ADD SPLASH!
My son, making music, writing, running sound... reading, listening, gardening, meditation, history, astrophysics, planetary physics (ask me about Pegasi 51 or Hot Jupiters) living, breathing, mountains, warm green places after a summer rain, cool damp places after an autumn rain, sunny and cold winter days, old damp castles (yes, as a matter of fact, I have been in several), dark places...watching orion journey across the sky finding old haunts and looking for their former owners!! HR Gieger (duh) He's only the coolest AND designed J. Davis' microphone stand. You have hit the BIG when you fet a PERSONAL GIEGER.
Edward Gorey's writing and art. May he rest in peace.
I'd like to meet:
My FLIR Thermal Imaging Cam!!!
Hunter S. Thompson (May he have found happiness)
Jonathon Davis (and all the rest of the band INCLUDING THEIR SOUNDMAN AND PRODUCER)
Steven Severin, Siouxsie Sioux, Budgie, Lisa Gerrard, Alister Crowley, Raymond Buckland, Silver Ravenwolf, Brian Eno, Ellen Dugan, Scott Cunningham, Gerald Gardner, Syd Barrett, Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs (I have a link with Mr. Burroughs I can not explain), Jesus, Salvador Dali, Diana, Brighid, Hecate, Saturn, Mary Magdalene, Ramses II, Constantine, Cesar Augustas, Marcus Ariluis, BAST, Cleopatra, Augustus, Perry Farrell, I think perhaps Johnny Depp, His Holiness the Dali Lama, St. Michael the Archangel, the Nephalim, Seraphim, Cherubim... and anyone reasonable intelligent.
What a scary, no interesting list! If they had a section of who I'd like to work with, or take classes from then I'd have to say: Ryan Buell or Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, Dave Tango, Steve of course and Brian and Justin. Being a sound engineer, I would probably suprise them with my knowledge of electronics... (of course toot toot my own horn, but I'm no ordinary Woman I paid my dues and everyone elses being a female sound engineer.) Enough said. I also have a pretty vast knowledge of the occult. Uh, yeah... I read books.
