Being and the Gasp

About Me

So here I am the peak of my career, as a bass player, come twelve or so big fat long or short years later....sitting on myspace...or shall I just say my ass..... NAHH! just kidding...I really have been playing my ass off with quite a number of bands,yes some good, some bad, some drug induced, some fun, some not so fun but, since I left the Conservatorium in 2001 all Ive done is learn....will it ever stop, I dont know. Yes yes yes I dont know if you could call this a band bio as the Being Sprout Down is not a band....so there... but however the Being Sprout Down, does play music that Troy (the solo writer producer and executer of B S D) hopes one day will be performed, by a blistering team of hired musicians that he personally has a genuine love for. Although BSD is at this point a one man dream, stuck in the Bornword studios of Scarbrough beach, waiting to have half the songs finished, the other half silently brewing inside troys p4 harddrive (may it never crash or troy back it up) gaining melodic momentum and spiritual existence, which WILL soon be unveiled on the almighty internet. .....Troy is involved in a ’Band’ as such..... Vdelli. Yes indeed the one and only three fingered power punch that is Perths premier blues rock funk act. tight like a pass, heavy like a sledge hammer, soars high just like something in the sky that is far above the ground where everyones feet be firmly planted. On a friday eve however, Yes the all strong, that glides with complete grace and ugly beauty, so scary but you will not look away.Ric Whittle on the battery sarcasm, head rolling humour and high standards. Michael Vdelli him self on the sicks strings of lifes highs and lows, and thats why they call it the blues. last of all the people on this list be myself Troy Gennoe yes I am the, frightening to look at, incredibly intimidating to approach let alone talk to, feaster of the dead...but very humble...bass player Yes okay I am maybe, just the bass player...maybe...all of this maybe none of this but I am at least very proud very grateful and very privileged to be playing along side these two that have taught me so much about music and life taken me overseas and kick my arse every weekend.....and Im loving It.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/1/2007
Influences: influences.... well thats a funny thing. The question of what has influenced you and the person you are. this is where I say, "well it must mean musically" so... to not go into too much of a distracted explanation of my personal construction, i will do some sort of straight forward thing and put my personal influenza down, directly into this world of complete personal honesty, perversion and no chance of being discovered by the answer bareing god we are ALL looking for. It all started back in the days of my childhood liking what I heard in my mothers and fathers record and cassette collection, mind you all these things can never be named, and who can recall everything that has ever influenced them anyway from when they were dropped as a child to when a random lent them 40 cents to get on the bus after the fee went up...no one told you...did they. extreeme metal, rock and roll, classical, African, Indian, jazz, fusion, Frank Zappa, Paul Simon, Meshell Ndegeocello, Beck Hanson, the Beatles....well most of them. mental illness, fortunately and unfortunately my family. Now probly one of my biggest and most influential influences is the all powerfull, all inspiring, feeling that comes in a cup, not too healthy in large amounts sometimes extremely good, sometimes embarassingly un consumable depending where it from......drumroll please, pirotechnics, smokemachines as its is a complete mysteryand not to mention very mysterious....and yes Ive allready had too much...............................coffee...I think it deserves a capital letter, say it again...it...but seriousilly...Coffee. A big influence of sorts.
Sounds Like: A holden full of aussie fellas wearing clothes that are just that one size too small ( aparently one size does not fit all) driving through Zimbabwe, on a clear day...not a cloud in the sky but the air is moist, very moist. attached to the (of corse) tow bar of this holden ( its red) is a trailer (hired). The trailer is full. Full of stuff that makes you say and think stuff like hmmm, and ohhh also big ones.....the car keeps going. however it does not emit carbon fumes only sound. Sound that has a smell, not flowers, not lollies but sweet, very sweet...I like cake ,do you like cake...well it doesnt smell like that either. The juices of gastricity do flow as this vehicle does drive by, curiosity does fuel this tank arousel of ones desire of the twin reverb comes to mind the gastric juices do oozs a little bit more my mind is clear and fresh as the air that should be blown from the conditioning section of this Holden....well its an 89vn what can I say, but my mind is clear and fresh, fresh like the air which is the gasp. My being here, the frustration, the starvation, the the d.....got to go...ok Im back.....the deprivation, strangulated by lack of all things postitive...GASP!! there its mellow, undramatic relief, there it is back to BEING. Thats it, what more, being and the gasp, or shall I say Being Sprout Down and the Gasp for Fresh Airrrrrrr. Breath in.. . . .say ahhh. . . . ....relax, enjoy, the sound, the sweet sound.of Being and the Gasp.
