I'm curious what about his playing you find impressive/unimaginable. For me, the playing in the piece you linked felt rather pedestrian, so I'm thinking it was the effects he used. If you're interested in sounding like that, it's easily achieved using a short delay (with a longish decaying repeat) followed by a 16th-note tremelo. Your wildest dreams are within reach. :)
Oh yeah... I noticed all the delay and reverb and effects he put into the sound. But I was still impressed by his technique, and his very original style.

Being a typical middle aged fan of classic rock, this doesn't fit with any genre I favor. But it sounds awesome, and perhaps emotes a feeling of nostalgia.

I'll say Constantinople by The Residents. No joke, my dad used to play it for me in the car when I was about 3–4 years old, and we've since bonded over other weird experimental music.

it's tough to find the "Santa Lucia went wrong" song .. . from Tiju Jube - so we have to satisfy with this instead

Anyone ever heard of Leah Capelle
Likely not

But the pose is somewhat cryptic . . . ? is it an album "about my headaches" -- the girl looks nice(/ok) but the photographer or someone passed an error here . . . i wonder what they were thinking if at all . . . choosing such "emotion" for cover

But then, given the video's description, I would say the prose and cover art are 'spot on':cool:

The video's description said:
'alder lake' is a highly charged emotional journey within itself. Capelle explains, “alder lake was written during a time in which I felt as if I was existing as a shell of a person. I was lost. I leaned heavily on self-destructive tendencies in an effort to find myself again. I needed to go back to where I felt like myself. Back to where I was happy.

cover art are 'spot on'
on the second look it does not look "so" awful

but anyway the "out of space and time" looks always make me wonder what such suppose to be . . . the most likely explanation for is the lack of good idea or concept camouflaged under "cryptic nothingness" - leaving the audience an impression that the artist had a so genuine idea that no one can get it (while actually there is no idea only the lack of dedication . . . versus the fear to look normal or too common . . . insane)

But then that's the nature of art! One either 'relates' or not -- and utterly without regard to intellect, 'sophistication', 'cultured taste', etc... -- I, for example, confess to seeing much of Picasso's work as 'extracts from a drunkard's nightmares' -- sans apology!:cool: -- IMHO Those insisting upon 'artistic snobbery' put one in mind of The 'Emperor's New Clothes'.

Very best regards

Roughly, as an approximate 'cross' between that of Loren Salazar and MC Escher -- A good thing!:)

Best regards

I'm not familiar with Salazar... but I do love Escher. I read his biography, and it gave me the impression that he was an incredibly humble man. He had the type of talent that most artists would sell their souls to have.

I'm going to look up Salazar now... :)

what i kept in mind was how the "careless" "scene composition" may compromise the "output"

there are too many occasions when people tend to look better natural

Music That Makes You Smile...
Well... Here's a tune that seldom fails to make me make me laugh!;)


...Inasmuch as I assert that it's at least two orders of magnitude more difficult to 'lose a lover' in the 'latter part of autumn' for the trail to his whereabouts formed of his footprints [in the snow]... But then I 'spose that's a regional thing:cool:

I know! I need a Looooong rest!:oops:

this song makes me smile, not because it's particularly enjoyable or uplifting, but because it's laughable and serves as a perfect example of the unrealistic and conflicting expectations women too often have of men in our society.


If you don't want to listen I don't blame you; here's the essence of it:

"I will not accept a housecat. I require a ferocious feral Liger, untamed and bred for arena bloodsport, that will not chew my face off or even consider mating with other women. He must not pee on the carpet by the closet door, he must like to cuddle with me, and he must be absolutely submissive to my every whim."

This song came out the year I was born. It has been translated into english a few years ago with author's help.


It is ok, but is very light. The original lyrics are quite a bit more meaningful. I forgot about it until last week really. I dont remember why we crossed paths again but it made me cry (at my work). It is really about preserving your life through struggles by holding up your beliefs, dreams and convictions. They are what is carrying you through the sea of life safely...

The original:
