Strange Textures

What’s that in the distance? Not black helicopters coming over the border, no. Blackcurrant helicopters, rotors beating a pattern into your brain that just won’t go away.

Long ramble this week about overusing a preset, loving my guitar, and working out how to be active in the world without creating the wrong influence. Possibly by turning a WWII airplane into the new Mystery Machine.

Rokay!

I get my guitars here: Munson Guitars

A space, holy, candle lit, fragrant. Also made of rather runny lime jelly.

Is there a difference between underwater and under waves? Either way, I get the date wrong, so don’t write in to tell me. I already know. Probably got the background music wrong too!

This week I’m exploring underwater.

A little bit this week about drumming and frustration, plus some good things and an abandoned BonkWave submission!

Good Things:

Taskmaster - New season has started and has Jason Mantzoukas

Emma Cox - art from Cornwall (or Kernow if you prefer)

Website

It’s my sister’s birthday today - Happy Birthday Sam!

On the influence of forests, how appropriate the word ‘fuzz’ is and some thoughts on teh textures involved in melody and harmony.

This week I start very small and very quiet, like a little creature in the forest visiting different campfires with different flavours.

Just a quick ramble about trying to play less and using different basic playing techniques to get ‘round’ sounds.

Also a plug for the new Bonk Wave Remix Album (available here) and other places too - the announcements will be on the main Bonkwave.org page.
