Supernova

On December 26, 2021 By estrangedztIn art, life, movies, musicLeave a comment

Supernova is a star that reaches its peak and explodes into billions of small particles that will become life in another part of the cosmos.
This film takes us on a journey of love, sharing, remembering, wanting, leaving… And it leads us to an interior supernova.
A beautiful and pure love written in the stars of the night, in the Milky Way that not only encompasses the heavenly vault but is also inscribed in the core of each one of us!
The beauty of the photography in this film is idyllic, the landscapes are breathtaking, so beautiful and poetic the way they are screened to us and the soundtrack lulls us into a story shared by the road not only of the journey itself but also of the journey of Life!
The intensity of the story is sometimes stifling, as we feel so much in the skin of each of the protagonists, Sam and Tusker!
The brilliant work of the actors, Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci is chilling… The faithful delivery of a story that can be as real as it is vivid!
A delight and a grip are feelings that pervade us at the end of this film.
I do recommend it.

“We will not starve for lack of wonders, but from lack of wonder.”
Tusker

Sunday morning, brings the dawn in
It’s just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It’s just the wasted years so close behind

A place in Peru

In a place in Peru, there is a surprising landscape of salt terraces, they are “Las Salinas de Maras”.
Their exploitation is as old as the Inca empire and they are located on the side of a hill in the “Sacred Valley”. The name of the salt flats in Quechua is *Kachi Raqay* and it is made up of about five thousand pools of about 5 square meters each, the water is filtered in the pools and evaporates by the action of the intense sun, causing the crystals of coarse salt to sprout. After 1 month the salt reaches 10 cm tall and has to be harvested.

In one part of Peru, there are some islands built with totora, where a community lives whose origins date back to times before the Incas: they are the Floating Islands of San Pedro de Kapi in Lake Titicaca, home to the Uros. They are located in the Bay of Puno and there are about 20. Each one is inhabited by 3 to 10 Uro-Aymara families, who build and roof their houses with reed mats, as well as make the islands. The Uros call themselves *kotsuña*, “the lake people”, and maintain the tradition of artisanal fishing, especially karachi and silverside, as well as hunting wild birds.

In a place in Peru, there is a place of visual magnificence: it is the Cordillera Huayhuash, legendary for being the source of the mighty Amazon. It has peaks that rise above 6,600 m, the Huayhuash is a compact range of 20 main mountains knotted by the blue of the glacial ice and beautiful lakes. It is considered the best place in the world for Andean trekking. A trip around the entire circuit is 170 kilometers of hard walking.

Woodstock 99: Peace, Love and Rage

On December 13, 2021 By estrangedztIn art, documentary, Education, history, life, music, WorldLeave a comment

Music has and will always be the art that can bring people together, make them feel unified, and believe in themselves…

Watching this documentary blew my mind… How can something so pure become this rage, this warzone that Woodstock99 became?!…

Everyone who enjoys music must watch this documentary, so each one can have a possibility of questioning itself about these facts, this monstrosity, this need to rage against each other… And finally, see it as the documentary it is, about a specific festival, and what should never ever happen again!

Let love rule with music, always!

There’s a festival grounds in Germany, it was literally built by Hitler. And we’ve played there a bunch of times, it’s a great venue, lots of fun. The airbase was less hospitable than the venue built by Nazis.

Jagged

An astonishing trip back to the mid-’90s, with the one and only Alanis Morissette!

Watching this documentary was a thrilling experience… Hearing these tunes brought me back to a bunch of thrilling moments lived, laughed, cried, screamed at that particular point of my life!

She deserved every single love given by her fans, for she opened her heart with us all and gave a soundtrack to moments that made us who we are today!

It was a trip watching her backstory up until the moment Jagged little pill was written!

Girl power, no doubt about it, but foremost, pure energy transformed into timeless music!

Thank you very much, Alanis!

You nailed it!

You won!
