Pateran

"Without music, life would be a mistake" -Nietzsch

About Me

Pateran is the name given to a coded sign made from sticks and leaves, used by native South Americans to identify paths and directions through the forest, - a sort of SatNav system without an annoying voice. The music is driven by human emotions. I hope that something in the music resonates with you, and perhaps acts as a signpost to help you through your own forest.JamieCCheck out this winning video in the Radiohead competition, - very cool!

postman’s inner child

Was out walking today in the autumn air.  I saw the old postman collecting conkers under a chestnut tree, - all thoughts of his bike and the postbag temporarily suspended in his boyish enthusiasm...

Quotations - a shot in the arm

So just as I am surging ahead creatively to bring new tunes into the world, the brakes are slammed on hard and my head hits the dashboard because - MY AUDIO LAPTOP IS BROKEN.  It just froze up an...
