SNG (Natacha Guiller)


Your favorite virtue / votre vertu préférée ::
    A single virtue would make a monster. And I’m scared of monsters. I’d say the imperfect combination of several unexpected tones together, which creates humanity in a spotted-monster form /

    Une vertu isolée composerait un monstre. Et j'ai la frousse des monstres. Je dirais la combinaison imparfaite de plusieurs tons inattendus ensemble, ce qui fabrique de l'humanité tout en monstre tacheté.

Your idea of misery / votre idée de la misère ::
    My non-experience of the time I lived through as a teenager, a horrible misery I wouldn’t wish on anyone, not even teenagers or those nostalgic for it. /

    Ma non-expérience de l'époque vécue adolescente, une sale misère que je ne souhaite à personne, pas même aux adolescent.e.s et celleseux qui rêvent d'y retourner nostalgiques.

If you weren’t yourself, who would you like to be / Sinon vous-même, qui aimeriez-vous être ::
An untrained, long-haired (uncombed) runaway shepherd dog. /

    In a cutting from the SNG Hospice, with its full spatial setup including the artist's studio next to the room of one's own, neighboring the kitchen-canteen for gleaning, attached to the winter garden next to the deposit-resource space adjoining the studio for plural dance alongside the DIY recording studio neighboring the random experimental lab near the four-season garden close to the pink bathroom & its indie WC by the clinical archives room and the Snoezelen room, bordering the large library of found books, all under a greenhouse.  /

    En bouture de l'Hospice SNG, dans sa configuration spatiale complète incluant l'atelier d'artiste adossé à la chambre à soi avoisinant la cuisine-cantine de la glane collée au jardin d'hiver contigu au dépôt-ressourcerie jouxtant le studio de danse plurielle juxtaposé au studio d’enregistrement bricoson limitrophe du laboratoire expérimental aléatoire mitoyen du potager 4 saisons proche de la salle de bain rose & ses WC indé' riverains de la salle des archives cliniques et des oeuvres tangente à la Snoezelen room, bardant la grande bibliothèque de livres trouvés, le tout sous serre.

Your favorite color / votre couleur préférée ::
Red, then all the remaining colors.  /
Le rouge, puis toutes les couleurs restantes.

Your favorite flower / votre fleur préférée ::
A carpet of Cyclamens.  / Une moquette de Cyclamens.

Your favorite prose authors / auteur.e.s de prose préféré.e.s ::
    I’ll be blunt on this: let’s just say I tend to linger on details and therefore on trash, with a natural interest and attraction to anything “garbage,” so I haven't yet encountered or heard of the authors who might become my favorites.
Insulted and disgusted by all that’s published to drown in meaningless debris, poor and poorly recycled, with no reason to exist (in my opinion, though I don’t read, hence my arrogance) on bookstore shelves, where staff, by the way, do not engage with enough dedication in their crucial mission—to showcase writing that changes the world—to leave room for SNCF (*) shops.
I mainly read on public transportation (trains) and mostly books by people I know, even friends.  /
(*) French Railways (ndt)

    Je vais être un peu raide sur ce sujet, mais disons que j'ai une forte tendance à m'attarder aux détails, et donc aux déchets, par intérêt et attirance naturels pour tout ce qui fait poubelle, aussi je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion de rencontrer, ni d'entendre les auteur.ice.s qui s'avéreraient être mes favori.te.s.
Injurieuse et dégoûtée de tout ce que l'on publie dans quoi se noyer en débris insignifiants, pauvres, mal recyclés, qui n'ont pas lieu d'exister (selon moi, même si je ne lis pas, d'où ma prétention) dans des rayonnages de librairies, dont le personnel, au passage, ne mène pas avec suffisamment d'engagement sa mission importante - quant à mettre en évidence les écritures qui changent le Monde - afin de laisser de la marge de manoeuvre aux boutiques SNCF.
Je lis essentiellement dans les transports (les trains), et essentiellement les livres de personnes que je connais, voire de mes ami.e.s.

