art as escape from distractions

Описание: A 15:00-minute long portal to get away from the world.


"I couldn't imagine a life in which I would not be surrounded by music, which shelters you from the world, which protects you and keeps you at the certain distance from the world.
because, I think, that the only advantage that any artist has, anything that any artist can read or write about, all artists do, even if they know it or not - is that distance from the world. "

-Glenn Gould
