StrangeTango.com is a multilayered art installation in cyberspace…the documentation of a life in three iterations: as a film treatment, a book, a blog.

“What remains as documentation of a life?” Strange Tango haunts the boundaries of digital streams and visceral storytelling, where pixels and dreams flow together.

Video, reportage, and nonlinear narrative meld in captured moments from the life of A. D. Tejada, artist - traveler - citizen of the world.

Life is a strange tango...

Roland Kelts

 

Roland Kelts was one of my first Facebook friends when I finally landed on the social media grid. “Stellar website!” he emailed me, by way of introduction. Although he was writing from Japan and I from America’s heartland, I quickly discovered that we share two enduring passions: a love of Japanese [...]

New Age Traveler

Moulton Brown's New Age Traveler kit

New Age Traveler is an excerpt from Millennium Muse, my book of narrative nonfiction, essays, and observations.

Road Trip, Part I: Artistic Santa Fe and Taos

St. Francis of Assisi Cathedral, Santa Fe

My husband and I love to pile into our comfortable SUV, throw in a few small pieces of luggage, and head for the open road with our family pet. We enjoy the time we spend together and the freedom of traveling at our own pace without the inconveniences [...]

Facebook September 16-29: Neo-Zen, Road Trip, Muse, Libra, Current Events, Links

As I recall, a high tech multimillionaire bought a book for a princely sum, but it wasn’t the rare edition you’d expect. It was a farmer’s almanac…a carefully kept journal ocumenting daily life—and an historical era. This level of authenticity captivated the future reader. By the same token, you don’t think this StrangeTango.com entry is [...]

New Age Traveler: The Creative Process

“Although these days I tend to travel in style, there is still a part of me that relishes the idea of roughing it and traveling lightly–to soak in stripped down, sensory experiences.”  New Age Traveler by A. D. Tejada, in Millennium Muse

The Strange Tango personal website is a living and evolving art installation in cyberspace—the [...]

The Muse Room

My Muse Room is in the Royal Sonesta Hotel, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I’ve alluded to The Muse Room in my dispatches and postings. It is a room on the top floors of the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts. When I first checked in, the reservationist told me the room was special.

Indeed it is—stunning view of water, sky, [...]

Julio Iglesias

Me, upon first meeting Julio Iglesias.

 

“Does she yearn to discover the secret to Julio Iglesias, Japan, or Jesus?” Strange Tango, the epistolary novella 

An intimate hotel in Punta del Este, Uruguay, La Posta del Cangrejo is where Julio Iglesias and I both stayed—separately, of course…the staff gave me a tour of the suite where Julio stays when he’s [...]
