///:::::::::::::::>>>

hi/hello. small intro for the question that keeps popping up in my mailbox: yes, i paint the paintings that are in the picture section and the voice on the tracks playing is also mine/written, spoken, sung and recorded. i've also written some cross media theatreplays (modern dance, video, poetry, narration), wrote lots of poetry at one stage (performed across europe), worked on some short films (one which i also posted on this page), published short stories and exhibit my art-work when able... creativity has brought me much beauty, the proces itself, in connections with the many people i've had the honor to work with, or through mutual & shared inspiration within the greater poem that is life. thank you for passing by my myspace.

on my last album 'Notebook Living' (out in October 2008, i've had the honor to work with some truly talented musicians & producers who worked with my words and vocals. (Spencer/Mild Man Jan, Clive for Busha Productions, Janet/The Present Occupier, Danny Dubble D, Aardvarck)) thank you very much for looking out for it/their links are all included down below, they are all very different people, musicians, producers, and very uniquely gifted in their own right. please support them by adding them as a friend.

NEW YORK ZERO ZERO &
AMSTERDAM RECONSTRUCTION
Première: 26 November 2009, 21:00 hrs
Eenmalige voorstelling
Location: SMART Project Space, Arie Biemondstraat 111, Amsterdam

Dir.: Jérôme Schlomoff
France 2006 / 2009


Two abstract urban meditations composed by French visual artist Jérôme Schlomoff.
Both filmed with a pinhole movie 35mm camera, these two films create mysterious and eerie portraits of the two cities, a ghostly New York City under a snowstorm and a poetical exploration of Amsterdam as a city suspended between past, present and future, in a visual voyage filmed at some of the city’s building sites.

Jérôme Schlomoff’s most recent film ‘Blonde Redhead Meets Gainsbourg’ screens at the IDFA 2009

Both films are going to be presented with a live soundtrack performed by experimental hip-hop producer Smooth One and bass player Mouard Baali.

Smooth One biographical notes:
Smooth One comes from the abstract hip-hop scene. He wrote with Dj cam the two first album in 1996 and 1998, Underground Vibes and Substance. After a live album recorded in « Transmusicales » festival in Rennes and many remix for Air, Tek9 and Silent Poets, Smooth One decided to work alone, mainly on film music, and managing his own label, Superflux, which also published the soundtrack of 
NEW YORK ZERO ZERO & AMSTERDAM RECONSTRUCTION.

Hi There Wonder

This week remember just how important you are. We all find it easy to acknowledge the importance of others in our lives. Yet it is all too easy to overlook our own need to be nurtured and loved. So this week give yourself that extra little care and attention. In looking after our own needs, we make ourselves better people for those around us. Enjoy your own uniqueness my friend.

Love & Blessings Phil

Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more - more unseen forms become manifest to him.

Rumi

This is your week my friend and what you make of it, is in your hands. Tell me what great moments are you planning on bringing into being? Enjoy each and every moment, you deserve no less than the best.

Hey,
Thank you for the complements!  I noticed that you'll be playing in Berlin in early December.  If you happen to be in Berlin in early November, then you should come by one of those shows I play there.  It would be nice to meet and drink a few beers after one of the shows.  Either way, I hope you have a nice show in Berlin (my favorite town in the world)!
till then,
ian
