Back to the Roots. Ritorno alle Origini.

Pensa Globalmente, Agisci Localmente, eh?
Ho deciso di lanciare una promozione estiva all'interno del processo "Ritorno alle Origini" che costituisce la vera essenza di Tribal Realities...coinvolgendo prima di tutto gli attori e le comunità locali più vicine a me.
Vi invito a beneficiare della session gratuita di orientamento che vi introdurrà ad una migliore comprensione del mio personale modus operandi e ad informazioni più dettagliate su sessions individuali, stages e workshops che si svolgono nel mio casale nel Cuore Verde dell'Umbria: Collelungo, San Venanzo (TR).

Vi Ringrazio,
Marco

My Favourite Reflection

This world wide web is amazing!
Makes you wanna share visions with your favourite kindred spirits
and creatively co-develop the former with the latter inna click of the mouse style.
Check out my friend Aras blog where soccer, poetry and real life blend into an original straight-to-the-point writing style.
Commenting my Full-ness of Empty-ness post and related mixed media work, he came up with interesting insights.
Check it out!

Small Things are plenty of meaning...

Framing a Vision

I think the key to success in life is about the willpower to persistently and consistently frame one's vision.
Make it happen. Everyday.

Caption:this is my latest LandArt installation, it is called Shakkei.
Shakkei is one of the ancient principles of the Japanese Art of Gardening.
It may be translated into English with the term "borrowed scenery".
Japan was a life-changing experience to me.
Hence, Japanese civilization keeps on inspiring me.
Nature inspires me and teaches me.Continuously.
My personal vision is that Nature is a Divine Work of Art. How about yours?

SAI (Search And Improve) Studios

Yeah!This summer sooo many things happened in here...more when I am gonna see y'all for real. Yesterday it was my bday and I have been playing all the day...back and forth against the needle, t-table to mixer... to synth to tabla to piano.
Now I am playing REAL piano for REAL.
Tuning to Higher Vibes, seeking the Ultimate Frequencies inna SAI "Search And Improve" style!Where?
There!There it is my lil' fancy studio!
Lotta Luv to my friends from India and Indiana.



See me above? I am looking for that Ultimate Frequencies...

Hate It Or Love It, I Do My Thing. And Pretty Loud.

Whazzup everybody?
I am chilling here in San Venanzo. Working pretty hard and I just produced a new song - originally composed to celebrate my friend Nyasha's graduation - which, right now is in the international charts at http://www.garageband.com/artist/saiselecta

You know, sometimes it is so hard to get feedback from people around you. Now I got honest reviews from professional musicians. Definitely.
Hence, I can better understand my strong/weak points and improve...inna "ready, steady, evolve and solve" style.

So, once again, a new chance/challenge. A new playground. It's been several years since I realized the main pattern of my life:
"I am coming from far away, I am going far away".

And I chose to follow My Path. Some people find it irritating, some people support me.But, you know,
Hate it or Love it, I Do My Thing. And Pretty Loud.

Future is moving from 'Here' to 'There'.
On a Fast Track.
Evolution. Paradigm Shift.
Ready, Steady, Evolve and Solve.
I Guess 'There'is Where I Wanna Go.
and Show & Prove My Voice, My Choice, What I am, Understand?

Taxus Baccata: Mission Accomplished!

Ciao a tutti!
MI sono trasferito nel mio casale (Todi)e mi sto godendo le bellezze della Vita in campagna, tra le quali, piantare un nuovo alberello che crescerà longevo e possente per molti molti anni. In letteratura ho trovato diversi esempi in questo senso:in Europa ci sono diversi esempi di taxus b. con più di 1500 anni di età, e nel Derbyshire ne esisteva uno la cui età era stimata, nel 1897, di circa 2096 anni!Dunque, penso che il nostro bell'alberello abbia buone possibilita di sfidare secoli,millenni ed eoni, che ne dite?

Special Thanx to Special friends: Alessandra, Laura, Manuela & Silvia!

Hi everybody!
I am finally enjoying country-Life and now I got a brand new tree, see?
Long life to this wonderful Taxus B.!
