Fishead's Interests
General
dark chocolate, trappist ales, jiu-jitsu, film theory, record shopping, travel...
ps: the spice must flow.
Music
Where to begin?? I work for a record shop. I sometimes play records in public and I have a webpage for that... I play a style of music that is sometimes known as the wrong - othertimes referred to as whatever I want... what I play is often vastly different from what I listen to, though...
here are some things I've been listening to lately:
Judee Sill, Pulp, Idha, Nurse With Wound, Sleep, Arthur Brown, Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Wings, Mayhem, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Roxy Music, Prince, Spacemen 3, Pale Saints, Legendary Pink Dots.
things I've been playing lately:
Venetian Snares, Laf-O, Otto Von Schirach, Drop The Lime, µ-ziq, Aphex Twin, Kode 9, Pinch, Mouse, La Peste, Atomly, Ghislain Poirier, DJ Koze, Ceephax, Akufen...
specific films:
Pola X, Rules Of Attaction, May, Diggstown, Brick, Schramm, Black Sunday, Ratcatcher, Maelström, Morvern Callar, Saló...
and movies that combine any two of the following: copious gore, zombies, vampires, lesbians, necrophilia.
Television
I went more than two years without a tv... there's one here now, but it's almost exclusively used for watching movies and mma.
Books
I used to bury myself in books, but not so often nowadays. Sad but true... some favourites...
Hope - Glen Duncan
Trout Fishing In America - Richard Brautigan
Pierre - Herman Melville
The Sun Also Rises - Hemingway
One Hundred Years Of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Post Office - Bukowski
Less Than Zero - Bret Easton Ellis
About me: I live in Montreal, Canada... I've been DJing for close to 20 years and haven't care about fame or fortune for a long time. I play what I want to play - and play it the way I think is most interesting. It's all about expression.
Mixes:
Dubbed. Roughly 60 minutes of dubstep, techno and downtempo. Mixed on three turntables July 10th, 2008.
The Almighty Acid mix. Rendered with Ableton on July 27th, 2007. 63 minutes long, and spanning the history of acid techno. There's hard acid, classic acid, dark acid, freak out stuff... it's a short, weird ride.
I'm working on a film studies degree at the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, but don't really know what I'll do with it once I have it. Once upon a time that was the sort of thing that would prevent me from doing something - I don't really concern myself with that anymore.
Live at Pote:tr - Saturday August 18th
beatjuggling nonsense using two copies of Boom Hunter by Duran Duran Duran
Who I'd like to meet: people who can think for themselves... people who create the music, film and books that inspire me...
if you think you're one of these people - send me a message... I'm done with blindly accepting friend requests from people I'll likely never have any kind of contact with. Sorry.
Recorded live at Club Transmediale Festival in Berlin on January 29th 2008. The performance uses mainly sounds from my forthcoming album, to be released by Crónica later in 2008. Download at www. cronicaelectronica. org/?p=cronicaster