Your favorite poets / poète.s préféré.e.s ::
    For some rewritten lives, their authors died before we could clash. There’s undoubtedly Antonin Artaud, Ghérasim Luca, Zoo Project, Jean-Luc Parant, and a magnetic band of poets in the making who speak to me: Jean Paradis, Christophe Hanna, Paule-Poule, Gloria Hagenmoss, Fabien Drouet, Frédéric Prieur, Bob Dylan […]. Maybe my favorite poets don’t write in my language, so I’ll need to explore multilingual boundaries to find and understand them.  /

    Pour certaines vies réécrites, leurs auteur.ice.s sont mort.e.s sans que nous ayons pu en découdre. il y a sans aucun doute Antonin Artaud, Ghérasim Luca, Zoo Project, Jean-Luc Parant, et une bande magnétique de poètes en cours d'existence qui me parlent : Jean Paradis, Christophe Hanna, Paule-Poule, Gloria Hagenmoss, Fabien Drouet, Frédéric Prieur, Bob Dylan […].
Peut-être que mes poétesses préférées ne s'écrivent pas dans ma langue et donc il me faudra arpenter les frontières polyglottes pour être amenée à les rencontrer et à les comprendre.

Your favorite heroes in novels / héros préférés dans les romans ::
I don’t read, even less novels. / Je ne lis pas, et encore moins des romans.

Your favorite heroines in novels / héroïnes préférées dans les romans ::
Amélie Nothomb.

Your favorite fictional heroines / héroïnes préférées de fiction ::
The Vivian Girls.

Your favorite painters / vos peintres préféré.e.s ::
Those who paint without a draft. / De ceux qui peinturent sans brouillon

Your favorite composers / vos compositeurs.trices préféré.e.s ::
Klô Pelgag, William Sheller, Francis Cabrel.

Your favorite heroes in real life / vos héros préférés dans la vie réelle ::

Your favorite heroines in real life / vos héroïnes préférées dans la vie réelle ::
The cleaning ladies who dance during breaks. /
Les dames-pipi qui dansent en dehors des pauses.

Which historical character(s) disgust(s) you the most / Quel.s personnage.s historique.s vous dégoûte.nt le plus ::
Those I would have dreamed of meeting but who died just before, or even long before. /
Celleux que j'aurais rêvé de rencontrer et qui sont mort.e.s juste avant, ou même bien avant.

Your favorite food and drink / votre plat et boisson préférés ::
    Water, bread, fruit, cheese (minus two intruding elements for my gluten- and dairy-free diet, [gremlins day - sic]). /
    L'eau, le pain, les fruits, le fromage (retirer deux éléments intrus à mondit-régime sans gluten et sans produits laitiers, [de jour de gremlins - sic ])

Your favorite names / vos noms préférés ::
Professor Colon.

Your pet peeve (something that easily annoys you) / Votre bête noire ::
    My senses on high alert that ruin my daily life and fill it with unsolicited information, which delays my to-do list before I die. 
Also, not finding a less literal routine than daily vomiting on the World.  /

    Mes sens sur le qui-vive qui me pourrissent le quotidien et l'enrichissent d'informations non-sollicitées qui me retardent dans ma liste de choses à faire avant de décéder.
Aussi, ne pas avoir trouvé moins littérale routine que de vomir quotidiennement sur le Monde.

The change you’re looking forward to the most / Le changement que vous attendez le plus ::
    The restoration of my bathtub that’s lost all its enamel, or even the repair of my very patched-up computer, otherwise a total rethinking of the approach to madness and those who live on the margins of the suffocating normative average. /

    La restauration de ma baignoire qui a perdu tout son émail, ou même le rétablissement de mon ordinateur qui est vraiment beaucoup pansementé, sinon une refonte totale de l'abordage de la folie et des personnes qui évoluent à la marge de la moyenne normative plombante.

