn make-up on Katja's hands! Your energy and courage just sticks on me even though the make-up is washed off. And again, I must say I love what you've done to the premises. One more Boutique to make Punavuori the wonderfull place it is.
Again great thanks! Have the best Autumn! Have the best Everyday!

Unfinished, ready for life.

Ready to face the winter.

Laulun ja hengityksen dialogi kehossa

...Niin ja tosiaan, tarkoitukseni olisi noista tunteiden vaikutuksista äänenmuodostukseen vielä kirjoittaa lisää, koska se nimenomaan vaikuttaa äänen luonnolliseen syntymiseen, kestoon ja äänialan laajentumiseen. Inspiraatio sinänsä hengityksessä tulee ja sitä voi käyttää itseään riemastuttamaan milloin tahansa jos kaipaa piristystä sillä mikäpä on ihanampaa kuin onnen "kurina ja pörinä" rintakehässä ja koko elimistössä, sitä se on kun happi löytää oikeisiin paikkoihin ja avaa lukkoja.

3/3 The Excitement of Breathing

I had now understood how the breathing worked muscularly and physically but when I started to sing something did not connect. Then it was time for Päivi, the singing teacher, to poke me again. 

"Now you feel the breath, but what about the song? Aren't you telling something with it?"

2/3 The Lesson

...of singing

turned into a lesson of breathing and presence.

And even better into a lesson how to motivate yourself, go from passive existing into active being and therefore it took me into the origin of inspiration.

"Your breathing seems passive as well as your singing. Actually you've quite a passive body and presence. "

Is the origin of breath.

like we did it for millions of years,

as you did yesterday,

as you did minute go,

as you do it now,

breathe,

it's the most natural thing for you to do."

There's something for you to chew and think about at first glance.

I don't want to make you choke at the first bite

What's Up Today?

It's a News Feed day at Bohemian's residence. Since I have officially let my self this day just to update what is there all over in the Internet you'll be able to enjoy the best of now:

ARCHI-TECTURE FIRST

1. I'm passing for the others to write about the Finnish Pavilion of New Forms of Wood in Venice Biennale, even though it's much more on the news now. Even though Timber Is the New Concrete as Alex de Rijke aptly said in this year's Alvar Aalto Symposium Crafted I find this exhibition far less interesting that the upcoming massive building projects of this century's most moving media companies.

2. Apple announced it's plans for the new headquarters not later than about year ago (August 2011)

and now quite sharply a year after (August 2012) it was seemingly time for Facebook to update their symbols and give their answer to Apple in the form of Frank Gehry's Fb Hq expansion plans. Take a look at the profile of the architect, their plans and see the message they're giving. Isn't Apple sleek, round and shiny first, only then ecological or social if at all? And what about FB doing expansion with trees above and interiors with Start Up mentality highly visible in the design? 

Well these thoughts are not my own invention. Looks at the articles written about:

Have you ever had problems in motivation, inspiration?

Yeah, I was guessing that too. It's an usual symptom among creative people too. There's also an enormous  amount of good and not so good advice about getting rid of creativity blocks in several books, blogs, aforisms, improvisation classes and so on... And I will add one up here in my blog since I've never seen one of this kind before. Just wait! You'll be amazed by the sheer simplicity!
