As I live in suburbian bliss, with lots of green and space and (relatively) fresh air, I sometimes get the feeling of having dozed off. I love it here, but I am also a bit of a city boy. So, sometimes I need to go and wander the streets in the city. Big city, small city, doesn't matter. What matters is the clash of everything: a vagabond asking for money right next to the line for the Louis Vuitton flagship store, the modern architecture next to the centuries old building, the art in upscale galleries and world famous museums right next to the latest piece of that upcoming street artist, the rickety bike waiting at a traffic light next to the shiny Lamborghini Urus. The hustle and the bustle. The businesswomen and men and the tourists. It makes you feel alive. And sometimes, I need to get that fix.

How about you?

When looking for something to share in this part of the newsletter, I came across this amazing musical compostiont which is not inly inpsired by city life, but also incorporates city sounds in the performance.
