About Me

- I love making music. It would probably drown me If it could, but I try and keep my head above the flow. Just to keep myself in control of time. If I don't I find myself surrounded by instruments but not able to record because the dawn corus is too loud and the fact that the sun is rising makes my feel ill. I get lost in another world when I am making music, sometimes I stay there for hours on end. Untill eventually I am forced back into reality by a sound that wasnt made by me. I dont feel these hours are wasted. If anything there some of the best hours of my life. But there also the shortest. The world is an incredible place and has so much to offer. I realised a few years ago that I don't think I could ever be truly sad because there is always something far bigger and more incredible than anything I could be sad about. My life is quite pleasant though. So I could understand if you can't relate. Its just, trees, to me are enough to keep me smiling forever. When I make a piece of music that I think matches what I think about trees, I will have got as far as I can get musically. Please enjoy my explorartion untill that point.
Ah, the obligatory Nirvana phase, followed by a total Eels obsession. I’ve been there. I love Things The Grandchildren Should Know, it’s written really well. Until recently I hadn’t realised that a childhood obsession, Hugh Everett and his many worlds theory, was the father of Mark Everett. Hugh Everett inspired the novel I have been writing for over ten years, the novel I think will end up being my main central work. And then the Eels fed that novel 10 years later with their music. I can see that influence in your work and that too is feeding that same novel. Nice how things bleed together.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the presenters, the visual aspect of your work is something spectacular. I don’t think it’s just an aural experience, it’s part visual.
I really liked the bedroom session piece. I love the rift between harmony and disharmony, the distortion is very atmospheric. Shame it all stopped very suddenly, but that’s the way it goes sometimes and it’s all part of it.
I agree that your music would work aces for a proper cult British film. If I ever get round to writing a film script I’d insist that your music feature heavily on the soundtrack, for sure. ;)
