An artist that I admire

Screencaps from "True Stories" 1985, directd and starring David Byrne.

David Byrne is a multidisciplinary artist best known for being the founder member and songwriter-singer of Talking Heads (1975-1991). He is 64 now and his artistic work goes from music to film and poetry. I truly admire artist that doesnt stay just in one area and they mix different media to do something. In the case of Byrne he takes music as a base to explore with stage performance as an audiovisual experience, including elements from theathre and finally doing conceptual music, entering in the different layers that sound can offer. Other thing that I really love about him is that he works with a lot of artist; doing collaborations is something that I also try to do as a creative individual. In 2012 he did and entire album with St Vincent, which is one of my favourite musicians too, and listen them together was amazing because Annie Clark (St Vincent) is 33 and the possibility of the collaboration beyond age limits really inspired me. He also writes theory in a book called How music works, and he talks about technology, history and future related to music, which is very interesting to read if you know his work.
