This was beautiful. You captured the magic of being there so well. And you really broke down what David means to so many of us. Thank you!
I had a feeling I'd find you here :) I bet you're excited about his entire catalogue getting vinyl pressings through House of Mythology.
@@maxheilman5314 I'm very excited for other people who have been trying to get their hands on that stuff. I already have all of the stuff I really want. But...you know how it goes...I'll probably still end up buying some of it. Haha.
Tibet really is an inspiration. I have a soft spot for pretentious occult/esoteric/visionary artists even tho they can be annoying to be around, but Tibet is very down to earth and very humble. And I really wish he'd do a cover of California Dreamin.
I would like to hear him sing I know an old lady that swallowed a fly
"sell all you have, give it to the kitties" is probably the most beautiful thing ever written by a human being :) and california dreamin cover would truly be something, that song is just so pure, its actually rare a piece of "normal", commonly known music is like this. its amazing that so much of the music made by current 93, which is usually considered something dark is actually soothing on a similar level, despite one might consider them being literally like day vs night :) coil can do that too, even if generally even more "tainted", its hard to put in words but i think you know what i mean ;)
Nice to hear your nice thoughs.
I was blown away when I read this exhibition was gonna be 5 minutes away from me. I went twice. First day David was there and it was such amazing to be in his presence ! What a great body of work. I will never forget it. Beautiful documentary !
What's the name of the gallery?
I think Tibet is on point here. He isn't a hero that puts himself on top of a pedestal, he is just as lost as everyone else and accepts it. If you gave people the ability to do a similar grand scale of art you would notice the similarities in the simplicity. If I sat down in this moment and started painting, I would make an odd character that expresses what I thought in that moment. It's up to peoples imagination to judge what it represents.
I finally understand all the talk of red houses and red barns
I remember this skinny youngster hangin out at TG/PTV gigs!!
Tibet is one of the most singular artists that the UK has produced. I have got so much from his work, it has broadened my horizons on not just music but literature and religion too. Thank for you for the film.
Good grief! My old flatmate has come far over the years. I think perhaps his greatest achievement for a bibliomaniac like me may be his unearthing of the work of decadent poet and storyteller Count Stenbock, and his publishing of beautiful editions of writers like Ron Weighell, possibly our greatest modern exponent of occult fiction. Most people watching probably know Tibet through his music, but he has more strings to his bow.
@skinny from the south I was pleased to see Blood Meridian on your list. I love the weird stories of Reggie Oliver and Ron Weighell, and Susanna Clarke's huge Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is a masterpiece - it reads like 18th century prose with occult footnotes. Her new novel Piranesi is much shorter but just as uniquely bizarre. Colin Wilson was a lifelong influence on me - his book The Occult is a good starting place. And the strange works of vampire expert and ghostly anthologist Montague Summers have been an obsession of mine for years. Bibliomania is better than opiates! If you want tales by an old master of the genre, the short stories of Marjorie Bowen can't be beaten for originality. Good hunting.
We’re you a flat mate with David Tibet??
@@DuskAndHerEmbrace13 Yes, I rented him a room when I was living in Primrose Hill back in the day. Sadly Ron Weighell who I mentioned that Tibet published passed away recently.
It’s coming up on 30 years since I discovered Current 93. It fills my heart with joy to see his whole artistry beyond music celebrated in such a manner.
"I havent got aa fucking clue." :D . This was great. Thank you. I've been listening to and appreciating Tibets' work for over 30 years now, my god where does it all go ?
I don't listen to Current 93 as much as I used to fifteen or so years ago, but I have great memories of those days. I really like David Tibet's current look, like some kind of punk mystic. God bless this man, because he sure is one of this world's living luminaries.
I'm almost glad that I didn't get to see the exhibit, I would've been weeping the entire time...David and his musical work has been a part of my life for over 30 years, I found myself tearing up through most of this video!
