One-Day Guest : Michael Muller from Balmorhea
—————————————
We’ve asked Michael Muller to do a selection of three of his favourite videos. Here’s what he answered :
“I highly treasure and constantly seek out and research new music, film, literature and any other all-encompassing venues for expression of creativity and beauty in the arts. The following three selections are some of my favourite musicians and have kept in mind a simplistic nostalgia and fresh realism that I find very rich with intrigue. Each not overstated, but au contraire, rather subtly arranged and choreographed. Sandwiched between is an excerpt of a documentary where Monsieur Part explains with great tact the basic components of one of his compositions.
I hope you enjoy. “
