i like the smell after it has rained, the woods, dreaming, cups of tea, wandering aimlessly, the beach, more tea, maybe with some sandwiches, and some pastries, and biscuits, and...all food really. Art and Music of all kinds bar obvious tat. These two subjects are what i believe i was born to be involved in. They encourage me to practice hard and persue relevant Philosophies, info on both Cognitive science and psychology and the cultural development of Civilisation and the human condition, in the hope of better informing whatever i am compelled to create.
Open-minded individuals who have the same instinctive drive to be creative. People who are willing to share their own opinions and theories as well as listen to those of others..."Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication."...
8-Bit music of any kind. My own is on the Artomatron page! Venetian Snares. I listen to, play, and write mainly guitar based stuff - Juan Martin, Segovia, and assorted other flamenco and classical players. Django of course. Brandt Bjork-esque things, the Doors, Various blues artists...then theres the good old hair metal and neo-classical noodlings of Extreme, Satriani & Malmsteen(don't laugh). Electronica is pure goodness also. Proper mad experi-mentalism too. Stockhausen beast. Apart from that, most D'n'B, some breaks, bit'o techno etc.
TRON, Baraka, the 'qatsi' films, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, the stop-motion epics, Amelie, Le planet sauvage, Belleville Rendez-vouz, and other animated works - anime like Spirited Away, Howl's, Ghost In The Shell 1&2. Crocodile Dundee in LA and Jackie Chan's 'Gorgeous' for comedy value.
Things that are interesting for my eyes. Mostly Documentaries etc though occasionally get drawn into a trash opus.
The odyssey, Relational Aesthetics, Electronic Plastic, Anatomy for the artist, Acorn user 1985, Greek art and archaeology
