Back to the updates for this week and it was interesting to discover the pattern that seems to emerging recently with the flow of the music when I don’t have a guest on. I’ve been debating how to manage the transition between all of the genres of music I enjoy. I have to admit to feeling comfortable when I play just one style when there’s a theme or I stick to a style a band or artist I’m featuring play. Of course it all boils down to the fear of other people’s perception and what they think of me and what I do. But what I’ve also noticed as I work through this fear is the reason I like all of the music I like and how many people like different styles of music. Within this is a wonderful flow that can occur transitioning between genres. I will still endeavour to cover particular themes on individual shows as I have done and discussed in the past, but it’s been interesting in the days leading up to Tuesday to see what songs I decide to play and how I flow between them. Tonight was a good example of that as I enjoyed the flow between rock, through ambient live percussion music into full on psychedelic trance. It looks like the title of the show has finally solidified into the structure of it! On the subject of working through my fear it was also nice to be able to share my recent experiences in what we’re discovering collectively. This was especially related to beating procrastination and moving forward with the lessons we’re receiving for the things we need to address internally, from the reflections received from the interactions and relationships we have in our day to day life.
On the music front it was great to share some last memories from the Boom festival where I played some audio from a wonderful collective based in Hungary called Freedom Café who played wonderful songs based around the hang drum which allowed me to meander via Cliff Martinez into some more psychedelic memories of Boom!
