(inspiration)


from the First German Dada Manifesto of 1918:


"Art in its execution and direction is dependent on the time in which it lives, and artists are creatures of their epoch. The highest art will be that which in its conscious content presents the thousandfold problems of the day, the art which has been visibly shattered by the explosions of last week... The best and most extraordinary artists will be those who every hour snatch the tatters of their bodies out of the frenzied cataract of life, who, with bleeding hands and hearts, hold fast to the intelligence of their time."

                                                        —Richard Huelsenbeck (b. 1892 – 1974 d.)

My darling machine.


The love of my life! 
The greatest instrument I have ever seen and heard, the highlight of my NAMM experience, I could listen to it forever.
