@eldsjal The cost of YOU creating any content is zero; that is the correct statement, Daniel

Today, with the cost of creating content being close to zero, people can share an incredible amount of content. This has sparked my curiosity about the concept of long shelf life versus short shelf life. While much of what we see and hear quickly becomes obsolete, there are timeless ideas or even pieces of music that can remain relevant for decades or even centuries. For example, we’re witnessing a resurgence of Stoicism, with many of Marcus Aurelius’s insights still resonating thousands of years later. This makes me wonder: what are the most unintuitive, yet enduring ideas that aren’t frequently discussed today but might have a long shelf life? Also, what are we creating now that will still be valued and discussed hundreds or thousands of years from today?

@midgeure1 You’d love to meet her. Such a genuine and lovely woman, apart from the absolute genius she’ll always be.

Wow!

@FernandaFreitas Alguém tem de o fazer (limpar)… e já deram muito jeito ao Markl (verdade)

What!?!

Triste sina, a de nos tornarmos gigantes quando temos 7 palmos de terra em cima de nós.

@Marta_Salogni @mattcolton You are the brightest star on this work. Thank you for a stunning sonic imagery

Depeche Mode’s Memento Mori is out today! May it fly high and proud. Thank you James, Dave and Martin for making me a part of this beautiful journey together. I’m very grateful and honoured Thank you to the whole team behind DM, a truly wonderful family Masters by @mattcolton

@robinrimbaud @ryuichisakamoto Eno & Fripp?

@alexfx @ryuichisakamoto I remember all of those but much too cinematic for the piece I'm trying to locate. Thanks anyhow too!

Memory trigger time. Listening to @ryuichisakamoto beautiful new album '12,' the track '20220202' is bringing up such vivid memories of a haunting piece of electronic music I listened to endlessly in the late 1970s/early 80s. Any suggestions please? open.spotify.com/track/6DxUMCX5…

@davidsylvian58 You spoil us so lovely, every single time. Hope to find you well. Much love, David. You are very cherished

@davidsylvian58 Much love, David!

@robinrimbaud Thanks for bringing this up Robin. Dare to say you (alongside Sylvian and Sakamoto) are the main reason I’m still around here on Twitterland.

A very interesting article about the role and imbalances for working class people in the arts, something that is rarely touched upon in funding and support, for example. theguardian.com/culture/2022/d…

@thegiftband @casadamusica Obrigado pelo privilégio de assistir a esta obra maior! Foi verdadeiramente avassalador. 🤍

E esta vista do Porto? obrigado a todos os que esgotaram a @casadamusica. Que noite tão avassaladora. ❤️

Fiz um esforço (relativo) em permanecer no Twitter, em boa parte devido a uma série de pessoas que somente lhes apanhava o rasto aqui. O que presencio agora é um acidente em câmara lenta, a permitir ver todas as perspectivas dos danos. Como diz o outro: fui!

@SoVeryBritish I beg your pardon?

What’s the most British question?

@robinrimbaud @HSBC Say what?

Less than two hours after finally being able to fully access my @hsbc Business account, a fraudster pretending to be HSBC Business Dept calls me. This is exhausting…

@robinrimbaud @HSBC_UK I’m sorry, I haven’t made myself clear about the initial intent of my question. I knew you were coming for Semibreve (unfortunately I’ll be unable to attend); I just thought you were living and working here now :) All the best, man

@alexfx @HSBC_UK Yes I’m Braga for Semibreve Festival

I've been the victim of a horrible bank scam with @HSBC_UK - I've spent now 6 hours on the phone whilst overseas trying to resolve this, and whilst doing so, the scammers have managed to siphon £9000 out of my savings, and I am still on hold. "Your call is important to us..." 🥺

It’s been such a delight to hear your voice again today at BBC6. This was done with all the love and care for you, @davidsylvian58 - Emily Dickinson (Recomposed by Alex FX) youtu.be/hYJFpd5xyhg via @YouTube

@davidsylvian58 @maryannehobbs Forever in my heart and mind.