A natural talent you’d like to have / un don de la nature que vous aimeriez avoir ::
Simplicity (flycatcher). / La simplicité (gobe-mouche)

How you’d like to die / comment aimeriez-vous mourir ::
    I wouldn’t like to die—although far from nursing homes, retirement homes, construction sites, and asylums.  /
    Je n'aimerais pas mourir - toutefois à distance des EHPAD, des maisons de retraite, des chantiers et des asiles.

Your current state of mind / votre état d'esprit du moment ::
Agitated, semi-focused, consenting, amused, self-centered, and running late. /
Agité, semi-concentré, consentant, amusé, auto-centré et retardataire.

Which fault do you have the most tolerance for / pour quelle faute avez-vous le plus de tolérance ::
    I love the sound of gender mistakes in words when awkwardly switching from a foreign language to French, noises bound to disappear. /

    J'aime beaucoup le son des fautes liées au genre des mots lors du passage maladroit d'une langue étrangère au français, bruits voué.e.s à disparaître.

Your favorite motto / votre devise préférée ::
    You’re completely crazy” (add 1 to 3 exclamation marks depending on the energy available, in a Simpson-like tone) (repeat every morning upon waking, every night before bed, or in any inconvenient but manageable situation).  /

    « T'es complètement tarée » (ajouter 1 à 3 point(s) d'exclamation selon l'énergie disponible, avec une intonation Simpson) (réitérer chaque matin au réveil, chaque soir au coucher, ou en chaque situation malconvenante mais assumable).

EIDON VEDA


Your favorite virtue ::
Passion! Passion in what one does, and first of all in what one tries to make of oneself. I simply love it when I see that passion at work. That's maybe the main reason that I'm so much into Japanese manga. It's there that I find those motivational stories where someone does their best to "become themselves". Ah, how I love that virtue!

Your favorite qualities in a man ::
Honesty and an open mind are key qualities I like to find in a man. And in a woman too ahah. But I also like talent, especially when combined with simplicity.

Your favorite qualities in a woman ::
Apart from honesty and openmindedness, there is another quality which is a favorite of mine, especially in a woman. That's her generosity. A woman's heart can be generous beyond measure.

Your favorite occupation ::
Composing music.

Your idea of happiness ::
Composing, and playing music with friends in front of a merry audience

Your idea of misery ::
Giving up to the project of creating oneself.

if not yourself, Who you would like to be ::
I don't like the idea of being anybody else but me, but at the same time I'd love to be a better me. There have been things that I didn't do and that now I feel are missing. So I'd like to be me a second time XD.

Where would you like to live ::
Where my soul actually resides: Japan.

Your favorite color ::
Yellow

Your favorite flower ::
Sakura

Your favorite prose authors ::
Beckett; Camus; Thomas Mann; Homer, especially in the Iliad; Carlo Emilio Gadda; Joyce; Huxley; Bulgakov; Kerouak; Poe; Lovecraft... Oh my god, too many!

Your favorite poets ::
Petrarca, Giacomo Leopardi, Fabrizio De André, T. S. Eliot, S. T. Coleridge...

Your favorite heroes in fiction ::

My wife

What character (s) in history do you most dislike ::
Hitler, I suppose. The original one and the modern clones. The people that with their life made the misery of others.

Your favorite food and drink ::
Japanese food! I adore Sushi, for instance. And spuma bruna / chinotto as a drink. Also Belgian brown beers. My favorite is the Mechelschen Bruyne

Your favorite names ::
Natsumi, Ai, Hana

Your pet peeve (something that easily annoys you) ::
I hate prefab opinions and prejudice

The change you most anticipate ::

A return to the Renaissance, a time in which the central aspect of human souls will be art rather than profit

A gift of nature you would like to have ::
Being able to draw and even paint. At the moment I'm only able to sketch the head of Donald Duck. Quite badly.

How I would like to die ::
Uninterrupted. I'd like to die in the period between the end of a composition and the beginning of the next one.

What is your present state of mind ::
Excitement. For one reason or another, I mostly live in a state of excitement. Right now for instance I've found out a band I didn't know anything about and I've follen in love with. I move from a Stendhal-syndrome to the other...

