    John David's Interests
GeneralReading, vigorous exercise, repetitive stress injuries, bodily secretions, listening to music, performing music, petting small cats, observing insects from a safe distance, cherishing the common moor hen, poking the irritable Mel.
MusicI like powerful rhythm sections, rough and expressive voices, catchy melodies, and attention to sonic detail. I am moved by lovingly crafted textures, nuanced chord progressions, and stark contrasts. I enjoy stripped-down minimalism as much as I enjoy dense orchestration and complex arrangements. Lyrics are usually lost on me.

Dude, I had a dream about you that you where this great orchestra director. LOL! How the mind works with our memories ;p Actually, I am planning to do a sermon about it for a youth revival someday with power point, drama, and a music video ;) Seriously though, it was that good. Anyways, hope things are going well for ya and keeping you busy and happy with what you do in music.
Do you still play cello from time to time?

Ars Phoenix was a five piece (sometimes even a six piece) a long time ago--2 guitars, bass, keys, drums. It often turned into an oversaturated mess with the synths drowned out by the traditional rock instruments. Paring it down to 2 has added clarity and precision. I do sometimes toy around with the idea of adding someone who can switch between bass and synth, but adding drums would add too many logistical complications: recording becomes harder, traveling becomes harder, and practicing becomes harder (lack of adequate practice space).

Oh, the 29th isn't an ESS show. That's just Chris being awesome and updating his local electronic shows list very often.


Conversely, our normal set is too pop for an AR show, so a noise/improve collab set might just be something very special. We should definitely talk it over.
Ars Phoenix





Aug 16 2008 11:49 PM

That's a good question! You should ask Chris and Andrew! Hopefully sometime soon. I'd especially like to play with Hydrogen Arm sometime, or maybe even collaborate.

So I have a boyfriend who is nine inches easy when very excited. HE is uncircumcised and very sexually un-educated [I was his first everything, he had never even masturbated].

He seems much more sensitive than the average man, is this just me or is this common? Also, I have never had experiences of any kind with an uncircumcised guy, is there anything I should know or watch out for?
