What A Birthday Invite Is Supposed To Look Like

Shaman Winter

of an interview with Enrique Symns:
"" Look, there are two different things: one is the office and another to be an artist. To be an artist is to be a hero, shaman and creator. The hero is what you equal to the everyday, to be shaman have to love others and to be creative you have to have talent. Without these three things can not be an artist. The rest is trade. Egberto Gismonti told he was going to the jungle, most unknown to boredom, to steal sounds. That once a tribe comes back in the Mato Grosso, and he at one time he starts to play the guitar. Go all away from him, get back and start clapping, then he asks what went wrong. The shaman looks at him and says: "When a shaman [they do not call it artist] begins to investigate the mystery, let him alone, you have to give back and cheer to the jungle to frighten off evil spirits." Gismonti then says: "When the applause turned and walked toward me, invested in witchcraft, now I'm the bad spirit, everything that happens on stage is a curse."







the book "To hell with culture" of Herbert Read:
"Society expects that the artist expresses something more than his ego and in the case of the great artists that I mentioned, it gets it. Get what you might call expression life, but "life" that has to express, life, indeed, express the great art, is precisely that of the community, organizational awareness of the group. The mission of the artist lies in giving the group conscious of their unity, their community. And you can do because you have access, in a much more penetrating than other men-a collective unconscious, the instincts of the group that lie beneath the fragile surface of the conventional and normal. I do not know why the artist has the gift, nor know what has absolute pitch and others. Perhaps the same is formed in childhood, in the course of their adaptation to society, complicated process that slowly rebuilding is psychoanalysis. Whatever the explanation, the role of the artist in modern society resembles that of the healer or the witch in primitive societies: the man who acts as an intermediary between our individual consciousness and the collective unconscious, which ensures the re -social integration.
