ha, yea this was loaded — the story evokes a lot of pictures for me. this was fun making with all the cuts!

jaja, ¡no tanto evolucionado sino simplemente en paz con todas las demás criaturas! Atesoro tus escuchas, amigo, ¡mantente bien!

ms. A! i’m moving to your rhythm, even tho you might not tell from this track! it’s an old tale — i love looking to those stories for inspiration!

thank you for such kind words, Wayne! that voice kills me — who would develop an english text to japanese accented voice? that’s no holds barred!

thanks, man! this was one where i think i was able to follow my text pretty faithfully.

gracias, ion! glad you liked the beat!

ian, you are too kind to give these tracks a listen and comment, mate! this one especially is calling me back to it … whether to sharpen or blur remains to be seen! i would kill to get the space and definition of your sounds!

out of the blue and into the black as neil young says!

you know, after listening to some real trad stuff and considering your comment, i love the idea! thanks, man!

that’s the crucial thing with me is fighting the urge to overplay — things start going right, i get excited, now it’s all fucked up. and a loopstation’s unforgiving. so your comment means a lot!

hey man my whole recording setup cost about $20!

muito obrigado, meu amigo, por ver o ator na música e ouvir sua história com tanta clareza. é por isso que sempre valorizo ​​sua escuta - você usa seus olhos!

hello ms. A of the everchanging avatar! (you’re a bit of a Scheherazade!) haha, i am that good sir’s squire, i know all about him but i can’t talk here…
err i mean how flattering, really!
i’m so happy to hear your latest tracks, you are just as magic as your avatar, seemingly appearing at will in any musical setting you choose and playing hell out of it. i’ve had the good fortune to chat a bit with mickey/monkwee and he’s been a big fav so i was so surprised and happy. to catch that collab, he must be really chuffed!

hey, man — cheers for the listen!

i sure appreciate yr ears — you hear it as it was intended!

it saves the spleen!

it was made at such a different time, but this one still speaks to me. i want to play again more regularly, and so i am grateful for yr encouragement!

hey Paul, i had a similar day yesterday — listened to a week’s worth of loop i missed and yes i too retired in bliss. glad you got the undercurrent!

haha, he wants to know who i’m calling a ballad! i’m too happy you liked this mate and geeked about collab!

Hello Micky! thanks for enduring this experiment and i am too pleased you enjoyed the journey, mate!

natch!

thank you, Steven! it begs a lot of indulgence, and i’m really grateful for the listen. i wanted to experiment with longer sound sources and spent a lot of very pleasurable time ‘curating’ these sounds. my spirit guides on this were that bastard out of scotland who i’m mad at for being a genius and john oswald’s mix of the dead playing darkstar (talk about indulgence).
cheers, man!

thank ye, Wayne! i read the book, highly recommended— i ain’t caught the whole flick yet, but i know there are some crucial differences that make for thought-provoking contrasts. hadn’t been thinking on that when the title came upon me, but yep, i’m adopting that. many thanks!
