ROOMS WITHOUT WINDOWS
It doesn't feel like a Wednesday night. As I sit here in the studio in London, I am trying to figure out where the past few days have gone. The biggest problem is the lack of daylight. Whether its 10 am or 2 am my windowless studio stays the same. I am sure you can imagine how weird that can make you feel! However this was not helped by the way I spent my weekend. I spent my whole Saturday at the Barbican Theatre, watching a nine hour play by Robert Lepage called Lypsinch. Yup you read correctly 9 hours! Thing is, it was brilliant. It went by so quickly. Kind of felt like I could sit back for a day and watch other people's lives unfold themselves over two generations. I left the theatre with that satisfied smirk you get on your face when you manage to read a long book in one sitting!
Robert Lepage is a Canadian director/writer/actor from Montreal. His shows may seem abstract and a bit unapproachable at first, but that's not the case. They are often long and in more than one language. However this is still some of the most unpretentious theatre you could go to. If you ever get a chance to see something he's done, give it a go!
Lepage recently collaborated with Cirque Du Solei on Ka (above) as well as doing a 3 million euro installation on an enormous silo in Montreal to celebrate Quebec's 400th anniversary. I was so tempted to take a trip out to see it as all the footage I've found on youtube is terrible. But I thought it wiser to get on with my work and not waste money on such a decadent "research trip"! Either way for years now, the man has become a total hero of mine... yes another one! :)
When in writing mode, I find myself looking constantly for things to inspire me and fill with head with new ideas and you never really know where that will come from. For example, writing Big Girls after watching a late night TV show. All I ever look for is a phrase or sentence that I can build something around.
Speaking of things I liked, I saw Somers Town last week and I loved it. Thomas Turgoose (the actor from This is England) plays a kid who runs away from his home in Nottingham to escape his family. He bumps into and makes friends with a Polish boy and this close friendship blossoms. It focuses on how these boys emotionally survive in London in the absence of their parents. Thomas Turgoose must be one of the coolest actors in England.
I've been plotting a really sweet collaboration with the illustrator Sophie Blackall, which I will explain later on in the week. Going to see Madonna tonight. Can't wait.

Does it work if I try to post a picture?
I try but if it doesn’t work, please remove this.

Okay, I know I’m a bit too late to comment on this, but I saw Somers Town yestarday (yes, independent movies take ages to arrive in Spain) and have to say I am touched. I loved the way it depicts the feelings of these two loners in a cold hearted London, and the real meaning of friendship and love. I really liked the use of the B/W and colour bits and its meaning. And the music is just brilliant! It’s the kind of film that makes you think, and realise the world could be a better place if we all saw our neighbours with a different pair of eyes.
Thank you for your recommendation, maybe I would have not watched this marvellous fairy tale if it wasn’t for you.
¡Besos!
Asun.
hi mika!
i don’t speak english
aunque no entiendas mucho lo que escribo quiero que sepas que me encanta tu musica siempre la escucho y me levanta el animo! gracias por esa maravillosa voz!
thank you for your wonderfull music!
kisses
Oh Mika, staying in widowless room is kinda scary for me, actually I’m a bit claustrophobic.
And thanks for the info about Lypsinch and Cirque de Soleil, I’d like to see them one day.It looks like Wagnerian opera in postmodern way 
Much love,
Bojana
OMG 9 Hours! I went to the Barbican theatre last night on a school theatre trip and I could hardly manage 2 hours of a play. Well… It was about Maths…
OMG I’VE WALKED ON THE SAME FLOOR AS MIKA!!
oh. thats cute ♥
Windowless cubicles… well, I can’t say I work in a cubicle, because the labs in my college are actually quite big. But they are mostly windowless. And it seems that the older you get, the less windows there are. Allow me to explain: in the first year in college, the labs we worked on had a few windows; the second year, we were in different labs, and they had just a couple of windows; the last year, they have no windows and are somewhat underground… Oh, well, it seems that when I start taking my masters or really start working in research, I’ll be alone inside a bunker or something like that… =P
But it’s not that bad. Fortunately, I don’t spend the whole day inside, though almost… But there’s one thing that keeps me going: the immense joy I get from doing what I do. That’s what makes me forget about the fact that there are no windows around 
Oh, and thanks for that trailler! I’ll be going to the Blockbuster this weekend to see if they already have it for renting…
XO,

