    Anton is great .One of those tormented souls that know something that nobody else know. A truly mad genius, , a talented clown finding ways to deal with his existence, making happy, and pissing off, people, bringing beauty and pleasure, pain and MISUNDERSTANDING to this world. The universe had blessed him.
    THANK YOU, ANTON!

    It's good to see how despite the interviewer trying to narrow things down it stays out of the lines like. His mind is drifting like how it does when you're inside live sound. The sound pulls you places. Creative state. I hope they make it to Brooklyn! I'm looking forward to seeing them.

    I love that boasting, playful part of Anton's personality. Yah he's pissed, but he's pure. I don't think he drinks these days, which is cool if that's his choice and is true.. and omg the accent he has here is gold. Aw Anton, you charmer.

    @jcostello117 I totally agree with your reply to 3daysAFTER4. It's easy to be critical of others but most of the time these same people should cast that critical eye over their own life. Everybody is flawed in their own way and Anton is no different but at least he has the consolation of being a great songwriter and musician. Also I don't think anybody could accuse him of being fake, it seems to me that he is as real as it gets nowadays..

  • @bveracka
    @bveracka Před 6 měsíci

    Not caring about what _anyone_ thinks - *_pure artistic volition_* - is Anton's "special sauce". Yeah, you can make jokes about drugs (totally fair), and he's writes good songs and plays his instruments well, but it's _volition_ that makes him better than your average musician. Most composing musicians constantly question their own music, but Anton doesn't.
