Beftahk

Check out hANK, I'm playing bass with Iason (drums) and Idir (Guitar and vox), and between us have made a connection that will vibe you :o) Not busy enough, Bef is playing bass with The Archers... Sarrane on guitar and vox, Neil on drums, and Lluis on 2nd guitar. Bef also plays bass with The Budda Cakes !! aaaaaaaaargh!Beftahk crafts, works and performs the art of his music (arty-fartying) for heart's sake. The music that he is aspiring to is still in his head, though the belief is that the truth is about to truly burst onto the world as we know it (adorn yourselves with the appropriate breathing devices): you have been warned.Beftahk has recently set himself up on myspace to further the natural inclination that possesses him to create music. The ultimate goal of which is to share the music with those of you that find something of benefit within it. At present, the songs that have been uploaded for your ear holes to process represent an initial 'development' period whereby Beftahk has worked to hone his song writing abilities. At this point in time (The Present), Beftahk is working very creatively to take to another level the skills so far attained; to truly discover hie own unique voice in this art-form we term 'music'.With many songs already written, Beftahk is re-forming a band that can help express some of his dreams, thoughts, feelings and ideas. Bassists listen up, drum beaters (maybe you Misha!?) too, string strummers and electro-pick people 'AHOY!'; Beftahk wants you to play for the music's sake, to get the set on the road (rehearsal and playing and jamming as often as possible ie every fucking day), and play... Ram it down the throats of unsuspecters, until it sticks?! That's one way of looking at it...Beftahk is 'The Nomad of Purple'. He is 'almost' an alien, and is said to have been born this time around in Hampstead, London, just by Whitestone Pond. The seed from which his mother's egg was fertilised came from the deepest reaches of outer space as well as through certain dimensions and 'not quite parallel worlds'. Mother to the being from 'OCTROZIL' was a gorgeous performer and actress named Wanda. Beftahk has lived mostly London (North), spent a few years in Paris as a teenie weenie, then a year in Boston USA to see out those precious teen years and there studied at Berklee College of music (very Punk Rock!), some time back now. Played electric bass guitar all of the time for ages, really into it, dont know y, but there you go, and still can play. Always been into composing and aranging and writing and messin with 'puters and such. Play all sorts of bits and pieces also. Took a break a few years back when it was all too much like run of the mill and without truth and last couple of years been back to it, more inspired by the simplicity thats available to us as far as creation is concerned; a quote: 'i mean its all there as it is, just have to snatch it out from in between the molecules'. so this time 'round Beftahk has been playing guitar more than anything, acoustic mostly, with more electricity these last few weekz (turning into months)... and singing along original songs, and writing and writing, forging; its quite a challenge and one or two are pretty excellent as far as anyone is concerned. Beftahk has played them solo, and more recently with a couple of people from way back, drums (Si) and bass (Rob), but they live the ordinary life mostly ie work and have time to relax and hobbies and the such so Beftahk is now searching to get a three piece (at least) or some such together for that.'i'm into a diversity of stuff, and its hard to say or pinpoint, on the one hand predominantly i am working to get my band together, which is based around rock, punky folk (at the mo acoustic guitar, but more and more leaning to the electric ;~). Also into crazy weird time signature rackets with any or little tonality (check out 'Octrozil'). i've tried avantgarde, jazz, blues, fusion, funk, rock, psychedelic, pop, metal, electronic and so on and so forth (long live punk), so i have been too diversified. like i say, doin my own thing is bringing FOCUS... My voice is finding me. still as i see it, looking to see what inspiration we can get as music people from one another, one way or another'.Beftahk is looking for the Peace to Increase, and for that to happen believes that everyone must look to share their energy and intensity as they see fit. A sabbatical of 7 came to a close 3 ago and the time has arrived whereby nature must have it's way.'I have an inclination for all things a little dark and slightly rough around the edges, as opposed to clean and tidy, so alternative, punky; twisting and molding and experimenting with what adds a twist of the original to the mix. all with a focus of a certain flavour of 'attitude'. some intensity! with contrast: sweet and ugly, sour and gorgeous'...Beftahk is looking for a sound to lift and enjoy, inspiringly, having written songs that need cohesion in a band setting, for others to listen to and interpret, to explore.'So noodled with bass guitars for most of my time, chalked up too many a long night in the company of a microprocessor, turned to the pen and guitar to sing and construct, & want to recreate and create more. I have thrown in the yodling, and NOW I WANNA ROCK! I have found many a key to other not quite parallel worlds, and want very much to share in their aura with some like minded souls: ...anybody in my tree?'
