Michael Manalo (visual) and Will Holland (audio)

It's time for another incursion into our artistic souls, people, so close the lights and lean back on the chairs or couch or whatever, start the following song and continue down, down on the road. This time is Michael Manalo and Will Holland.


Quantic with the song "Time is the enemy". Quantic is the "stage name" of Will Holland, a musician from England that masterfully creates music by mixing electronic, jazz, funk and a couple of condiments. "Time is the enemy" is the 10th song from his 2001 "The 5th Exotic" album.

Michael Vincent Manalo is according to his own description a self-taught digital mixed-media artist, photographer and musician. In his artist statement he ends with "I will try to free people's minds and allow them to withdraw from reality and give them the opportunity to dig into a wild roller coaster of a vivid dream", congratulations Michael, you succeeded. 

You are not alone

Gospels of the sand

Tales of the plane walker

The tale of the king maker

The Titan

The arcane tower

See you all next time.

Annemarie Rysz (visual) and Martin Freeland (audio)

Golden.

Annemarie Rysz is a young Canadian artist that hypnotizes the viewer with simplicity, understood as minimalism. The reason I didn't say minimalism from the very beginning is because i feel that her art has something different and complex and in a way "simplicity" is also a bad choice. You need to take some time to understand the many levels present in her works, this generally depends of everyone's background. The colors are strong, expressive and well balanced, creating unique sensations and emotions also individualized with help from her choices of imagery.

I also recommend you look at the pictures while listening to this song from Man With No Name (his name being Martin Freeland) entitled Azymuth. His official website is: http://www.manwithnoname.co.uk/

Paul Barlow's art and Bassically by Ryan Farish

Triumph (Small Tree)

It's amazing how many good things we discover by accident, this is the first though that came in my mind after seeing "Triumph" by Paul Barlow. Only after I began to control my amazement I started to go through a list of his works and didn't find one that I didn't like. Most often I try to console myself with the idea that a particular work by a particular artist will someday and somehow grow on me, but this is not the case with Paul's artistic achievements.

He was born in 1988 and is from the United Kingdom. He says:

In my work i choose surrealism because of the freeness, the mysticism and the depths of the subconscious. My main goal is to create and realise unknown worlds, feelings and thoughts which are higher than words. My work is also a kind of spiritual journey, by playing with the world and materials i am createing something higher than mere physical existence. Feelings of beauty, life, lonliness, wonder, happiness, existence all feelings that i cannot put into words are spilled out into my images.
