Sounds Like
Each and every bittersweet memory of frustrated artistry.
Basically, I'm an artist - I try to see beauty in all things. Particularly, I express myself through music. I've made friends with the obscure and found myself loitering in the mainstream world for a while. Wherever I end up residing at, music will always be my life and I'll take it anyway I can.
I was in a project called "Inflikt" which played Triphop with elements of Industrial and a wee bit of gothic ambiance, under Circa1849 Productions. Great experience I learned a lot from, but still not enough because we never stop learning, do we?
Thanks for visiting and don't forget to drop me a line or two :)
A yearly celebration of musical artistry, paying homage to one of UK’s influential label that broke the grounds in the 80’s. A home for most obscure artists, the label played an important role in providing a strong push to musical expression for both signed and unsigned artists in those years. Artists such as Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Xmal Deutchland, Modern English, Bauhaus and Clan of Xymox, are just some of the few acts who gave 4AD its distinct identity. These artists made such impact that most artists of today still shows traces of musical styles rooting from 4AD's signature sound.
Come and join us, as Circa1849 recaptures the experience with current acts performing 4AD cult classics from Lush, Cocteau Twins, The Pixies, Throwing Muses, Xymox, This Mortal Coil and more!!

The event will platform this interdisciplinary form of art in a live collaborative performance. With this, the participants are requested to collaborate with each other and shall interact conceptually and aesthetically. However, there will be no theme or any structure nor absolute rules or procedures on how will the performance would be performed and execute. It could be on improvisation, in real-time notation or on any form. Thus it should be on spontaneous, organic and unrehearsed live collaborative effort. As the title of the event suggest it will be a gathering for further exploration of these art forms through exchanges of ideas, insights and experience within the process of the performance. It also aim to introduce or to re-introduce the discipline to the public, to present and to have a possible informal discussion on the medium.
