Opus Flume
Techno / Ambient / Psychedelic Caen |
Billboard
I've been around since 1947 & ran away with the rock 'n roll circus when I was 17. Played piano in 4 bands, plus 2 in the late '60s / early '70s, when we all went psychedelic thanks to Tim, Ram Dass & Ralph. Got into meditation & hung out in Sri-Lanka playing the monk for a while. Returned to England & formed a trio that played strange versions of old songs from the '30s & '40s. Moved to France where I played in yet another rock band, but the vibe wasn't there so I joined a travelling theatre group. That fell apart & I got into classical music, which I taught & played until I got bored with it. Made a few - 8 - short video movies, one of which was a 9 min clip for "psycho rave", my first excursion into techno, in '93. I'll get it digitalified (that's a good word) & put it on Virb° asap. Bought a good ol' groovebox & then an XP 80 I still use. I don't use a computer for music - though many say I should - hence my trashy sound & habit of saying "that's enough of that" , but I'm funny that way I guess, & though some of my stuff embarrasses me, I can live with it. Well, I mean I'm not trying to do "business as usual" you see.
Anyways... along the road I've been married & divorced twice, & have 2 daughters & 2 sons who are all over 20 now. My south African girlfriend (I hear you, white girl !) is beautiful & I luv her madly.
As for the planet, whew ! What a mess. . . (Virb° excepted !). . . , & I'm convinced that the only way out, the only polite way to kiss matter goodbye, is through symbiotic relationships with the naturally occuring plant hallucinogens.
You won't see me playing anyware these days. I've had more than a good bash at it.
May you all be happy !

Hi and thanks for adding me. I like your music too. I can very much appreciate the part of your profile that says "You won't see me playing anyware these days. I've had more than a good bash at it." - After playing in front of people for 15 years or so myself, I've had enough. Time to stay in the studio for a while! Take care, and keep making music.

Hello Thanks for the kind words they're very much appreciated! What we've heard of your stuff we like very much and will be back for a further listen, its very much up our street. Shameless plug but there is a solo effort from Checkendon of Ding Ding Chavez (produced by Ramrod X) who has a forthcoming E.P out on Vorbic.com soon. Anyway , stay in touch my man. Seriously good tunes! Ding Ding

Dear friend! The highest thanks I give for your kind works. Your music is wonderfully imaginative and evocative. Mound of Venus is prob my favourite of the lot, but they are all wonderful. Plus, anyone who spends time in Sri Lanka 'playing the monk', gets my vote! Virb definitely needs more people like you. Keep the music coming and your spirit soaring! Peace!
