Pleased to say that after TEN YEARS of Left Bank Magazine, I am migrating content to Substack. Plus also writing new content each week (a roundup of the best music, art, and literary I've seen that week) + a playlist, obviously.

We are beyond excited to premiere the catchy, summertime anthem ‘Vitamins’ by Berlin-based alt-pop singer-songwriter .

“Back in winter 2020 a friend of mine Hannah came to visit me in Berlin. We spent some time in my studio to record some double bass, and during that time we felt like writing a new song together. I rarely, mostly never write songs for my own project with others but it was lovely to write a song with one of my close friends. We wanted Vitamins to be a song to oneself, explaining to oneself how difficult it is sometimes to keep living up to your best self, and saying to oneself how much effort and energy one puts into keeping up with everything. We wanted it to be a fun song, and it still is very much to me. It’s light and easy, a song that’s supposed to help you get up in the mornings when you feel like you don’t want to get out of bed. I hope we succeed with that.“

“I believe that the practices of some individual artists can really be sustainable. Especially here in Portugal I have seen many nice examples when artists use organic materials (like soil or natural pigments, for example) as a medium to create their works. The overall art world on the other hand is oh so not sustainable. If we look at the big art fairs like Frieze and Venice Biennale – the waste of means is tremendous. I am not saying that they should not happen but definitely should be restructured. This all may have been improved a tiny bit during lockdowns when exhibitions moved online but even then, it was more like an illusion of an eco-friendly activity. So I can say that the art market is just as sustainable as any other kind of merchandise – which means that groundbreaking changes are needed in the way we function as a society. It starts on a personal level with realising the interconnectivity of everything and being conscious about decisions and actions”

“To me nature is the purest source for creation. Many artists choose to reference architecture or some past artists’ works and it is a fair approach, but it just doesn’t work that well for me, I am looking for something that is ‘more untouched’, that carries less of a human-made structure. I know this can sound contradictory, so it is better if I give a practical example of my interaction with nature”
