THE LOVERS by Henry Lowman

Deep in the throes of passion and desire, an artist sits daydreaming by a window, a relationship unfolding within. Realities set in, the artist having been blind to the practicalities of the responsibilities involved, leading to disillusion and an existential crisis of self doubt. Was the correct choice made? Did potential and possibility become dust in the wind? Now, decades later, the artist gazes out of a window at a chill grey sky ,now in the throes. Of recollection, acknowledges the choices made and the failures resulting and attempts to make peace with it all, realizing in the end the futility of the artistic endeavor as what was created over decades will in the end be forgotten and fade away.

With a nod to James Joyce, Marcel Proust and Robert Musil, this narrative is presented in a Bergmanesque and Tarkovskyesque aural pastiche of expressionistic Jazz Noire.

Henry Lowman is a multi instrumentalist, composer and improviser.