For what fault have you the most toleration ::
Gluttony, I guess ^_^

Your favorite motto ::
"Music is the Best" (F. Zappa)

17 février 2024 - 21:46

Of course I'd like to invite you to a listen of my works on Bandcamp.
Some of those works have been turned into videoclips that are available on YouTube.
I also have a Facebook page where I regularly post new songs and silly bits.
And I have a Blog where I talk about my music -- what influenced me and why, sometimes with more technical aspects.
Since a few years I'm on the Fediverse, as Raru.Re & Musicians.Today

LEE BECKWORTH aka LEE KWO


Your favorite virtue ::

Your favorite occupation ::
To maintain my expression of myself as a Renaissance person using multiple skills and techniques with or without the support of others always pushing boundaries beyond the experimental/to have the confidence to do this without the acceptance and validation of anyone else/To continue to occupy myself with the wreckless abandon of value judgments of what I do and how I think with the only limitation that I dont harm anyone else/Existing in a state of detournment and appropriation creating the release of forces I cant control/

Your idea of happiness ::
To be in a place where nothing is fixed and reality is always shifting and changing/Being left alone[when appropriate] assymetry of imagination drives my arrogance of austerity and self discipline/To transgress the uncanny the pleasure of being in the presence of another when appropriate to my mood and activity/Nothing makes me happy/I am satisfied or I am not satisfied when I reach the completion of a project I am working on/or/I create something I didnt expect to manifest in my life time as short and annoyingly corrupted it is by bourgeoise affectations/I am satisfied when another person has the time/concentration and intellectual focus to respond to what I have created especially my writing/Panic engulfs my mind each time I start a new work and relief and satisfaction comes at the end/Then the chronic need to start something again/Having many things going on at once/A collage/a sculpture a book a musical composition/The vortex of happiness erodes belief in strength of purpose in the present the future and the past/an emotive state of science fiction under perpetual erasure satisfies me/

Your idea of misery ::
No misery is worse than the hell of being ordinary and not realising it/ Misery is domination by the neglect and psychological abuse of mind and body/ Misery is an adolescence bullied and tormented because they are different from their peer group/ Misery is adulthood dominated by mental economic intellectual psychological injustice/to have to continue to live with these abominations and the insanity such conditions demand/the manifesting of false behaviours needed to survive under such distress and the resulting anxiety/Misery is having to live with the anxieties and side effects of the psycho medications that have to be taken to make life bearable/ Misery is being in the company of an Alpha male/ Misery is living a life driven by misinformation/Politicians/public relations/academics/television presenters/journalists/spies/psychiatrists and musicians have created a post truth world of perception management by alienation from identity forcing the people to exist as subjects dominated by the hyper normal processes of the state ideological apparatus of World globalisation/terror and instability/ Misery is being denied the education to percieve such injustices and insight into how to change misery/ Misery is Gaza/ there is only sadness in rebellion/

Choose carefully your subject of delirium and do not try to blame it on sexual perversion

The funny thing about memory is it cant be fully trusted/yet in the end its the only truth we have and no matter how painful it is you have to look at the truth because sometimes its the only thing that can save you and set you free

The Ghost in my Head ::
Isolation springs to life from the audacity of his inner dreams with the viscosity of blood a sense of tragedy at not being able to stop once the originality has been used up/Tyranny ancient and modern always sees what is underneath freedom and uses it against us the slaves of representation/ Spontaneity is a form of arrogance as is genius and inspiration/I went to the beach and drew words in the sand knowing the waves would erase them/It was 2023 and I knew there was no hope for us/To many people creativity is a mystery but the artist hides nothing/She explains what she is saying and doing you just have to listen with yr memory switched on/Keep searching and you will find the other you crave or else they will find you/Early overt sexual experiences can engender a need for control in the individual and cause a difficulty in forming long term relationships/

La constance, le courage et l'audace, l'éloquence, l'intelligence de l'esprit, l'intelligence du coeur, la curiosité, la prévenance, la faculté de créer/d'inventer/d'improviser et enfin, le pouvoir d'être fou tout en ayant les pieds sur Terre.

