All over the place on the finish of time by The Caretaker
Leyland Kirby, aka The Caretaker, made ambient music that explored reminiscence and was imagined to sound just like the development of dementia. Listening to it’s a very haunting and delightful and unhappy, cathartic expertise—excellent for a second spent alone.

The Metropolis of Tomorrow by Le Corbusier
I learn this e-book a couple of months in the past and liked it a lot. Le Corbusier was an architect and metropolis planner from Switzerland (who moved to France in 1917), actually some of the well-known architects of all time, however the world of structure is new to me and thrilling, so studying about his philosophies and studying alongside as he builds this imaginary—however actual!—utopian Paris was such a enjoyable journey. And among the issues he says, design-wise, are so easy and straightforward sufficient to by no means consider, like a straight line is for enterprise and a wavy line is leisure.
I like to recommend checking your native bookstore first earlier than ordering it on Amazon, however right here’s the link anyway.
An Introduction to Zen Buddhism by D.T. Suzuki
I used to be planning on studying a distinct e-book by him, one thing much less introductory, I figured: I learn, I may deal with it, however in actuality, this was the proper first step right into a realm that I knew/know nothing about. And what a gentle, pillowy first step it was. That’s to not say the e-book wasn’t complicated; it was wildly complicated, however that’s type of the center of Zen, if I perceive it appropriately (which I don’t). One plus one doesn’t must equal two. For those who’re on a bridge with a river beneath it, it’s not the river flowing however the bridge.

Just about any film by Hong Sang-soo
My private favourite is The Novelist’s Movie however Grass is sweet too, so is On the Seashore at Night time Alone, and plenty of extra. The normally encompass quite a lot of consuming and ingesting and speaking about love and relationships, artwork, getting older, you understand, typical human focal factors. “Tender” is how I’d describe a majority of his movies.
