Alone at home, me and my synth, improvising. Discovering true freedom through music creation, only to find out that freedom requires time. I do not have time, so I compromise: I develop songs by serendipity, slowly, without stress. It may take a lifetime. Meanwhile, the songs are incomplete by definition, I will improve them when I can. They are seeds of possible music, in the process of growing, eventually into large trees, branching to reach interesting musical places. Anyone can help, developing a branch in any direction, with total freedom, independently. Mmmm... "Social music", what's that?
(There are ~125 original, free songs at Soundclick.)
As you can see, I like sky, clouds and trees. And also water, birds, nature, ideas, surrealism, anvils and stuff like that.
At another time, this was another place Twisted together, we were liquid and safe and small From the depths of a serpentine ocean, To the edges of untouchable skies, We didn't understand what held us together But paint doesn't know when it dries.
The Go-Betweens were able to sieze the awfulness of loss, capturing moments when your stomach sinks into a sullen lead ball and the backs of your knees ache and there's a whirrling noise in your head.
Hallo, How are you? and Thanx + me
I like your music is fine
love and respect from Italy
and thanx for visit myspace.
a hearty welcome my friendship...
you come to find to me every now and then.
Thanks for adding me - I was touched by your comment on Julian Cope's website. I played a gig once and Kate St John, who played oboe on his songs, was also on the bill - I gushed to her on how much I loved the oboe she played on JC's stuff. Anyway, I like the sound of what you do and your approach. Will no doubt have more to say when I've listened at greater length.
Thank you so much for your message and your friendship... It's really important to us to read that kind of feed backs on our music... It's much appreciated !
Here, I'm at work and I can't listen to your music... But promised, when i'll come back home, i'll have a listen :-)
