The Sensual, Cerebral, Spiritual and Humour of it all in life from Music, Movies, Photography (Infrared), Philosophy, Science, Art, Literature, Fact, Fiction, 4th Way, Religion, History and...Vinyls, CDs, DVDs. I'm into PC technology but not into computer gaming...yet! Mods for Guitars and Stomp Pedals and Tube Amps. Did I miss anything else?Music
My deep almost spiritual love for music spans genres, cultures and eras. I do seem to gravitate towards sounds and songs that evoke a certain mood and state of mind and am more interested in being moved than impressed. Most if not all of my favs seem to have that distinctive timeless quality. Prepared or Freely Improvised, Acoustic, Electric, Sung or Instrumental, Synthesized or Virtual, Melodic or Atonal my musical favs include in no particular order; Beatles, The Sundays, Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson, Son House, Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, Cocteau Twins, Mannuel Gottsching, Craig Armstrong, Scott Walker, King Crimson, Pat Metheny, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Terje Rypdal, Jan Garbarek, Kenny Wheeler, Prince, Neil Young, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Charlie Hunter, Jaco Pastorius, Queen, Deep Purple and Scorpions, Police, Sting, Tuck Andress, Lenny Breau, Andy Summers, Phil Keaggy, Mark Isham, David Torn, Michael Brook, Nels Cline, Derek Bailey, David Lindley, Henry Kaiser, Tuck n Patti, Keith Jarret, Jane's Addiction, Cure, U2, Peter Gabriel, David Sylvian, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Kate Bush, Meredith Monk, Bjork, Dead Can Dance, Lisa Gerard, Beth Orton, Natalie Merchant, Massive Attack, King Crimson, Jimi Hendrix, ELO, Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck, Jean Luc Ponty, Frank Zappa, Neil Young, CSNY, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, David Gray, Modern Lovers, Allan Holdsworth, Michael Hedges, Ozric Tentacles, Radiohead, Yes, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Kraftwerk, Ashra Temple, Ryuichi Sakamto, Vengelis, Philip Glass, Erik Satie, 4AD, DGM, ECM, Samadhi Sound, Real World...Movies
I have great admiration for the film medium and hope to get involved in creating sounds and songs for the visual medium. Some of my memorable favs include though not necessarily exclusively; Hiroshima Mon Amor, Blade Runner, Interview with the Vampire, Dancer in the Dark, Bird, Piano, Mo Better Blues, 21 Grams, Sound of Music, Seven, Dogville, Lost in Translation, Shop Girl, Cache, Matchpoint, City of God, Evolution of a Filipino Family, Trainspotting, Almost Famous, Walk the Line, Mail Order Wife, My Little Eye, The Machinist, Memento, Artificial Intelligence, The Fountain, The Man who wasn't there, Lars and the Real Girl...Television
Books
I'm pretty fast with technical manuals...somehow! But I'm an incredibly slow reader with book novels and stuff. However what I do choose to stick to read and complete remain in vivid memory. Such books have had tremendous impact and influence on my outlook towards life and the meaning of it all before and after. Some of these include; In Search of the Miraculous, The Fourth Way, Siddartha, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Memnoch the Devil, Zen and the Guitar.Heroes
Ever since the birth of my beautiful boy Ramon, Jen Eveland my beautiful soulmate n wife, parents Antonio Liborio Arriola(Late) and Rosalind Arriola have become real life heroes for me. Jacq my sis in the UK who's a braveheart more so than myself. Everybody else that I admire and aspire to are all outstanding in the wide open field of love, life, soul and art.
