I am an ex member of 'This Dying Wish', which at the time included myself and J.Forrest (In playlists). I am self taught everything, guitar, singing, vague 'Reaper' user. I sometimes like to 'mash stuff up'. 'Sketches In Windows' is me on youtube with multiple windows open trying to figure out mashups in real time until i get Soundforge. Abit like tape to tape, stopping and starting to fit, big up 90's LOL. I record with my phone off a keychain speaker atm using a voice recorder app in real time, no edits, not even soundclouds hahahahahah.

The Guardian get it wrong here. There should be no real fashion in art history, it is history as accurate as we can paint it. It is censorship to remove art in favor of a more fashionable one. Art as with most things, should never have been about money. Art galleries are just show casings of the 'now' more fashionable version of art, and THAT IS re-writing art. So this article is abit biased. The art world is really what killed Basquiat and many others.
