Roswell: " ".

Now the performers are two.
Ghosts stories are not allowed ("I want to believe" was a great quote!)

Is music a reflection/translation/ pervertion of human brainwaves? Too much "X-Files"?
Repetition is always present, even if we`re not able to see it.

The dilemma of the pseudo-believer who is trying to erase humanity`s ridiculous examples of "faith" from the face of the earth. Success is exactly similar to failure!

Finally, the lines in my channel were written by Robert Smithson, an artist & writer who worked in the 60s & 70s. His writings are really interesting! Check out his site, if you feel like...

If this sounds pretentious (not in a pejorative way), so be it. We enjoy complex music, books, films, paintings. It`s a complex time after all, right?

I`ll try to upload other vids, wich are really different! Some noisy-free jazz, a little concrete instrumental music. You can give me your opinion! =D

Thanxs for the comment! The idea behind this music is that I am able to exclude my "own sound" from the performance. It`s what I`m trying to do!

Repetitive notes, a complete lack of emotion, several lines trying to compete with each other. Machine logic. Information overload!

Just like a day in this inmense pool of data, where you can be reading a book, listening some music, watching tv, answering your cell phone; at the same time!

It`s a musical metaphor of this day & age.

Yes, you can compare this improv with Don cab`s "american don". But I never wanted to clone other people`s styles. You can say the same about don cab sounding like Crimson in the early 80`s! And you can find several differences if you listen this improv again.

This style of music (wich is fantastic in a philosophical way!) was born in late 50s, early 60s. Check out pieces written by Riley, Reich, Glass, Adams, Adriessen. That`s our inspiration. A complex example of minimalist music...

yeah its pretty awesome, some really nice ideas present in this but a little too much don cab heydey and not enough of your own sound. i'd still probably buy any material you had.

and the whole artsy stuff all over your page and video info is a little grating, there is such a thing as being condescending to intelligent people.

just m'thoughts :)
