Everyone of us has favorite movies, books, music. I don’t know about everybody, but I have the best of my favorite books I’ve ever read. The book I called universal. The book about everything. Of course this book not about everything in the world, but about every primary thing for any person. It concerns the most important questions, eternal human issues. Moreover, this book can’t be attributed to any single literature genre. It masterfully brings together many elements of different genres. And finally one of the most important qualities of that book – the narrative on important and complex topics with easy, clever tongue without a shadow of mentoring or snobbery. I read this book for the first time when I was 16. Since that time I’ve reread it for… it’s difficult to say how many times exactly, but it has no need – it’s not important. The really important thing is that every time I open it again I find its new facets, new questions and answers. Knowing everything I mentioned above I still think it is the best book I’ve ever read, universal book. About a month ago I have been lucky to watch the film of the same kind. “Interstellar” by Christopher Nolan. No, the film has nothing to do with the book I’ve talked about. But when I was in the cinema I had forgotten about everything in the world for two and a half hours. And I had been completely immersed in the story and reflections. All those issues that occupying my mind, exciting my imagination for the last couple of decades – it all raised in the film. And just twenty minutes passed since the beginning of the movie I realized that I have waited not in vain its release for one and a half year. I do sincerely believe that night I watched the best film I’ve ever seen. A universal movie. A movie about everything. Of course this film not about everything in the world, but about every primary thing for any thinking and feeling person. The film concerning almost any eternal issue and masterfully bringing together different genres. The soundtrack is great too, of course. I guess any picturegoer knows the name of Hans Zimmer. And if you listen to this music and think it’s not good it would mean you still haven’t seen the film. To my opinion this music as so organically fits in the video and the events on the screen as it possible. Probably one of the reason is that Zimmer had composing even without watching the film. He just sounded the main themes he has...

Well, let’s get started! First of all I would like to beg your pardon about my English. It’s not my native language and despite I have studied it for a long time (and I’m still studying) I’m sure I make some mistakes. So, excuse me. I’ll do my best. On this page with very ingenious name “blog” 🙂 I suppose to write different notes. The case is what I’m not interested in writing about myself or my life. And I think you will hardly interested in reading it because I’m not a some kind of celebrity! 🙂 Therefore, the texts I’m going to lay out here can be contingently sorted in several groups: 1) articles about music and/or musicians with attached audio or video to hear or to watch; 2) notes about various appearances of life… I guess better to say my thoughts about these appearances (for example about love, about patriotism, about belief etc.); 3) articles about different interesting things (for example what could mean words “Et in Arcadia ego”); 4) may be a couple of articles about my favorite photographers; 5) and probably I’ll write some news about my life or activity if I think it’ll be important or interesting for visitors 🙂 There will be no sorting of the articles in fact. I will just write subheadings for each one. Hope I interested you in 🙂 See you! Photo by Denis Churin...
