SOLITUDE TRILOGY - Part 2 "Solitary Walk" by Zdenko de Zagreb- DEEP LISTENING (see notes)

Solitude is that lovely state of being when you are alone and separate from the outside world. When there is noone else to consider, when your facial muscles can be completely relaxed, no need to smile or put on a persona for the rest of the world. When you can loss yourself in creating, or just thought. Quite different from being lonely, which can happen even in a crowd. Solitude need not be melancholy, but rather, an intense feeling of being in the moment, when you can feel the space around you, and that's where you belong! I have been creating in solitude my entire life (when it allowed me), until Youtube this year, only a handful of people have seen or heard any of my works. I feel privileged to be able to share them with you!

The painting is my oil on canvas, "Prospero" ca. 1970's, based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest".

This channel is about my art, music and life interests.
As an artist I paint surrealism, biomorph and abstract oil on canvas. My paintings can be dystopian with psychological angst and social discontent because my philosophy is absurd existential influenced by Albert Camus and Friedrich Nietzsche. Philip Guston opened the door to my artistic sensibility.
The sounds I create in my Blue Grotto recording studio are ambient, primal, space, electronic and experimental. I owe a debt to Brian Eno and Harold Budd for leading the way.
As a music lover I am an audiophile and have a good sound system, hope you do also. The passion and emotion that sound can induce is one of the greatest pleasures a human can experience.
I am drawn to outsider literature by the likes of Franz Kafka, George Orwell and Samuel Beckett.
The unfathomability of quantum physics and the universe is a constant amusement.
