twitinstasis & his acoustic cheese foundation

About Me

twitinstasis & his acoustic cheese foundation is the one man bandy legged offspring of the electrique cheese fundacion & the short lived twitinstasis 80,s drama student joke reborn in the new minellium as the same band with a computer error making life too difficult to spell.Singer & guitarist, poetaster & mostly painter of pictures as opposed to walls (although Michaelangelo did ceilings so if the pope needs the owd place redoing, give us a call) this diminuitve face alike of Sebastian de Morra lost first his voice when his nose rebelled on returning from Eire against the putrescence of England's car infested land & left him with year round hayfever & then his hands with some sort of arthritic condition brought about by impending middle-age. a lover of ee cummings he shuns the full-stop period except for dramatic effect & loves the dylanesque free-form ramble (thomas not bob) the general lorquian madness & is often to be heard making strangely poetic curses in spanish about birds without sky and human cockroaches, all giving him the appearance of a mad man, jarry-like with a slight limp & less offensive protuberances under his hat. he has a large collection of head ornaments to which he considered having multiple heads grafted on so as to save on time wasted deciding which one to wear but after serious consideration decided it better to just pile them all onto the one he has been growing since about 9 months before birth. then one day the worst thing happened that after years of playing at the drop of a hat (& this happened quite a lot until somebody suggested using string) he faced the audience , made one last song & ran away screaming into his nervously wrecked confidence trickled away like tears in rain.For many years this dwarf-like figure of a man couldn't get his aching fingers to play a guitar so he started to learn ones with smaller fret-boards or none at all until one day he decided that a large 12 string may not have been the best choice of guitar for somebody as small a he & chose a smaller guitar.

Show great respect for your fellow beings. Work together for the benefit of all Mankind. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed. Do what you know to be right. Look after the well being of mind and body. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good. Be truthful and honest at all times. Take full responsibility for your actions. Great Spirit, give us hearts to understand; never to take from creation's beauty more than we give; never to destroy wantonly for the furtherance of greed; never to deny to give our hands for the building of earth's beauty; never to take from her what we cannot use. Give us hearts to understand that to destroy earth's music is to create confusion; that to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty; that to callously pollute her fragrance is to make a house of stench; that as we care for her she will care for us. We have forgotten who we are. We have sought only our own security. We have exploited simply for our own ends. We have distorted our knowledge. We have abused our power. Great Spirit, whose dry lands thirst, help us to find the way to refresh your lands. Great Spirit, whose waters are choked with debris and pollution, help us to find the way to cleanse your waters. Great Spirit, whose beautiful earth grows ugly with misuse, help us to find the way to restore beauty to your handiwork. Great Spirit, whose creatures are being destroyed, help us to find a way to replenish them.Great Spirit, whose gifts to us are being lost in selfishness and corruption, help us to find the way to restore our humanity.

Influences: when he was a young man, well a child twitinstasis wanted to be Elvis, either that or all of Kiss depending on whose make-up he liked best that day. later he wanted to be a rambling Woody Guthrie but being a vegie the hamburger diet was out & not being a dust-bowl in sight he decided to grow up & be daevid allen instead. were these influences, I don't know. at 13 the blues & dylan & 60's pop-rock progressed into prog rock & rapidly ran away screaming at too many chord changes & po facedly arrived at the jazz fusion clowns of Zappa, Gong & Soft Machine whome he loves to this day. the booming god-like voices of Leonard Cohen & Patti Smith (so who said God was a boy's name) with poetry & music lulled his aching heart to sleep & gave solace to his anger & a burning desire to save the world( he wasn't sure what he was saving it for but there was always a little room in the shed for another little you-never-know-when-it-might-come-in-useful-thing-a-ma-jig). Tom Waits saw him through many whiskey soaked nights (or precisely 1 as he can't stand the stuff it makes for a maudling drunk) & low-fi'd the hi-brow with strangely cocked eye-brow spock-like into his increduality.Ravi Shankar & John Mclaughlin taught the opposing beauties of musical space & in his own mind sounding like the latter until one day he heard himself & realised that up until this point everything he'd believed was wrong, or at least mistakenly over-optimistic. On the other hand how much of these are influences and how much just music he likes and why does he keep referring to himself as he when he's really an I. Such mysteries of life we are here to fathom & of them all this must be the least. The sound of a stream and waves breaking, birdsong, the distant rush of a motorway, cables blowing in the wind and the windmills of my mind (which has got to be one of the weirdest, meaningless songs that anybody ever thought they understood) oh yes & the wind. These are all influences too. I particularly like playing guitar in a lightning storm, acoustic obviously, after all I'm mad not stupid....don't tell anyone but I quite like Cilla Black too... ssShhh!!!
Sounds Like: rain on a hot tin roof or tinitus at 2 in the morning when nothing can drown it out except the squeaking of fingers on a blackboard or my neighbores gate banging in the wind at 2 in the morning, god i hate that gate.
