Into The Light

Wow, talk about a serendipitous collaboration! I met Lucas at a local hangout during the last of the Quinn's experimental night series. Had a fascinating discussion about music and checked his blog next day. I found his unaccompanied track and instantly loved it - soulful, plaintive, an extraordinary "musical apology" that expressed far more than words could say. I hope this interpretation provides a fully layered listening experience without losing the moving essence of the original, which is available here:

Lucas Gonze & Fastus - For My Wife After We Had a Fight On Our Anniversary

“I'm growing more and more fond of imperfection. This isn't some knuckle dragging reaction against technology, but rather I just find the humanity of error engaging - and the accidents it causes often more interesting than perfection.
Maybe it's because of this, that I'm repeatedly drawn to earlier electronica, where imperfections were an unavoidable by-product of playing, bodging and stitching-together electronic compositions using tape loops and delays.
This is why this track - and in fact the entirety of the new album it features on "Walk-in Diorama" sounds as it does. It was all played by hand, with no sequencing, click-tracks or time fixes. Just played and combined using 4 stereo tracks.
People have mentioned it reminds them of Cluster or Harmonia. I did not set out to do this, but it seems, this way of working results not only in a feel, but also in a style, a time or even in a place. I find that interesting in itself." /Giles

Meet me on the corner
Of Renfield and of West Georges, lane I’m told,
Let us wander in the rain, on streets that glisten gold,
Talkin traffic, walking home


Meet me in the station
The sweetest sense of fuel, ignites the very soul,
The sound of engines,   People talking,
On the Square, where heads they once did roll.


City of dreams,
The likes of which you’ve never seen,
The curtain falls, our gift to all,
The people we have been,
Boarded windows, Empty houses,
Blackened buildings, broken homes


Meet me on the quayside,
that launched and hauled the earth across Pacific seas,
We’ll take a boat ride,  down the water
And gaze upon the firth, and on the Clyde.

The final piece. Each can be played separately or as a whole with the 3 parts together. Either way I hope the listeners get as much enjoyment from the songs as I did making them.

The Grande Expansion 3

Times change, ideas change, and so does the music. To make pleasing enjoyable music was the original idea, now the music has become the expression of thought, the expression of emotion. Painting sound-scapes with music is the ultimate goal. To bring the listeners on journeys of discovery, imagination, fear and sorrow. Take what you can from each song, but mostly, enjoy the ride, and have fun with it.
