TR ISSUE Three: editing Beta release(s)

Merhaba!I am back from Turkey where I had amazing chances to dive into the ancient culture of a modern country: meet old & new friends! Naturally, I am now selecting & organizing all the raw materials I got back from my experience. Plus I am painting new mixed-media canvas and acrylics on cardboard. And promising sinergies make me think this issue is gonna be amazing. I am currently editing the Beta release(s) of TR3, thus if you got pics, art, video, music, stories/poetry about Istanbul & Turkey...please let me know about it!

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...

And things of small concern should be taken very seriously."

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?

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.!

Ready, Steady, Evolve!

Hi everybody,
right now I am almost at the very end of my corporate experience in Rome: a dense and deep full immersion in corporate dynamics and culture.
I wanna thank everybody that I met along my journey, and Thank All for all the teachings and take-aways I come out with. Grazie.
Now, it is time to move and evolve to new challenges and consciousness.
Now it is time to set new goals and plan brand new Ventures.
Every end is a beginning, noh?
In the meantime, I am gonna take a break...
See You Real Soon!

P.S. Special thanks to my friend Ciccio!

Ciao a Tutti,
al momento ho quasi terminato la mia esperienza aziendale a Roma: una densa e ricca immersione nelle dinamiche e nella cultura aziendale. Voglio ringraziare tutte le persone che ho incontrato lungo il mio cammino per gli insegnamenti che ho ricevuto e capitalizzato. Grazie.
Ora è tempo di cambiare ed evolvere verso nuove sfide e consapevolezze.
Ora è tempo di definire nuovi traguardi e pianificare nuove Imprese.
Ogni fine è un inizio, no?
Nel frattempo, mi prendo una bella vacanza...
A Presto!
