Music For Quiet Moments 49 - Time Calls

Music For Quiet Moments 49 - Time Calls (Charlotte 22 Feb 2006)

Diffused Dead Icon Inspires Hobbyist To Exceed Entry Level Building Skills is the first track from a new project called "Then She Reaches For The Gun". Its inspiration is two fold: Firstly its a homage to some of the stuff i grew up listening to like Mr. Bungle and other noisy bastards where anything goes, and often in quick fire succession and secondly its a chance to work with an never ending stream of talented musicians that i have known for years either in real life Australia or via the Internet. Each track will no doubt change depending on who has sent me what. On this particular little thing we have the following personal
Dane Renshaw ( Australia/Japan)   - Drums
Primaloops (Australia)                      - Drums/Percussion
Frank Wilke (Germany)                     - Trumpet
Paul Miller(U.S.A)                              - Keyboards
Dani Kirby (Australia)                       - Piano
Juan A Miñana (Canary Islands)      - Electronics
Phil Bywater                                         - Tenor Sax
Carolyn Wigston                                  - Voice
Glenn Ward                                          - Guitar
Neska Wigston                                     - Barking/Growling
Me                                                         - Bass Guitar/Noise/arrangement

The process is simple, I collect a bunch of random recordings from people and then see what i can arrange from it. Nothing subtle here, just huge noisy fun : ) I am open to anyone that thinks they might like to be part of this mess. Drop me a message and i will send you my email. The only criteria is that i wont be using samples from TV/film/other music etc, so just original stuff played on instruments, field recordings, stupid drunk conversations etc. Thanks to everyone involved, i am having a ball

I hope the Wild Edges speak for themselves. The rest is what happens between them.

I have limited know how and equipment, but think that feeling is more important than hardware and technical ability. 

I decided to stop liking other artists tracks, even if i do like them. I was feeling the pressure to like tracks when i listened to them, especially when people sent them to me to listen to, worried that if i didn't i would upset or offend the artist if i didn't like them, its easier just to like privately. Misunderstandings sadly happened too easily, so i'm distancing myself from the possibility of hurting anyone and of being hurt myself.  Maybe it is better being alone after all. Soundcloud is just like anywhere else where there are lots of people...it can be difficult.

I won't follow, listen, or like, for followers, listens, and likes, so, please, don't ask me to. 

This is a creative escape.

I am always trying to be quiet, but often fail, and to do better.

For Headphone listening
Thank you for listening
