Màxima minimalista (tal qual)

"Much of the work was mechanical, and because I was the servant of the text and not its creator, it demanded a different kind of energy from the one I had put into writing The Silent World. Translation is a bit like shoveling coal. You scoop it up and toss it into the furnace. Each lump is a word, and each shovelful is another sentence, and if your back is strong enough and you have the stamina to keep at it for eight or ten hours at a stretch, you can keep the fire hot. With close to a million words in front of me, I was prepared to work as long and as hard as necessary, even if it meant burning down the house."
Paul Auster, The Book of Illusions

Teitur


Ahir vaig veure i sentir aquest geni al Roter Salon (el vídeo pertany al concert d'ahir). Podria ser que aquest concert em canviés la vida. Potser no a gran escala, és cert, però sí que crec que ahir vaig aprendre algunes coses importants, especialment sobre la necessitat d'escoltar menys els altres i deixar-se ser més un mateix. Us recomano que us acosteu a la música de Teitur, que n'escolteu els discos, que el vegeu en directe si en teniu l'oportunitat. No us en penedireu. El seu darrer disc, "The Singer", és una meravella.