hello genio<!!! aca, PATO de nuevo, de Argentina! Tus canciones alegran mis dias!!!
dear mika.
it’s me again. haha
i have to wait for madonna [she is comming to argentina on december]. Also maroon5 is comming November 11.
and you?
:(
i am gonna show this to my friend, man
My fiancee used to go to art college with Shane Meadows. We both love all his films. Especially Dead Man’s Shoes. That’s such a dark film (as is the way with Meadows’ films) but well worth a watch. And i agree, Thomas Turgoose is an amazing actor. Loved him in This is England so i’m expecting big things from him.
I just noticed that I tend to abuse of the word “brilliant”...
Oh well… blame english-not-being-my-first-language for the lack of vocabulary…
Yesterday I saw an add for a Peter Gabriel concert that was gonna air on Musimax… and the “mise en scène” was done by Robert Lepage. It seemed BRILLIANT !!! I forgot when it’s gonna air but I’ll surely check it out. Maybe you should give him a call for your next tour… *wink wink, nudge nudge*
Oh and if you have the chance, you HAVE to see “Le projet Andersen”. It’s a play by Robert Lepage. There’s only one actor that does all the characters and they use lights, holograms, projections, things like that to create the settings on the stage. Robert Lepage used to be the actor in the play but now it’s Yves Jacques, who is a brilliant actor from Montréal. I saw the play last year and it was utterly brilliant.
So that’s that. Hope you’re doing great !
Hugs

It looks and sounds fab!
Yoyo xx
Another random comment for your random blog, ha ha!
Did you see Hollyoaks tonight?
If not you HAVE to see the omnibus, for the scene between Michaela, Amy and Mike at the hospital.
Your name is mentioned,LOL!
BTW, don’t want you to be jealous or anything but while I’m working, I have more than enough windows around me, wish I could share one with you, sorry!
Oh, , I come to too late ～～～～
Mika you is really busy!
However the busy felling will make the person feel substantial.Should do some affairs more, but occasionally still need to kick back and enjoy is occasionallyyoung, don’t chase oneself tired and bad.
These photographs is really a good-looking ～
I love you～kiss you～我爱你
Presumido Madonna!!
hola, excelente espacio, muy creativo.
did i add, take time with ur album, dont listen to the people going HURRY UP!
all good things take time. like i said before.
oooh, and i hate to be one ofthose whiners who are like come to argentina and all that, but i’m not, this is the first time i’ve said it but heeeeyyy…
PLEASE COME TO NEW ZEALAND ON UR NEXT TOUR!!
P.P.S WAAAAIIIIITTTT….
i put so so plain simple.. i meant not so plain and simple… grrr… why cant we edit these comments?
oh, wait, did i mention that i like the new way of writing MIKA on ur artwork?
it will be harder to draw, sure, and so so plain and simple, but its really awesumarama.
why DO the video blogs get so many more comments than the written blogs?
PLEASE dont take that as a hint, i LOVE the written blogs in a way they seem so much more personal.
BTW, you were too late with posting the parc de princes artwork. we’ve found it on amazon and i must say, its really beautiful. not what i was expecting at all, its very different to the LICM stuff (but at least you havent cut the cartoons, even if they’re a bit artsier, if you had done that i would have been VERY sad.
looking foward to the DVD!
AND the new website!! (hinthint) naaaa i know everything good takes time…
xx
Helloo beautiful Mika!
Today a group of entertainers who go around doing ‘social consciousness’ plays, performed one at my little girl’s school called ‘Tolerance..‘all about being accepting , loving and tolerant of the folk around you ..aannnd..they played 2 of your songs in their play! YAY!! -‘Love Today’ and ended it on a fun note with ‘Lollipop’....how cool is that!! And soo appropriate given your stance on ‘live and let live’and standing up for the ‘underdog’-
oh this is in South Africa, Jo’burg, by the way!!
Lurves & wurves xxxx stay safe and keep the lego coming!!
Hey how did the Madonna show go!,
I wanted to go when she was coming to Argentina, but I’ll be in Europe by the time. Hope, I can atleast watch ur show lol.
Anyway insparation is crip to any crative activity,
I’m a designer, and to watch movies, blogs, listen to music, are the daily activities I MUST do in order to get ideas!
If I watch that movie, i think i will be able to cry.
So.
I will watch it when I want to cry and when I am alone.
9 HOURS!!!
You’re mad!!!
xxx
VIVA MEXICO!!
lol
I love you Mika!!:D
You are very cute!!
Come to Mexico please!!
If my dreams tonight will be beautiful like you, then I hope that sleep is soon to kidnap me ...
Good night, lots of kissssseeeeesssss!!!!!!!!!!

