The rest speaks for itself.
It was sent to BSS by a lover of their music who wants to remain anonymous.
BSS is very proud to share this mash-up with you.

All Tarkovsky Films Now Free Online posted on July 14th, 2010

Ingmar Bergman went so far as to say, “Tarkovsky for me is the greatest [director], the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream.” And Akira Kurosawa acknowledged his influence too, adding, “I love all of Tarkovsky’s films. I love his personality and all his works. Every cut from his films is a marvelous image in itself.”
Shot between 1962 and 1986, Tarkovsky’s seven feature films often grapple with metaphysical and spiritual themes, using a distinctive cinematic style. Long takes, slow pacing and metaphorical imagery – they all figure into the archetypical Tarkovsky film. (Watch the scene from Stalker above.)
Thanks to the Film Annex, you can now watch the complete collection of Tarkovsky films online – for free.

The themes in Audrey Kawasaki’s work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey’s precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter.
The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes.

The Day I Was Born. posted on July 10th, 2010
I was born once, and probably more times than I can fathom since.
What I have learned, is as follows.
…
I know, speechless.
Me too.
On this momentous occasion, we all begin another ‘once around’ that glorious gas giant that sustains our silly sorted existence…
I would like you all to listen to this music, and fondly think of me.
