i like the sound of machines and forests and the rain and my electic guitar. i love the piano.
Im in a band at the moment called kikkawa/ward/scowen
which try to make sounds from anything at hand, some times traditional instrments, the dog whining, someone else smashing something, pre recorded sounds , clatter, drone, singing , we try to do things we have never done before, wich is very diffacult because we are humans (ithink) and make music we havnt herd before, sometimes it is terrable and some times it is wonderffull. we have two albums out now. "Ritual soot" & "You are in exile untill further notice.".
I just discoverd i am AS which looks as if many things about my life are starting to make sence.
I have terrable people skills especialy in groups, but when ii am playing music, performing in front of people ii can loose my self in the moment and feel free. i forget abot the people watching untill the music finnishes.
I have made music for over a decade but only started performing in the last few years. I was sick of being to scared to do it, now i realise what a crazy thing to do, choosing to perform in front of people, i can bearly string a coherant sentance together when im talking to more that one person at at time.
But i can do it esspecialy when other people in the band are more scared than me , i feel like i have to be brave to hepl them be brave.
i would like to perform more often and travell but i am aprehensive always about dealing with people and traveling and organising things involving other people. I hpe that ii can overcome this. New Zealand is a long way from the rest of the world!!