Indeed. David aided me in Realization whether he realizes it or not. Not as a guru but as a fellow.
i had exactly the same feeling - thanks. terrible „documentary“ - post-knowledge, post-brain, post-everything
I feel the same way. I listen to David's music every day, and I'm transported to another realm....Sometimes beautiful, sometimes a bit frightening, sometimes even silly and funny. The music chosen for this exhibition is one of my daily listens. It takes me to my favourite realm, the eerie and mysterious.
This was awesome. I think part of my interest in Tibet is trying to make sense of his person and what he believes when it all comes down to it. In a lot of ways, I think my wanderings through his art are reflective of how he views himself and his art-as a ponderous wander through the obscure and the divine. It's reassuring, in a sense, that he himself is unsure as to where his paintings and songs actually come from. Sometimes I feel like I'll drive myself crazy trying to see what I'm lead to believe he's seeing, but based on this documentary I see his work as a catalogue of his spiritual journey, both inward and outward.
The things he said about the "red barn" and especially the "red house" are especially heartbreaking to me. The way he's saying it make pretty clear that he seems to have gone through a lot. This shines an even more tragic and sinistet light on the overarching theme of lost innocence in his works.
This makes my heart smile
just realized i'm accidentally wearing an old Current 93 tee right now. It was good times back then. So, с днём рождения, Давид Кириллович!
I’m very thankful and grateful for David and his ideas and his art & work. He’s inspired me in many ways over the years. Just hearing him speak, his voice alone is so singular.
What a wonderful treat this Christmas morn! Captures the nebulous essence of what David's work means to me and so many others. Thank you!
So who is David Tibet? Well to me he is someone who struck chords in me which I didn't even know existed. Of course he is also an enigma. His work has always helped me and comforted me. And I find things in his works, things which most likely weren't even intended by him but they mean the world to me. Thank you for everything, David and all the best to you and yours
That's what I like to hear from the dude I used to swap mail with in the 80s!
Swapping phone bills?!
Ive loved Current 93 since the early 1990s. I love that David is still going strong :)
I was at university with someone who went to the same school as David he was an older man mature student doing a second degree, nice guy but I will say he was studying counselling because he wanted to help people, I'm not going to say what happened because of the nature of it but he works for a very specialist type of counselling now. On a more positive note I love his last line "I haven't got a fucking clue", It sums up his curiosity and playfulness as a person.
Is that the Red House school?
@@DuskAndHerEmbrace13 it was.
Everything makes sense now. This is the final piece of the puzzle.
Good documentary and it sheds some light on his lyrics.
Love his work (own one of his pieces myself) and an intriguing view into his mind.
I've been listening to Current 93's work since the beginning (I have a copy of that first Mi-Mort Current 93 -- Nw/W cassette, and I featured each new release on my radio show all through the 80s.) I've been affected by D. Tibet's visual art since it started to feature on Current 93 packaging. As the music has grown and taken on substance over these many years, the drawing, painting and photography (and combinations thereof) have done the same. His music, lyricism and visual art reveal several sides of the man's multi-faceted creative spirit. I'm grateful that people made his work available in a gallery setting and documented it. I look forward to revisiting this often. Also -- his unassuming and even self-deprecating manner is a far cry from all the self-aggrandizing and narcissistic divas who don't have the smallest fraction of Tibet's talent. I hope he'll be sharing his creative gifts with us for many years to come.
I met him in Berlin a few years ago. wanted to take a picture with me......such a genious and such a humble guy............
How meta, the exhibition of artwork is a piece of art itself - art made of art
Thank you so much for uploading this, complete.
Thank you so much for this absolutely beautiful documentary! A most rare and fascinating glimpse! Especially love the use of sound and music to emphasize the invisible. David is so magical and I feel that energies of humour, mystery, melancholy, eeriness and light and dark were all so deeply expressed and shown in this. Actually brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for creating and sharing it! Wonderful!
