More Music: Neurosis, The James Cleaver Quintet

The music some bands/artists create is beyond inspiring and can have dramatic effects upon my work, changing the mood, rythms, textures and colours.
so heres something incredably brilliant:



"Are you lost?"
"Yes."
"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."
"Are you lost?"



I'd also like to preach to anyone and everyone about these guys, The James Cleaver Quintet with their absalutly crazy blend of enchantingly chatchy, bouncing mellodies, with a funk edge, spinning into sudden erratic, crazed punk madness! theyre fabulous live and great people, truely deserving of much, especialy a trial on your ears!

"Looking Through You"





I have taken photos of strangers at random (with their permission) to create a collaged society, showing exterior influences through a mixed medium image, to show how a society stares as a fickle unit of inconsistencies.          

Comprising of all, united by none, judgemental of you.


 This was displayed at the 'Project 106' building in weymouth from the 20th to the 21st

Rolo Tomassi

Rolo Tomassi are an incredable musical spectical and really quite something live too, blending Jazz, Rock, Punk and Hardcore with strange synths and a mixture of  angelicaly smooth and beyond raw vocals through some amazing song writting. Rolo Tomassi are one of the bands that really inspire me within my own music and art, and motivate me whether im working, drawing or painting!

                                                        PLEASE LISTEN TO THESE!!!


Rolo Tomassi - Everything Went Grey



Rolo Tomassi - C Is For Calculus




Rolo Tomassi - Cosmology



Rolo Tomassi - Fofteen




Rolo Tomassi - Nine



Rolo Tomassi - Nine Acoustic



                                                               Thanks for your time :)