Your favorite qualities in a woman ::
1 - L'intelligence doublée d'un grand discernement.
2 - Ainsi que toutes les qualités énumérées pour les hommes - hypocrisie oblige.

Your idea of happiness ::
Il y a la joie profonde qui fait référence à des "moments", alors que je vois le bonheur comme un art de vivre.
La joie suprême : quand on saisit le moment présent et qu'on se sent vivant, là, ici et maintenant.. 
Une Présence qui a un goût d'éternité...
Le bonheur : tout le monde le recherche, souvent sans lever le petit doigt. Or il ne peut être trouvé que si on se donne les moyens de le recueillir, avec les sacrifices nécessaires. Un des moyens est de ne pas SUBIR - tant que cela relève de notre pouvoir. C'est un chemin vers la liberté. Je ne vis pas : autour de personnes malveillantes, au milieu de la foule, entre les pots d'échappement... Zéro pub ni dehors ni dedans, zéro télévision, fini les journalistes anxiogènes : les infos je vais les chercher moi-même, bref, tout mérite d'être désiré et non subi.
Personnellement j'ai tout quitté et je suis venue m'installer (avec mon collectif) à 1000m d'altitude dans un paysage lunaire où l'on trouve 1,2 habitant par km2, une espèce de petite Mongolie où l'air qui souffle est "rude et fort".  Retour au silence et à l'essentiel. Je me sens vivante, en accord avec les éléments et avec moi-même.

/ There is deep joy that refers to "moments," while I see happiness as an art of living. 
Supreme joy: when one seizes the present moment and feels alive, here, now... 
A Presence that tastes like eternity... 
Happiness : everyone seeks it, often without lifting a finger. However, it can only be found if we make the effort to embrace it, with the necessary sacrifices. One way is not to ENDURE - as long as it is within our power. It's a path towards freedom. I don't live: around malicious people, amidst the crowd, among exhaust fumes... Zero advertising, both outside and inside, no television, no more anxiety-inducing journalists: I seek out the news myself, in short, everything deserves to be desired and not endured. Personally, I left everything behind and came to settle (with my collective) at 1000 meters above sea level in a lunar landscape where you find 1.2 inhabitants per square kilometer, a sort of little Mongolia where the blowing wind is "harsh and strong." A return to silence and the essentials. I feel alive, in harmony with the elements and with myself.

Your idea of misery ::
La première idée qui me vient, en tant qu'occidentale issue d'un pays riche, est la misère intellectuelle.
Puis vient l'autre misère, ces réalités économiques et sanitaires qui sont à l'autre bout du monde et qui nous dépassent.

/ The first idea that comes to mind - as a Westerner from an affluent country - is intellectual poverty. 
Then comes the other misery, those economic and health-related realities that are on the other side of the world and surpass us.

Mykel Boyd (°1970, Kankakee, IL) makes sound recordings, conceptual artworks, photos, installations and films. By experimenting with aleatoric processes, Boyd creates work in which a fascination with the clarity of content and an uncompromising attitude towards conceptual and minimal art can be found. The work is aloof and systematic and a cool and neutral imagery is used.

His practice provides a useful set of allegorical tools for manoeuvring with a pseudo-minimalist approach in the world of conceptual art: these meticulously planned works resound and resonate with images culled from the fantastical realm of imagination. With a subtle minimalistic approach, he formalizes the coincidental and emphasizes the conscious process of composition that is behind the seemingly random works. The thought processes, which are supposedly private, highly subjective and unfiltered in their references to dream worlds, are frequently revealed as assemblages.

His works feature coincidental, accidental and unexpected connections which make it possible to revise art history and, even better, to complement it. Combining unrelated aspects lead to surprising analogies. By applying abstraction, he creates intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles.

His works doesn’t reference recognisable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. Mykel has collaborated with many sound artists, most notable is his collaboration with seah as post doom romance.
Mykel Boyd currently lives and works in Bradley, IL.