Thank you for posting this for all of us that could not attend and supporting a great artist! May the light of the spirit work in and through you!
Thank you for this film ! David Tibet is a real artist !
Infinite thanks to all the team involved in this documentary, such a great insight of David's essence.
Thank you so much for this, David Tibet is a wondrous and magical gift to us all and this documentary really captured that spirit. Thank you!
Thank you for allowing us to get a sense of what the exhibition might've felt like. His art and music have been very important to me and this is a wonderful supplement.
a document of an absolute genius in the best possible format.
What an amazing piece of work I was really moved!!
Its great to see him sharing his craft for us all to enjoy. Great documentary and I hope the exhibition was a success
That was great; thanks! Accessible, unpretentious, and a beautiful warm portrait of a very singular, inspiring human doggedly following his own star. And you've done it without in any way damaging or weakening the essential mystery of what pours through him. Nice one. Much love. X
Beautiful exhibition that plunges us into the unique universe of the poet.
Thank you for this opportunity to see and experience a sliver of a career of visionary artwork. I love the fact that true artists create what may be hard to view, difficult to listen too but a flow of beauty sits just below the surface and/or vice versa.
Some of that artwork looks powerful. I like David's energy.
A true genius with such a fascinating mind, this video is wonderful.
Muchas felicidades por la exposición y el documental, David Tibet es inmenso.
Oh man, i have not seen this documentary yet, but my love for David without ever meeting him is absurdly huge. Only through his work, the calm his work did in the hardest times and the ?not so hard times? - Is huge. His voice has been the calming force to better myself in the work over myself, to be calmer and better. And huge thanks is to him. David i love you, and not in the way of love that is restricted by sexual nature, but so much bigger. I am happy there is documentary about the man. The man to me. New horrors we face, with pandemics that seem endless, promising new waves after waves, before that the troubles that we people face. You David Tibet made them, calm - form me. Thank you. And hello from Finland..and Russia in my case.
Great exhibition with a marvelous artist! I love his music, too!🖖☺️
Simply brilliant
Thank you so much for this purrfect Christmas present!
i did not notice it my first time watching this but playing chopin's funeral march as the background music for david's work is just spot on. i really wish i could've seen it with my own eyes, the hallucinatory mountains. (also i noticed now that the funeral march used in the exhibition was the one recorded by the Test Dept. , so that's very nice.)))
Thanks for this lovely Christmas present. Muchas gracias.
David is one of those artists who is a receiver transmitter as much as a creator. He says he doesn't have much to do with any of this. Sometimes I get the same feeling when some piece emerges from somewhere and I place it in a perceivable medium. Like just now I looked out of my window to see 7 starlings' arse feathers hanging down from my gutter, where they hunt insects. Starlings arses,what a lovely phrase.
this is amazing will watch asap
A very tasteful treatment of a complex body of work. Nice job
Thank you! that's a good portrait! ☻
He is such a magician figure I can't believe I've never heard of him before!
thank you
just thank you.
This is ace. Totally Unpretentious. Top marks!
One of my Fav Folk!
Thank you : }
My thanks to the people who organized this exhibition and made this documentary. Oh and I suppose I have to thank youtube, otherwise I would not have watched this. C93
Gotta love him.
will love him forever
His works with old photographs remind me a bit of Christian Boltanski. David's have a different sense of playfulness, and a different sense of history: Tibet's more personal and mystical (for lack of a better word) ; Boltanski's more collective and rooted in personalizing/bringing intimacy to collective horrors such as ethnic cleansing, but there's a definite kinship in their art. When David talks about the red barn and "what lives if places like this. If you open up the doors to the red house or the red barn, what's inside," reminds me of a series Boltanski did, that were horrific images with a cloth draped over them, and a fan in the room to lift just the corner of up, invoking questions about what was behind the fabric and why the viewers wanted to look.
I was so lucky to have stumbled upon a Boltanski exhibit when I was about 12, and I was blown away. And likewise so lucky to be able to experience this, though distant in time & space. Thank you very much for this, reypak.
