In The Ether & God This Is Annoying!

Hi,

For those of you who haven't heard the new Pete Townshend song, 'In The Ether' which is from his latest project The Boy Who Heard Music...I suggest that you do. Its on Who TV, at his website www.petetownshend.com .

I've been listening to his performance of it at the Royal Albert Hall today. God, this guy is good! The song is about growing old, and then reaching the point when you drop your physical form. Or so I figure it is...that's my interpretation. It took me a couple of listens to get into it, but once I did that, I was hooked.

I'm annoyed. I wrote a big post here yesterday, and then the fucking thing cocked up and I lost it. Bollocks!

Shit.

In brief though, I'm moving to Camden/Kentish Town area next week. This is good.

I still need a proper full time job. This is bad. Back off to London on the morrow, I'm flat-out at the moment. Still awaiting a call for a really great job that I had an interview for. I've got everything crossed that it all works out.

Spoke to Rafael our keyboard player on Friday night when I stayed with him. The new studio is up and running in a few weeks. I bounced my new idea for a musical concept off him (I blogged about this a couple of weeks ago).

The positive here is that Rafael does understand it. He does like the principle behind it, and he does want to help me develop the music for it. This is good news...particularly as he's a top class musician, with more classic training than I've had hot dinners. We've got an idea for staging a big event around it. Rafa is keen to involve visuals with his music, and this is an idea that I've been keen on for a long time. I spent time with some of the pioneers in this area from the arts world such as the Boyle Family and Gustav Metzger when researching my thesis, and so I've got good roots in terms of how this kind of thing developed.

I'll blog more soon.

Take care of yourselves!!!

Tom.
