Animal awesome

Here is an oscar nomination, if you were in my world.
The clip below has a few minutes of a bunch of Gorillas - that raided a resort but for peaceful surveying purposes - interacting with a human. Their gentle actions suggest they're a content bunch and mean no harm. When animals strike, it is difficult to establish a chain of events that led to it, but there's one nonetheless, that pushes them to act against their nature of peaceful coexistence. They seem to respect humans, and we do just the opposite - destroy wherever they dwell. The expansionist human that outgrew all competition seeks to further outgrow the planet it lives in. It is a concern?

Symphonie pour un homme seul

Listening to Pierre Sheaffer for my music class led to a sonic session which was a digression from the syllabi but exciting time nonetheless. I was further led to find about Maurice Bejart (d. 2007), a French choreographer extraordinaire, whose own performance was the thing - a performance to the a Sheaffer track - that led me to it. The minimalist piece and its minimalist onstage performance were brilliant for an experience. "Symphonie pour un homme seul", is the track to which Bejart performed to , and the performance is there on youtube and below.


The title of the track translates to "Music for the lonely man".