I have to watch that film :D
I feel a bit sad.
I was hoping to go and watch Somers Town over the weekend, but ther are no cinemas in my area that are showing it!
It’s really annoying that really good films like this get maybe 1 weeks showing, and disappear, when other less appealing films, seem to go on for weeks. I’m very frustrated!
Ciao Super Bellissimo
Good afternoon, you’re working in the studio without windows?
with all my heart MARI AND SONSxxx
Hej Mika!
thanks for posting robert lepage, i just found this on youtube and found it pretty amazing!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48j-7ZSfp0M&feature=related check it out, it’s the moulin à images in Québec!
i love the first part where the pencils are falling down!
mika, and probably you’ve heard it hundrets of times, but everytime’s worth somebody says it: you’re amazing! your music changed my life, it quite showed me what i want to be. and it is so beautiful that i could cry and laugh all the times i listen to it.
A BIIIIIG THANK You, and i’m sooo much looking forward to your next album!
Love
Giu
you’re a great lover of art…. reading and translating (I´m argentinian) I approach to these things where I have never looked, but it’s just your way your way to transmit, thanks and forgiveness for my English
Oh, to go to a play like that!
-Ema Low <3
I don’t if could set for 9 hours and watch a play,its so long,but i would love to watch that play,it sounds good.And that guy Robert Lepage,he’s wow,i don’t how he can mennege to be a directer,an actor and a writer.I think that i would go crazy if i did all that stuff.
lov u,bye
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
shizzle,I dunno where to find Somers Town and I really wanted to watch it{for free mwaha}..so I think I’ll simply wait for your next collaborationswithillustrators teaser…don’t make me wait for too long {u know how I spam your forum when I’m bored}:p
xx
Hey Mika it’s great to hear from you! Wow, sitting in a theatre for 9 hours must be tiring…glad you enjoyed it though You have been working so hard and you always do, so as many of us have said, it’s lovely that you are having a good time as well as working. We all need a break from work at some point, even though I know you love your job! Thank you for all you do for us such as your blog and for being you. Have a great time with everything, lots of hugs ‘n’ kisses from Sam xoxox
oooooo i want to see that moovy
lks kl!
Ciao, my guardian angel,
how are you?
I hope you’re well, I saw the trailer for Somers Town and I immediately liked Thomas Turgoose very nice and symphathetic, reminds me my eldest son who has about his own age, even the plot of the film is very interesting because it concerns the lives of teenagers is not an easy time of life, especially if children are not monitored by parents at this stage of life can be mistakes that are paid for life (a bit like success to me that I did not wanted to continue my studies school).
I also love the setting of the film, because the atmosphere of British cities attracts me, but I do not like fog, rain and greyness that often characterize, although in certain occasions I find they are mysterious and magical (about you’ve read the books of black magic and how are they? are appalling?).
I like very much the British homes, large, white or brick red, with that particular type of windows that does not exist in Italia, the garden green grass shaved, with the wooden fence around the mailbox that seems to Mickey Mouse, in short a dream ... I’d love to see the white cliffs of Dover, they are very suggestive!
Maybe one day I might be able to visit these places, but I fear the plane and I do not think that there is another means of transport to get there, so I continue to dream as I usually do.
I learned that the illustrator Sophie Blackall focuses of books for children and I think I like it for shure!
A rain of kissssseeeeesssss!!!!!

