So...I am now in a relationship with one of my best friends. Her name is Annie, and it's been coming for a long time now. I've spoken about her before, and I've always been torn about just what to do about well, her. It was because of her that I realised that I'm bisexual, and I know I rarely make good decisions when my own emotions are involved, so having her be that one girl has made it even harder over the last couple of years to decide how exactly I feel about her.
Well, last night, we w
What I spoke about in my last entry is merely the unconscious, emotional level of what happens in all music, the basic and raw concept that is what keeps me so deeply enthralled and successfully captured my passion, this deep and unspeakable connection that cannot be achieved in any other way. How do we make rhythms and intonation and feelings work with each other when we play, how do we invite an audience to join us and see what we see as we play? I do not know. I haven't the faintest idea, bu
So, what has being going on in my life, I wonder? Well, I only seem to find the motivation to write an entry for this blog when I'm unbelievably excited about something and find myself with time on my hands-time being a rare luxury for me.
I suppose that's where I can start. Time. Now should be the part of the year where I have the most time: school holidays. I am however, trying to fit pretty extreme rehearsing for two entirely separate concerts, one of which involves a tour and a minor pop
I've come to the realisation that as a musician, I work at my best under pressure. Stress and pressure, time limits and deadlines, they all serve to make my work sharper, better, more organised. Pressure seems to be my main source of motivation. This is rather unfortunate, of course, because being stressed is not a nice state to be in...I hate the word nice...anyway, I find I've come to the stage where without something to work towards and a good solid deadline, I have trouble finding the motiva
I've just been reading others' blogs and thought I should really update my own. Part of what I'm thinking about as I'm writing this is how happy I am that virtually nothing has happened since last I posted. I've been leading a relatively uneventful life in terms of what I do each day, which usually involves waking up inexcusably late in the day, eating whatever catches my eye from the fridge and sitting at a computer to write or just to see who might be on skype for me to chat to. I've been so g
My first ever blog.
I've never been much good at diary entries, I've only ever been able to scribble down the occasional philosophical ramble after a particularly significant life event, and rather unfortunately and quite by chance, those ramblings often show off my darker side, the pessimistic side of me determined to drag my optimism into a deep pit, duct tape it to a tree and beat it with a stick. See? There I go again, starting off perfectly eloquently and ending in a slightly less pleas
