What to make of this?

How to live?

Our eternal questions.

No body can advise you and help you, nobody. There is only one way. Go into yourself. Examine the reason that bids you to write; check whether it reaches its roots into the deepest region of your heart, admit to yourself whether you would die if it should be denied you to write. - Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

In a way, Balse is a research institute. In another, simply an experience of life, the NOW.

How I feel. The simple thoughts from my everyday, through photography and words.

Here are some words that come to mind: inspiration, style, passion.

Things are not all as graspable and sayable as on the whole we are led to believe; most events are unsayable, occur in a place that no word has ever penetrated, and most unsayable of all are works of art, mysterious existences whose life endures alongside ours, which passes away. - Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Key areas of research are:

  • Art, Music, and History

  • Philosophy

  • Environment

From ancient to contemporary.

What we consume, how we spend time, shapes us. Consume less, consume consciously.

A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity. The verdict on it lies in this nature of its origin: there is no other.

Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Follow the fun. Experience the world - LIFE.

With your needle, feel the groove - Focus.

Signal - seek with heart - Phono stage.

Find your message, expand with light - amplification.

Energy, vibration, form, harmony, emotion, being, breath in, and breathe out - Sound.

Now - DANCE.

Life.

What is Balse?

What is the word ‘Balse’?

‘Balse’ is the spell of destruction and rebirth, used at the pivotal moment in the animation film Castle in the Sky. It is the symbol of creation and destruction. It is the last resort to protect the castle. We see a message towards us humans and the delicate balance of nature.