Hi Mika! I’m a big fan for Brazil who is just getting to know more about your music now… I just love how you sound and would love to see you perform. I lived in London from 2003 to 2005 but didn’t know you back then. About your post, I totally understand how you feel in a place without windows, because there was a time in London where I used to start work very early when the sun was rising (winter time) and finish work when it was already dark. I believe you must be really hardworking and don’t want to leave the studio even for 5min, but I suggest that you take some breaks during the day and go outside, look at the sky, look at the people, go for a walk, have a fag(if you smoke), have a snack (don’t eat in the studio, try to take it to a park). All this might even be helpful and inspire you even more. Love, from a Brazilian friend XXXXX Vanessa
Hey Mika !
How was Madonna?! Hope you had fun!
MXXX TE AMO!!! EXXXXXX
mikaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
queee vengaa a laa argentinaaaa
You’re very nice to do this for us fans!!

Sorry to go on about train songs but i just remembered this one too!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McfWLgqlj0k
Oh the 80’s Mika!
You missed too much of them!!!
Get some 80’s in your new shoes!
excuses to dress up ease .... lol
Hi Mika,
Great blog thanks.
So Madonna eh?
How was?
I hear some not so good reviews or is that just usual nonsense?
I loved her in the 80’s so much when every girl like me wanted to don the lace gloves and hundreds of bracelets.. one of my friends Claire looked so like her too, even down to the facial freckle!
Huh some people have all the luck.
I knew she would last then and remembering saying to folk quick to put her down as a ‘flash in the pan’ ..
oh do you remember them and their hit!
Can you remember it?
I do!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKMAaiJWvTw
Sorry, a bit random but just popped in to my head!
Well Mika, i knew i was right about Madonna and i know i am about you….
ooooh ! so cheesy!
take care,
Vicky xxxx
a quote from you:
“When in writing mode, I find myself looking constantly for things to inspire me and fill with head with new ideas and you never really know where that will come from. For example, writing Big Girls after watching a late night TV show. All I ever look for is a phrase or sentence that I can build something around.”
Just to say:
you’re right to work this way, that’s the reason why I believe that your writting is one of the best I ever heard, and goes right with the melodies you are composing. Maybe that’s why so many people find a balance in their lifes because off your art.
I usely don’t post two times in the same section but I wanted to tell you that .
Thank you again
Virginie :-****
9 hours for a play!!!
Hmmm, that Canadian director is a wizard if he can to stage the whole play good. I know it is so hard to put 1-2 hour play together.
Now, I want to watch the play… really want to do it.
And YOU are the man who had become a total heroe of mine… <3
I love the theatre, don’t get to see as much as I’d like these days, but I know what you mean when you talk about coming out of seeing a production which was brilliant and feeling totally ‘smug’! An epic 9 hours in one go would be SERIOUS smugness and feeling virtuous!!
The film looks great, will need to check that out.
How was the Madonna gig? Did you enjoy it? She’s not my cup of tea at all (her best stuff was much earlier in her career IMHO). Whenever I hear her or see a video of her recent stuff I’m afraid I roll my eyes or yawn and see tumbleweed rolling by….Anyway, never mind what I think, as long as you had a good time.
Lovely to hear from you BTW. Hope the creative (writing) juices are flowing!!
Rxxx
So….on the Madonna concert…I really wonder what you thought.
Were you one of the “walkers”, one of the “stuck with no way to get home-rs”, or one of the “stayers”?
9 HOURS!!!
Was there a toilet break?
I’m sure it was an excellent play, but there would have to be extremely comfy seats to get me to sit for 9 hours.