Luv u David
absolutly hypnotic possesing delirium inducing. dont care to die now, too fing much thats truely beautiful.
great documentary! thanks for putting it up here!
Every man aged 40+ - never mind 50+ - seems to have a Captain Birdseye beard nowadays
Well I’ve been passionate about David ever since I first discovered Current 93
His art is nice.. sure it passes over his feeling etc
But compared to his groundbreaking music... his art has nothing on that
For me his true art is his music
God bless you David
Thank you
OMG! David Tibet, 'creator spirit..'
7:16 he looks so boyish. xxx Great filmfor a great man . Thankyou. x
Traduction french please... I love Current 93 and David.
The documentary gives justice to this piece of art, comments are great too -even a few disseminated trolls to provide a necessary contrast enlighten the beauty of others, so thanks, you trolls! Don't come too many, thought, you would actually destroy the magick.. As it happens i was in need of inspiring powerful simplicity awaking this morning to help me out the maze i am immersed into while in a creative process. A great beginning for today and a great thanks to David Tibet and C93 for all these years along.
The curator girl is a genius.....
his voice is like opening french red wine one chance only almost .....
Петербург, 2013', отличный концерт был )
💜
Que bonita caligrafía de ahí libros de poemas chingones en Estados de niveles de consciencia más chingones
Plz come to korea..
This mans music was formative to my being just after I was almost murdered. In a way it Initiated me, as would Serranos works. That was in 1989. Where do the sands run to?
Who is David Tibet? "No one." I love it. Enjoyed the short doc, but THAT made it all worth watching. No one.
You think his artwork is crazy. You should check out the guy He usually collaborates with. Stephen Stapleton of "nurse with wound" usually makes a lot of great artwork and album covers under the name "Babs Santini"
….about time…
A Great
#Genius
"Who knows? I haven't got a fucking clue" all you need to know about the music, the art, the person. If you're honest with yourself, you can only agree
GOD IS ART ! DEVIL IS ART ! PEOPLE ARE........! DAVID IS AN ARTIST ! THANK YOU DAVID !
A nugget of nice with sugar & spice.
He must have some charisma like Charles Manson in person, the way people in the comments and the movie are fawning, I can feel jealous and at the same time much sympathy for his plight.
To be clear, this isn't supposed to be an anti-David Tibet comment - I appreciate his contributions and wish him well. I thought some of the super fans seem to treat him sort of like a cult leader, and that sort of treatment can feel good and have its own difficulties. That's all I meant. Hmm, maybe that sounds worse than the original comment. I don't know, but please take it without too much seriousness
him talking about the "light leaving us all" at 9:42 is very sad.
Everything he says, I feel like I've heard it before.
Thank you for posting this! Does anyone know what the orchestral piece at the beginning is?
It is from the Invocation of Almost album that he did in conjunction with the exhibition. It's exceptional, you should definitely get a copy.
Thank you!@@cosmicawe
Maria Marten, like the Shirley Collins song?
I wish I could find more info about the goings on at red house. Not to probe into someone's personal back story too much, I'm just curious
👍
I need to know about the light. What is the meaning of this one chance? Does it have anything to do with The Inmost Light?
The portrait of Jesus in the video with the phrase "I am the light and I am leaving you all" might be a hint. I think it relates to Tibet's semi-Gnostic, semi-Apocaliptic views expressed in his music.
Where's the music at the beginning od thedocu comes from?
From the Invocation of Almost album by Current 93.
Hello, everyone.
shalom David , with your little sidelocks:-)
since rockmusic died 1987 , i think Davids spirit was the seed of nearly every musical evolution since then . if there are very few good works of music today , they are because of him . thats magic .
and would there be any culture today without the golden dawn ???
When ? Wich year ?
Does anyone know where to buy that black t shirt at 11:50 ?
It's unfortunately out of print
