GOODBYE

Hello world...or at least a very very very small portion of it....

I'm taking a break from music...for a while...all that means is that I won't be posting anymore mp3s...nothing new for a while. Ive gotta stop just releasing new songs just for the sake of releasing it...it's like every time Ive finished up a song, I feel like I have to put it up, cause Im so excited about it....its in the spur of the moment...and I have to stop doing that. I think Ive made that pretty clear (i.e. see past posts)

And I STILL haven't found MY sound..I feel like all the songs Ive made up to this point have been trying to mimic what someone else is doing. I think influences should be influences and nothing more. Every time I hear a new sound I really like, I try to mirror that and most of the times...it doesnt sound right. It doesnt sound like me. It's taken me 4 years to realize that, but it's about time I start doing something rooted in me. Ive gotten tired of this constant recording...I mean, almost all of my songs were written and recorded within a day....and that's not me bragging, it's me saying that what Ive been releasing hasnt been made with the time and care it deserves.

So...no EP in the future....but I will be releasing a split with Top Girls...I wont back out on that.

So, Spiritif Records will be returned to it's original name of CONTACT FROM BEYOND. And yes, I know that'll be a big hassle to everyone who's posted a link about this site. But I guess that'll be nice, like if someone is reading about me, their journey will end with that broken link....causing me to grow ever more into the background. Ha look at me, talking like Im famous or some shit. Anyways, I'll be posting music and things that I like. Nothing new from me for a while tho...which should be good. It'll only be stuff from artists and musicians and people and things and pictures and all that crap.....

Well...that was a lengthy read, maybe you got bored and drifted off. But really tho, as Ive said so many times, who's reading this? Im gonna go ahead and say less than ten people. Well to you...thank you for everything you've done, for me, for yourself, for the world....I love you and your extended family.

Dear Diary blah blah blah

Just got back from hanging with Jarred from Life:Aquatic at a FISHING gig down on Oxford St. Sick night. Fishing were incredible, a plethora of intricately built samples layered to create a frenzy of melodies and beats that hit all the right pleasure spots in your ear....simply amazing. Check 'em out here, where they got P4'kd. Those dudes are awesome...

Still in early stages of EP....in due time....for now, be still.

Also, in the afternoon, I was walking around the city and came upon a sweet ass walkaway I had never walked on before around Circular Quay....I keep discovering new things about this city. There were a bunch of tourists there too, and I started feeling like a tourist, or more like a traveler....and it felt good. Ive been here a little more than 5 months and Ive been feeling at home, ive grown accustomed to life here. But lately Ive been venturing and walking around the city and it's been really good. I feel alien, I feel like im in a another country.....and thats good. It's good once in a while to feel like you dont belong.

So here's to those who dont belong.....

With Eyes Like Those

I made this song a few weeks ago...never got the courage to putting it up. But I figured it was about time. I didn't like having the blog empty...I havent put up something new in a long time, and that kills my momentum..I guess thats just how I work, record whenever I feel like it...The new EP is still in its early stages, really trying to find a sound right now, I'm not satisfied yet! But for now, with eyes like those....AW CRAP, I just spelled my own name wrong on the cover, I wrote Guere, with one R instead of with two Rs!!! WOW, im an idiot. oh well....

Update...

I havent written here in too long. Blogs need to be maintained. So whats happened so far? Got a bandcamp page and I'm starting to work/gather inspiration for this upcoming EP. I want this EP to be really well designed, in artwork, lyrics and the overall style and mood. Im gonna spend a fair amount of time on this....tweaking, recording.....unlike with my other recordings where it was straight like first take is the only take....i wanna NOT do that this time...i really wanna refine my peices...I'm thinking this will be a 5 song EP, composed of samples and vox.....i made some cuts and they're all pretty drone-y and r&b...Im really tweaking the sounds this time and getting inspiration from everywhere.....wong kar wai films...sade, maxwell, sex therapy.....the dark style....hong kong ganstas....shanghai nightlife..

Well thats whats happening musically, as for.....my life. It's all going....pretty normal. And that doesnt feel good, nor does it feel bad. Im at a point where everything's really steady and I dont not care but I dont care...??!?!?! you know? While everyone's young and travelling and just having a good time...I'm here, being, feeling normal. Im on the otherside of the world but im not taking advantage of that. But then again, I feel like im doing alot. Im making music and getting my stuff on blogs, giging, making connections and meeting really awesome and nice people..recording.living on my own and doing school....and still. i dont know man. Again, as always and forever, I'm not making sense....!!!

Well, enough of my rambling. Thanks for reading and listening and loving. New EP in the works...watch out, it's gonna be stellar...hopefully.

Unthinkable (I'm Ready) - Alicia Keys cover

The first time I heard the entire Element of Freedom album I was amazed. I thought every song in there was perfect....the production was so unconventional yet really catchy, and this time, Miss Keys didn't restrain her creative abilities...this is for you.....

The cover was just for fun really, just givin respect and love to Alicia....