And I would love top see Somers Town, seen the trailers and it looks brilliant. Now I have transport (FINALLY!)I’ll have to find a cinema showing it.
Hope Madonnas show was good,(bet it wasn’t as good as Katys, you missed a good ‘un, hope you’ll be at Scala showing your support), I heard the sound was bad, people asking for refunds.
Got to go, supposed to be at my friends house, he’ll not be happy!
MIKA, good to hear something new from you!!!...REALLY…and 9 hours in theatre - it´s sounds like Andy Warhol´s movies…
anyway, I hope there is lot of inspiration for you everywhere ))
be happy!...and be relaxed…
bye,
Oh my god !! You going to see Madonna !! You’re so lucky !!!
coucou !!
whoua c génial Madonna !!
Contente d avoir des nouvelles de toi !
bsx a toi Mika !
jtm 3>
Wow!
9 hours, that is courage…
Hope you are doing well in the writting.
I went to a Julieta Venegas concert for free last week… haha
Hope you had fun at Madonna’s concert!
Like a virgin…(8)
P.S. Today is the bday of your mexican twin… you’ll see him some day.
xoxo Gossip Girl..I mean Marlene from Mexico. Come soon
AHHHHH!!! 9 heures!!!!! :!
<C’est long, mais bon, si c’était bien, ça en valait la peine et puis comme tu aimes bien l’art, je comprends ^^.
Mais sinon, je savais pas que tu aimais aussi Madonna lol!!
Bon, kiss
I am so happy you speak about Quebec in your blog!!!
Robert Lepage is a genius. I saw Le Moulin à Images 2 weeks ago and it’s amazing but you need to know a bit about the story of Québec City otherwise you understand nothing! But Mika you should really spend your money to come to see it!
Here’s a good video I found for you
http://www.tagtele.com/videos/voir/22815
Hi Mika,
you’ll can take some breaks and go and sit in the sun for a fwe minutes to get away from the dark studio and brighten you up
I’ve always wanted to go and see Cirque Du Solei but it’s never been here where I live. That play sounds good, it’s wonderful when you can sit down, relax and just be so deep into something that’s interesting.
You always give great tips about movies that I tend to like, to bad that Somers Town only premieres the 3rd of october here :(
take care, make sweet music and lots of hugs from me
Wow une pièce de 9 heures!!!!
Mais connaissant Robert Lepage, cela ne me surprend guère que cela ait passé si vite J’ai trop capoté quand j’ai vu son nom sur ton blog haha
Tu aurais vraiment du venir pour les célébrations du 400 ième, ca l’aurait valu le déplacement!Quoi de plus inspirant, non?
J’ai eu la chance de voir le moulin à images, mais je crois pas avoir admiré ce chef d’oeuvre à Montréal par contre…Enfin, j’imagine que tu le sais maintenant, c’était à Québec eh
Sinon j’espère que t’as passé unne bonne soirée avec Madonna! = )
@ pluuuuche!
Hugs

Marie
I loooove the cirque du soleil!
I have seen them twice and it is amaaazing.
Mika, we’re anxious waiting for your new CD!!!
COME TO BARCELONAAAAAA (LLLL)
Ilive in Montreal and that Robert Lepage is very famous. Ciruqe du Soleil was created in MOntrreal and everything that hapens to them ( new show…) ITs on TV!
We are very proud of them.
However, I better like listen to you!
xoxoxo
Thank you for your new blog Mika! I really admire how you are always so enthusiastic about other artists and performers, and that you are willing to let them inspire you.
But I also want to mention that it’s not a good idea to only have your new DVD on Blue Ray. Most of us haven’t got Blue Ray, but we ALL want to buy your DVD. Please release it on the normal DVD format as well, or you won’t sell anywhere near as many as you COULD do, and you will disappoint a lot of fans.
Love always from Marilyn.
HI!
This show must be fantastic!
Lucky you are to see Madonna!
I wish i can go to see her here in Portugal, but the tickets are too expensive to me at this moment.
Bye
Good work in studio to you. At this moment I do´n’t like to be you. I love the sunshine portuguese days for not see them so much time!!!
SB
this is the first audition for Thomas Turgoose ((sweet))

OOOooOOooh! 9 hours?? I would have died loool.
This movie looks really great! I’ll try to find it hehe.
Thanks for this interesting blog Mika!!

