MARK HOLLIS & Talk Talk: The DOORS Influence, A Very Personal View

   

I invited my old buddy Jim Morrison on my new video.

The creating process. I've been searching for the link between Fine Art and Music during a very long time. Now, I am searching for the links between my two main sources of inspiration. 

Mark Hollis and Jim Morrison are so different as persons, that it is hard to believe that they could meet somewhere in Music. Jim Morrison, in his lyrics, described the visions he may have had, as a Shaman, during his psychedelic trances, going back to the most primitive and raw aspect of Humanity.

Mark Hollis is a giver and has offered us a divine Love through his Music. I receive it loud and clear.

Such a difference between the both! 

But still, both are, were searching for a piece of Truth, for a form of sincerity.

They have in common to have not sold themselves, to be very picky about their creative choices, both are, were, extremely talented, both said not to have an extended knowledge in Music when they started their career. 

Both disappeared abruptly: one died near my home in Paris, and was buried a few streets further, the other one retired without a warning or almost, and came haunting my dreams with his Music. 

Both are fascinating characters! 

But Jim committed a kind of suicide while Mark decided to save his life. 

Really not the same approach!

Jim Morrison disappeared way before I could even honor his work, I was still a child when he died. That is probably why I don't want to miss any chance to honor Mark's career, artists should be really appreciated and admired while they are still alive.

I am grateful to admire someone who is somehow my age, and still well alive.

Wish I can learn the most from him.

Mark Hollis JOHN COPE Or How To Make Love to Music, The Doors, Talk Talk

       

A place where Talk Talk and The Doors meet.

How could I avoid
such a song where the two artists who inspired me the most for my
paintings, and who have been somehow mentors to me, find a common point
in the Blues and Jazz creation? I fell in Love with this song the first
time I listened to it. No surprise, John Cope reminds me the Music,
which made me , during my childhood, a kind of artist.
I am still
creating today because many years ago, I heard an organ, and guitars,
and percussion, and voices which overwhelmed me. I’ve been lost in the
meantime. But now, it is more than time for me to accomplish what I was
meant for, by hoping  I will have the time...
