All art is suffering. No half measures.

About Me

I have an old battered tentrack and a few other bits and pieces to make some noise. I'm lucky in so much as I have a lovely place to record these few tunes and I think that helps a lot - even in ways I'll probably never realise. I often think it is interesting to wonder if the aesthetics of the environment can creep into the music. Sometimes, when your lucky, its like coaxing a presence into the recording and the music is what results from that chance meeting. Often, music finds you the wound and music heals it, so if you took time to give these few tunes a listen I'm grateful and hope you found them interesting. All the songs are played on 'organic' instruments, as in no electronics or midi files. I have nothing against that form of music, I just don't understand it! Better off just sticking with guitar methinks :) I think myspace has endless potential for artists of all tendencies to collaborate, we are living in the golden age of art and music and myspace allows us all to share and learn from one another. History might judge this as a renaissance in its own right, so lets all make the best of it and collaborate, collaborate, collaborate!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/13/2008
Band Members:"I was a man who thrived on solitude; without it I was like another man without food or water. Each day without solitude weakened me. I took no pride in my solitude; but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me." [Charles Bukowski, Factotum, 1975]
Influences: "Once, if I remember well, my life was a feast where all hearts opened and all wines flowed. One evening I seated Beauty on my knees. And I found her bitter ... I called to the executioners that I might gnaw their rifle-butts while dying. I called to the plagues to smother me in blood, in sand. Misfortune was my God. I laid myself down in the mud. I dried myself in the air of crime. I played sly tricks on madness." [Rimbaud, A Season in Hell, 1872]
