In the Thread: Harmonies for Bosch’s Garden needed....

Post Subject: Visual hearingPosted by twogoodears on: 12/28/2010

Hyeronimus and his lysergic masterpiece has been an obsession for generations... I remember and still have in some ESP Disk issues by Pearl Before Swine's, Sun Ra's, Tuli Kupferberg's a beautiful, foldable, high quality repro of the HB's Tryptic which highly impressed a younger, naive me... maybe someone at ESP's guessed Bosch was in tune, cool and appropriate for their productions.Something similar to Roman's also happens to me in my most involving, private listenings... it happens that my relaxed eye and attached lost-in-music mind loose in some kilim knotted world(s) like I'd be able to truly enter the small hands and loom job, understanding the math-like heaven which produced the carpet.Also a nice black and white marble floor i have at home served to my musical meditations as a base for infinite extremely enjoyable trips in a looking-at-the-clouds-like dreamy, music-hinted and supported parallel universe.Back to art... after reading several times Aldous Huxley's "Doors of Perceptions" and following his wise teachings about being lost in details of Greats artists' masterpieces, looking at the flowers and leaves more than human figures - think to Leonardo Da Vinci's "La Gioconda" and the incredible complexity of landscape at her back - and several times I get lost in some beautiful cover artworks, both classical EMI Reflexe and/or rock, say a '70s Yes' cover art.Brugel and every Flemish's School artist should be a goldmine of visual=musical joy... Last but not least, it's intriguing considering that, for myself too, "details" and ONLY parts of an oil on canvas be also paramount like in music listening.Solo lute music is one of my personal fave and a caller for such deep experiences.
