from a small boy my father played his guitar and singed songs from the gypsies to me. he plays with his troop in the bars still today. they all wear the big hats and wear the traditional clothing of my country. i used to collect the coins from the people there who enjoyed to listen to them as they have played.
because of my love too for the techno music i have recently started to try to make this too. ithink that i have music in my blood, and i am only satisfied when i have music in my life. when i understand the equipment i have better, i hope to make good techno too. not because i want to have free drugs and money or be a superstar, but just to be making the music that i like. i think that when you are a musician, if you are not making music, your soul will be crying. would be nice to pull the chicas though. i love them too :lol: make love/music/drugs not war
To get those voices OUT OF MY HEAD!
Its the only thing that makes me happy really. Being a sufferer of o.c.d and manic depression i find its the best therapy iv ever had, above all medical forms of therapy like cognitive behaviour therapy etc.
I love writing music and cant ever see myself stopping even if i wanted to.
Here is part of an email I recieved this morning....
"Anyway this morning for the first time I"m going through emails. Got to yours and have just listened to Greed 2. Now I"m listening to Greed. Man, Glen it's ****ing briliant. I love the sample which to me sounds like" "it's just a green frog", proabblly nothing like that, anyway it rocks. I love the roll of it, the driving bass sounds and how it attenuates up and down. It's totally drilling but retains the funk; plus most excitingly for me it's deep as buggery...."
That is why it is all worth it. This came from one of Australia's best Techno DJs.....
its an artform really....
true expression....
self expression.....
escapism....
what you make of it
nasty messy business like me :techno:
why not?
Only loosers listen to music...

I write music for other people, as well as myself. It's the best feeling knowing that you've done something that's praiseworthy, and if you deny yourself a pat on the back for a job well done then I think you're needlessly missing out.
Music isn't my whole life - I believe that's a lobsided way of living, but rather something that adds to who I am. I feel good when I've finnished writing a track, especially when I've had some real difficulties with it... Writing music is often times is frustrating and even demotivational, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy :)
This sums it up for me too, I got bored of making model aeroplanes :paranoid:Quote:
