Art and music. Thinking about art and music as 2 different, unrelated terms is interesting. Not in ways where some say they are the same exact thing, but in a way that the way I define art is a self-expression made tangible. Be it Music, painting, digital art, or even writing, they are all forms of art, each in their own way, and each intertwines together in some way or another.

Close links between music and visual arts are not only to be observed in the works of musicians/artists trained in several disciplines. An interest in the respective other art form undoubtedly went hand in hand with the explicitly interdisciplinary questions that became increasingly frequent, in particular in the context of the emergence of abstraction in painting and later in film.

The quote above explains a lot about what it means to be an artist, what it means to be led by a creative outburst, and what it means to be yourself in a different light combining, techniques to make a boom.

Personalities

One thing that really stood out to me, however, is personality/self-expression, or publicity and method of publicity. I feel like, personally, when I think about funky, crazy, or cool, I will not think about a writer or a poet, it will usually be an artist, a dancer, or a musician. However, looking into it a little bit deeper, Any artist is someone who spends life looking for an untraditional way of self-expression, a writer, however, would not interact with the crowd, or the people as much, others have a form of self-expression that shares with those around them, that makes them stand out, look different, or mostly be themselves in a world where they don’t care about judgment.

SO WE DID

Art, as I said, I feel is a form of self-expression, the author talked often about weird paths that artists took, about personalities they chose at a time of the day when they get to be a different version of themselves,

For a whole series of artist-musicians/musician-artists, the principle that a good punk song only needed three chords applied just as much as the do-it-yourself attitude.

They started punk, they forgot rules, prevented disciplines from holding them back, and helped the hidden parts in themselves show.

Artists will use whatever they have, from technology to music to text, material, code, and junk, to find expression and creation, that is what I see an artist as, and it will forever remain interesting how different everyone will combine the tools they have. From visuals to music, we all find the room we want to grow in. And it will always remain interesting that one day, music and art weren’t one from the other; that is the only way I can see it today.
