It's me.////// Salve Everyboudy, I just want to say that I really appreciated Ted's post. Every word of it felt exactly right with me. I think music is all about communication and because of that it could be a mistake to hang on to "performing tricks" instead of hooking up with the essence of you own personality to coax that music out. I never liked the term "shoe-gazing" since I have happened to hear some "shoe-gazers" that make outstanding music. But if the music sucks, a shoe-gazer is of course twice as boring. A very good Swedish guitar player dropped a clever line about playing true music. He said "playing is like talking - don't overdo it, 'cause you don't want to talk bullshit. Think about what you want to say, then say it and shut up". I liked that! BTW you can check out his music at http://www.kennyhakansson.se/ if you like :-) And I like long pieces too! Matthias Grob played a 12 minute solo piece here in Sweden back in June and it was fantastic! It's called Physio and posted at http://www.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/LiveLooping/index-3.html for you that want to check it out. Later on at an outdoor festival in August I played a duo set with Per2Per that clocked in for 59 minutes. From time to time I did feel a bit alienated on stage but when listening back to the recording, and hearing it as the audience heard it, I simply love it!!! When at stage I had no idea about the strong vibe created by that music. I'm happy we kept it flowing for all that time! -- Best wishes Per Boysen www.boysen.se www.looproom.com
