A Love Supreme with Dae Bryant
Talking to Dae feels like rewiring my thoughts. When he described the connection between philosophy and music, I immediately related to his lived experience. He is someone who is creating his own way of living.
人生はアートですが、私たちはどうすればアーティストのように世界の中で生きられるのでしょうか?
「アーティストの生き方」は、創作の実践を時間をかけて形づくる日々の現実、課題、選択を見つめます。これらの物語は、プロセス、天職、コミュニティ、レジリエンス、そしてアーティストが意味ある人生を支え続ける多様な方法を探り、アートを生きたものとして立ち上げ、世界と誠実で創造的に関わりながら生きるための例を示します。

私はスーフィーの旋回グループで、唯一の子どものメンバーになりました。そこで「サマ」に出会いました。「サマ」は「聴くこと」と訳され、私の経験では、より深いつながりを得るために注意を向け直すことを含みます。

自分が作家になりたいと気づいたとき、コミック批評は私が生涯をかけて培ってきた視点の出口となりました。2019年、ダニエル・エルキン、アレックス・ホフマン、ライアン・キャリー、そして私の4人でフィールドマウス・プレス(Fieldmouse Press)を設立しました。

When we last talked on Zoom, he said something that stayed with me: artists have to find their own way to live because no two lives unfold the same way. In this interview, Paul repeated that the essence of life is a long chain of decisions made based on one's own aesthetic sense, and that is what it means to be an artist.

No one ever actually told me how to live as a musician. There are many ways, and you have so much freedom to create your own way. And that’s not easy because the choices are endless. So, I started this series of interviews to ask my friends how they live as artists. This first interview was with Todd Marston, my long-time friend and a keyboard player, composer, and educator.
