about

Simulative of Mike Oldfield's 'Tubular Bells', which must have been a telepathic recommendation by Alan D photographer when I made this, because he mentions working towards more sets moods in tracks, rather than convolution and granularity. We can still have these things in music, but it tends to lose audiences in certain respects by the third piece.

I've attached the third piece of my first live electronics set - Piano Paint (Remix) where the set started to form into more than one mood - as a video from Alan. Well shot, it's a good encasulation of the sound of "Pop".

About TDD (The Dastardly Diaries) Chapter 8 (Audiobook)

During the making of more TDD - the Clipticisms concept was filtered into the Twitter model as a blueprint - here comes abother TDD: True Christmas. A diary where I actually bothered, like, to really make a diary of an album, rather than giving you a 90 track records of a diary over Autumn to Winter. And I dismantled some of my Dropbox folders with the old archives.

Nicely asking me for freebies is easy. True honesty more so.

Anyway - the chapter. It's the eigth one, and it's based on the eigth segue in TDD 2 (1) - true personality, nicely voiced by pacific (I can still recite the entire Clipticism). "A vast number of people (the majority) seem to have developed a fake personality for themselves in the absence of one of their own. I understand everyone puts a bit of an act on, but I'm talking total deception of the self". This is still the most resonant piece of writing on sociology I've read, on MySpace of all places, and pacific did say feel free to use it if I think people would benefit from it. I don't think it's funny. And I think a lot of people have deliberately been deceiving others over the last decade - more than the eternity before - just because they can. Because it gives them a power trip. Because it satisfies their ego. What happened to good humour and not ridicule?

SO I had an idea. How to take a humor-promoting theme - goodwill at Christmas - and turn it into something of a blueprint for a Xmas album. For all producers. Using conventional scales on guitar and keyboard, a pivotal track called "Pop" that aims at Mike Oldfield, and lots of stream-of-consciousness talk concerning life, love and getting on with concepts. Ideas. Pure and simple positives.

"Pop" is yours for 89p. If you'd like the full thing, it's yours for £2. 2 packs of cheapest beer in the shop. Just ask. You're welcome. :Hugs)

The video is the first one I've uploaded to the web of me. I don't know if others are available from people that are not Alan D. He done this one.

lyrics

"People experience a bad conscience and feel guilt for a reason. It's usually because deep down they know they've done something wrong. If you learn to supress your conscience without at least attempting to correct the wrong (or avoid doing the wrong act), you will leave a trail of destruction behind you". ~ Pacific.
