Morning!

My cold is on the way out, and the sun is shining. What more could I ask for?

(Well, a boyfriend/girlfriend, I suppose)

Boker Tov Melly

Ta muchly! :)

hurray!!!


and some free money.

money for nothing and chicks for free!

I'm terribly hungover. Somebody come over and bring me some tea and give me hug?

aw...wish i could help.

for now i think i ll hug myself and eat smth. should start working, but i m feeling sleepy and its cold in here now. no energy whatsoever.

also i m bit confused.
how to treat this thread over post irrelevant one.
dont remember the differences.
so i ll just say we have 2 places to rant, which suits me fine.
probably this is more chatty? dunno.

Hey Nefeli,

can I send you a recording of something i'm working on atm!
you have to tell me if it's shit or something.
i really can't tell myself.

yeah sure.
(atm is?--- oh you mean at the moment. man i m worthless today).

Slovakia is losing to USA 1:7 in the Winter Olympics
(ice hockey tournament)
and I've been having severe depressions since I came back to Europe
not the best period, to be honest

Sorry to hear that Slavo. I'm really doing better since a few weeks. Had 2 extremely shitty years (depression, terrible break up with my long time gf, health problems). But things are starting to look better since a while now. Really enjoying my job (i'm dishwasher/cook in small restaurant now and everyone who works there is awesome), playing quite a lot of shows with different projects and people, started painting, doing gig posters, organizing shows. Yeah, things aren't so bad for me. I do drink a bit too much though.
Last weekend I took some shrooms (for the first time since a few years) and that was really cleansing and cathartic. Really could let go of some depressing thoughts.
Slavo, you should take some shrooms dude! haha,
no. kidding.

Hey Nef,
so here it is:

Guitar/Bass/Drums
it's an impro-thing.

We're planning on playing this kinda stuff accompanied by a live performance dancer. She's really good professional dancer from Paris. Usually she's doing these performance-dance things with body projections (images, texts by Deuleuze and Butler).I'm not so fond of Judith Butler however.

Do you think this is a good idea?


everyone else's opinion is appreciated of course, if you care to bother.

That's her:


She's very beautiful + super clever + amazing dancer.
So, now I'm thinking:
Is it sexist to have this super pretty female dancer acompany 3 ugly dudes doing bad impro?

hey i like it!

im at 4th min now and dunno if i ll have much more to say on the soundscapes. i really like them.


will edit this post.

i like that sound at min 2 - goes on for 40 secs, sounds smth like a throat instrument.
and what is happening after min 3. with the guitar.
you have a sort escalation after 03:50 which goes louder at some points and i like that
you can use this again and for longer - i mean, i dont know your plans and i m not an expert, but i think you can go with this improv easily for 30 mins or more - ah nice you do that after 05:10 again
the calmer part is fine as well, but smth bothered me after 07:30..too clean sound if you know what i mean.
great sounds last 2 mins at the summing up!

regarding the visuals.
the dancer is super beautiful!
i just will never make up my mind about visuals during live performances.
in improv especially i like not having any, because i make my own in my head. on the other hand, sometimes they fit very well.
dancing surely will fit with that piece. i dunno what exactly you meant she does -should look it up.
and if its sexist? lol cuz i think that way myself - i mean generally i wonder about stuff like that.

this isnt sexist, right? its beautiful.

no-- it's definitely an improvement

it's all in the setup though

better not trash the art thread. dunno.

so i m trying to find a solution for black and white abstracts.
from my little encounter thats hard!
if i could add just one more colour it would be tons easier.

so. the solutions so far...

 

(posted before now i wanna puke)

 

(posted before - for Adam).

yesterday's

 

it ended up like this shit

 

this is a part of larger one; the large isnt ok. this part somehow works.

 

and this

 

--- a side and very serious problem with all that i need to solve is how to make the shinny parts really shinny. cuz thats just the light. they need light to show.
pff.

^^ i really like those. i can't see the light on them.

do you mean how to make them shine on the paint itself or in the photo?

Thanks Nefeli!
I really appreciate your thoughts! Haha, the sound at min 2 is basically tormenting strings with an electric nosehair razor.
I agree with the too clean guitar stuff going on at around 7:30.

My favourite one of the pictures you just posted is probably the 3rd one in your first post. It's dark, kinda scary. I like that. I have no idea how to make shinny white colours. You could try using sperm.
:-)
Then again, better not. It stinks and there always seem to be annoying factor in it's production.

I also like the first one. Somehow kinda spacey and rough! I can imagine it hanging in the cockpit of Serenity from Firefly.

btw.
that Alasehir video is probably my favourite thing on youtube. I watch it at least once a week. so good.