Mika!
Im glad to hear something from you! I wanted to tell you something, this is what helps me when i want to write a song; going outside! Walk trough your neighberhoud, i know its a little difficult for you, because everyone knows you.. But you should try once!
I hope your not getting bored in the studio, but im not worrying about that!
I also hope that everyhting id going very well, btw, goog that you took some time of! Good for inspiration, dont you think?
I also wanted to send you this link, its a song from Jason Mraz, and i like it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkHTsc9PU2A
Maybe you get inspired from it? I don’t know.. The melody is not the greatest ive ever heard, but the lyrics are very nice!
A few days ago i started with singing courses, they say i’ve got a great voice! I’ll post something on youtube, and i’ll send you the link! :D
Good luck with everything Mika, dont stress, RELAX! :D
Byebye, love your blogs!
Much Love,

Nice blog. I’ve been working in a windowless, basement lab for the past few years. The hardest thing is not knowing what the weather is like outside.
I’m not a fan of Madonna’s music but I highly recommend Coldplay’s Viva la Vida concert, which I recently saw in Las Vegas. Ka cirque du Soleil was amazing too!
Robert Lepage
Is
A
Genius
Period
Seriously he is…
But I must correct you though. The Moulin à Images, Robert Lepage’s installation on the silo, is Québec City, not in Montréal. It is to celebrate Québec City’s 400th anniversary, not the province of Québec.
You should’ve waste your money on the “research trip” though ! Québec City is GORGEOUS and there are so many things to do there this year with all the celebrations for the 400th anniversary. I went to the Paul McCartney concert on the Plaines d’Abraham and it was an out of this world experience. I wanted to go see Robert Lepage’s Moulin à Images but the night I was supposed to go it was raining like crazy and a very cold night and I had no coat with me, no umbrella so I couldn’t go… I am GUTTED that I missed it !!!! I know quite a lot of people who went to see it and apparently it’s BRILLIANT !!!
Oh well if you decide to go see it, you have to make a stop in Montréal, it’s actually nice and warm in the summer, not like when you tour here !! and Montréal is always lots of fun and very inspiring… but you do know that right ?
Well, enjoy Madonna’s gig and it was nice to hear from you and nice to see you love an artist from my city, makes me very proud !
Hugs and lollies to you
Véronique
Hello there,
lol I never would have hoped to be posting as many comments lol but here I am since I admire Robert Lepage soooooooo much! Unfortunately I never got the chance to see his live shows (I will for sure though) but I saw that movie he did and also I followed his work in the LNI (the improvisation national league) done in Montreal, that is still working but he was there back in time. And he did a great job with Peter Gabriel who worked with him too. He’s a visionary, well, beyond that. Undescribable actually hehe! I didn’t get the chance to see his silo emplacement in Quebec city, I will as soon as I can though ! I’ve always admired what he’s done, he always went his way no matter what people were saying….and I admire that in people !
And since I’m here Mika, about your studio video, reminds me of the times I was working in radio *sighs* the console looks pretty much like the one we used while I was studying!
Ok before I load this page I wish good night everyone!
And thanks for bringing Robert Lepage up dear
Good day or good night ya all!
Isabelle

Hey Mika!!!!!!

Wow, a 9 hour play! But it must have been totally worth it! Robert Lepage worked with Cirque Du Solei on Ka? I have always wanted to see a Cirque de Solei show but have never had the chance to.
Can’t wait for the new album =]
Thanks for sharing Mika
my Russian viola instructor is on that madonna tour. thanks for telling me where he’s at! and maybe it’s just me, but i always find British actors to be a bit cheesy. hmmm…
