who's this guy?
Well it's kind of hard to choose a public person related with the music in general, there's a lot of names the come to my mind to write about them, for example trumpeters like Markus Stockhausen or Alison Balsom, or maybe some great composers that i enjoy listening his music like Claude Debussy, Toru Takemitsu, Olivier Messiaen or Salvatore Sciarrino among others. But i think that in this moment i feel a kind of conection or respect about a musician that was part of the pop culture in his days and now he is realted (i think) with the career that i'm studying. He is Mark Hollis
Mark Hollis (1955 - 2919), the dude in the photo, was a musician part of the pop band of the '80 and the early '90 Talk Talk, the band is mostly knowing for that hit that crush in 1984 "It's my life" and they have a big succes in that time. But the ambition of Holli never was to be a pop star, he felt the music in other way that is most realted with the classical music or jazz, so, when Talk Talk had a big succes and had the aprobation of records company, EMI if i'm not wrong, he decided that the band has to recorded the next 2 album in a abandonend church, away from everything in England, the result is two amazing records "Spirit of Eden! (1988) and "Laughing Stock" (1991). In this tow records you can hear the influence of Morton Feldman, Claude Debussy, Miles Davis (in his electric era) among other composers and musicians. Finally in 1991 tha band split out and Mark Holllis published another record "Mark Hollis" in 1998 and that was the end of his public career in the music, he decided to disappear of the pop music and the mass media.
I think that his contribution is big because he aproaches the academy music (mostly contemporary) and the avant garde music to the pop culture, and in my case that i'm an student of music that enjoy the pop music and the music of the academy (that is the principal subject in the university) its fantastic, because i can see that all the music is the correct (not like some teachers or students says )
