Some people have real problems

Hello peeps.

I would like to start this post by telling everyone who thinks I talk too much, to fuck off, get out of my life, leave me alone, die far away from me, i shall ignore your presence for the rest of my life and I will be very very happy.

Thank you.

Now, for those who appreciate life without having to gossip or tell bad things about and to others, here's my videos of the day.

May I just make my little manifesto of life shortly before I proceed (don't want to burn my precious ones left):

I live for art, for imagination and happiness. I believe in love and harmony. I believe if we hold hands we will generate enough energy for a meal. i am there if anyone needs and I give my skin (cos i have loads of it) just to see someone smile

OK, wash those tears away.

Compose.

Focus.

We're back.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am having a life crisis... So often I come to Youtube to look for new ideas.

Last week was amazed by documentaries about Brian Eno (must show the one about the 70 milion paintings), have spent many insomnia nights listening to Beck, and recently have been checking SIA out.

When her solo album " colour the small" came out i couldn't get it out of my discman... but kinda faded away...

Anyway, yesterday checked SIA out, see what she was doing.


OH MY GOD! THAT'S IT! THAT'S JUST WHAT I NEEDED.

Check this out! I was going to write lots of things, but I talk too much...

Let the images speak cos they have 1000 words in each...now make the maths and carry on living!

Buttons ( dedicated to Do-not-push-my-buttons). live at Jools Holland



(ah! lyrics express my day, it's part of the manifesto)You got me pushing imaginary buttons
Step away from me lover, away from me lover
You got me counting imaginary school children
Get away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I can see that my carpet is animated
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I see you open wounds in everyone I’ve dated
Away from me lover, get away from me lover

I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
Oh oh oh oh
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
Oh oh oh oh

You got me turning all the lights on and off
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
When will you see that I am carrying this stuff
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Can’t you see that I am losing my marbles
It’s marvellous losing another, losing another

I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
Oh oh oh oh
I am no good for you
I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do
Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Oh oh oh get away from me lover, away from me lover
Oh oh oh step away from me lover, away from me lover
Oh oh oh walk away from me lover, away from me lover

Human Beat Box

Yo all!

Hope you're all well and jolly!

As I've been slowing down a bit, I've also been discovering new artists and new ways of "making music" - one needs to get some inspiration somewhere...

So I found Jamie Lidell. Not only he is a hottie, but also he knows what he's doing and he does it like no one else!

This is the most recent footage of his tour... He is just playing with his favorite instrument.

Enjoy!

Come Back

Hello all!

After my long absence I'm back... Guess I've been busy and now life is making me slow down a bit so I can restart communicating with you all again...

In these last few months I've been busy living... I've been to Iceland and back where I had a life changing experience... have been thinking a lot about life and what we are doing here - should we go back to being more savage and we could live better lives? Friendships and the reasons why some individuals come our ways - good and bad ways... why some of them leave us for another 20 years, and others why they happen to visit in the first place...

I have started doing my own videos now so hopefully i'll be able to show you some of them soon (ish)... I've been making stop frame animations with only one tool... which I cannot reveal otherwise my plan will go down the drains of creativity.

I've also plugged the keyboards and have been exploring music. It's still a very early approach and haven't improved much... but it's a long process...

And what a mind fuck this is... you look at the keyboard and you think " all music is here, all of it, there, waiting to be played..." yet i press a key and some horrible sound comes... I need to find my rhythm and my melody... but it's kinda of a philosophical one let me tell you. the way i've been trying to approach music is more in a sound technician way... so back to the books as-well...

I don't think I'll be able to relax in the next 80 years... I have realized how much I need to learn and what I need to learn, but where to start is the most difficult part... it's like playing solitaire... but one of those really really difficult games...

Anyway, good to see you all. Hope you like to see me back!

I have recently been amazed downloading applications for my iphone. If you have the chance check my latest addiction "Bloom" from Brian Eno.

Also have been back to my Matthew Herbert records.
