Jonathan Halper - Leaving My Old Life Behind /I am a Hermit

singing this way, poetic and not in commercial convenience nor simplification, a song becomes Art as ancient poetry could have been, I saw the Kenneth Anger short film and heard the two songs by Jonathan Halper in 1998, in video tape brought by a friend from a distant town, another young artist those times.

so impressed, by the song and the particular visual issue of Anger, that the words of Halper became prophetic to me, I had these year already stopped watching TV and I was so determined to true art, very different of "communication" the way employment wanted artist to serve "society"
