It Don't Mean A Thing...
As I am getting closer to showing the world what my idea of fashion is about, for the time being through what others have created and by putting different parts of outfit together, I am also trying to get to know music from underneath. So that what I had done numerous times before - resuscitating parties in agony to the point when everyone gets up and is more than eager to jump and rock, becomes something more. Maybe not a way of life, but an exciting addition to other things I do.
To get there I need to see how things work, what BPM is, keynote, etc.
I guess there are people who just know. I don't, however I got that swing, I suppose. I got the rhythm.
So just one obstacle to overcome - all that tech stuff.

For the girl with tears in her eyes on the subway tonight.
I didn't want to intrude, so I didn't say it out loud, but I was looking back at her while taking the escalator and thinking "out loud": "Everything is going to be alright".

Yael striking the tender string
Let him dream
Human being
He needs to dream
Let him breathe

Asking to breathe

Silky Yael Naïm
Who's ever heard of mango tango, Bulgarian rose or cerulean?
High time to get educated! I can perfectly express myself describing colours in my mother language, but now that I am trying to have words stand in for visual aids where colours would not only be perceived by the sense of sight, but also nearly tactile, I am at a loss to find the right ones. And no, I am not suffering from synesthesia. But colours live in my mind as if they're truly tangible, not merely visible.
For now I will need this at hand:
"Toxic" by Yael Naïm is bottle green & dark salmon silk. Picture this. Feel it and hear her voice spread the silk in the scenery of your mind.

Jamie Woon
The electronic soul beats by Jamie Woon with their seemingly random synth moments, project the image of petrol blue velvet and suede.
Some music just goes perfectly with certain aesthetics. There is a reason why experts select musical entourage for a fashion show. Why a fashion show might get a completely different reception when accompanied by tasteful music which reflects the concept of the designer.
I am not a fashion designer although the way I dress is one of the essential elements to define how I address the world. Hence the colours I chose, the styles I wear, are blended in a subjective harmony.
I am no musician either. But the same way I love to pick what designers have come up with, I like to live with a lot of different kinds of music every day.
The only natural consequence that could come out of the two, is what I would like to make this blog about. My idea of fashion plus the music that would go perfectly with it. That I would like to listen to while looking or wearing.
So far others are the artists to design the clothes and the music in my life.
So I take what I think is best available, mix & blend it for my own and hopefully others' pleasure. Starting merely with music. Soon both to be seen and heard! Photos of how and what I like to wear, what inspires me and might inspire you too. With customized soundtracks.
