I enjoy art. I enjoy creating. I enjoy creating art to give to my friends. The pieces above reside in the studio of my best friend Ant Aggs (Afro Dizzi Act/Resin Dogs/Gonzalez 3). I made the pieces when we lived together with Grover & Lua at the Teague Street Club House. I used to stay up at night writing and would listen to Ant’s beat making drift through the walls. The two pieces reflect our mutual love of music and creation–of building something.
They’re falling apart now… they’ve been well loved. Time to make something new methinks.
This track is called Fly Away. Ant made the beat, I wrote the words/melody. We both sing. We have an albums worth of ambient electronica… hopefully one day we’ll get to share it.
A few years back I worked on a musical project with pal Reichelt. It started simply, he and I in a studio bouncing ideas back and forth on acoustic guitars, clear bodied electrics and acapella vocal melodies; a bunch of ideas scrawled in my notebook, too many coffees and snacks from the candy machine. We rehearsed sporadically and recorded a bunch–with the addition of Jeff Paton, drums-Scott Reid, guitars-Ant Aggs, keys–we ended up with an EPs worth of stuff, plus demos for an album. The above song is called ‘To Be Or Not To Be’. I dearly hope one day we’ll finish the album… the project/band is called Los Angels.
