    Oh I loved this and thought I should pass it along;

    "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." ~Jack London

    I can't even begin to calculate how many days of my life were spent waiting for something extraordinary to happen.

    Hope if you aren't feeling inspired, you go hunt it down!

    Yes, the one with Stefan! I dropped a question concerning quintuplets I recall, heavy stuff. I just read "The Real Frank Zappa Book", don't know if you have read it? I wouldn't be very surprised if you have, hehe. Anyhow, he talks quite a bit about the difficulties the modern day composer faces in getting his/her music performed... Quintuplets, heavy stuff... Perhaps things have improved in the last 20 something years. Do you compose using software or the good ol' blobs on a piece of paper? 


    Thanks for the reply!

Bio:

Mix in Indian spice, French gastronomy and bring to the boil in Wales.

Add one beat-up customised RG550 guitar and shove through a wormhole.

Marinate in Vienna with a healthy overload of string-skipped triads and snake women.

Gently melt the psyche in the Peruvian Andes - Pachamama style.

Then sprinkle in some interdimensional love and leave to dry in the sun.

Season with little space creatures and a drop of grasshopper medicine.

Garnish with some infectious grooves and watch the sparks fly.

Serve on your favourite leyline with tabasco and celery...
