A public holiday this Monday in Japan, so a good time to post another 180 second fake Kyoto FM Mix of 3 of my tracks from Bandcamp as a SHORT to YouTube.
Other Things
Spring weather the last few days, very nice.
Watched 2 great musician/ artist/ interviews yesterday.
Mattias Eklundh:
Mattias is so positive, and such a force for good, and being independent (and METAL). What struck me most though is how totally different his upbringing was from mine. Mine was very much Cats In The Cradle.
But it was Mattias's Freak Kitchen in the last 6 years that got me involved with 7 and 8 string guitars and writing and recording my own songs that really meant something.
Dennis Leigh ( stage name John Foxx, Ultravox founder):
I found John Foxx particularly interesting in his approach and way of thinking that is very similar to myself. A very Quietly spoken man. Something else I relate too.
In reflection in retirement I feel I was always really an artist (drawing and making things was always my love, and did Art as a subject all throughout school), but it was drilled into me I had to have a real job and ended up doing Electronics and Software. My art and tech are very much done like painting. It isn't a performance, but a work created in a studio over time. After finishing my Fairlight Instruments High End Sampler era, I moved on to other things and didn't need to do it again!
Also his SYSTEMS OF ROMANCE & METAMATIC albums had such an impact on me on their release. I think I try and combine the sounds he did back then in what I do now with the Sequenced synths and Heavy Guitar.
Like this quick thing I did yesterday. Sequenced Synths & heavy guitar. I will probably change the comic to something else before making is a YouTube SHORT:
Spring weather the last few days and took this in someone yard in a midday walk yesterday.
So my nose has started rehearsals for the real HAY FEVER season already.
