Hiya all,
been a long time.
what can i say...England, London and ENO have been good to me. i'm trying to stay longer. music's been somewhat neglected this past year, but things are coming around.

i put together one song, written and recorded in a night...would you believe it! but i'm not quite ready to let it out yet. things will settle in time.

a few others are close. hang in there. i've been keeping busy recording and playing guitars and sounds with Tina Mali...

we played in shoreditch last night with Ignug (Ill'ectronic Funk) check that out! And Bitter Ruin and Delooze are making great sounds around Brighton and London right now...so maybe that can suffice until i get my sounds on the road.

and keep your eyes peeled for Paul Smith's Japan collection this spring...really.

Erik, laters.

I'm feeling worn out.
My head is ablaze. And my body is tightening.
I have more on my plate than i know
And i know it's a big plate.

NOT_digital will continue on in London and i hope to have Stephen, Bradford and Kate over at some point to further the live show we've developed. It's not over.

I will always appreciate this small city for the experience it has granted me, the few close friends and the efforts of many who make it a great place to be. Although the NOT_digital project started as a solo effort, it would really have gotten nowhere without Stephen's ear, his vision, his enthusiasm, his deadline and that damn keyboard.

And i can quite get used to conservative portions at mealtime. Small cars and left hand drive. Cafe Americano.
I am not enamoured with the various English accents and will fight to keep my own, but not out of spite.
I will love walking down the ancient narrow streets wherein the latest technology glows. And i can criticize the new technology there as easily as i do here.

All romanticism aside; a new chapter, a new challenge, a new dialogue with the world. This is why i'll take my leave, however brief it may turn out to be.


Sincerely, Erik.

Current mood:Boom
Category: Parties and Nightlife

hi all...

we played a show last night at a dance club the Boom Boom Room in Windsor...

Best   Gig   Ever...

we're used to playing pubs; this was a totally new, different crowd, Boom Boom regulars...even the NCRC folks whose socks we intended to knock off were enjoying some other night life...

the system is incredible there...finally we were able to hear our material full frequency...and we could hear the monitors...there was good energy...and people dancing for once...and oh my god: the subs...

thanks, CJAM (http://web2.uwindsor.ca/cjam/index.html) for the gig...and thanks to C-Bass for the extensive sound check...

and thanks to Vex and Furs for a great warm up...Kero had a great set, too...he did this one tempo drop into a reggae kinda beat...heart warming...

and of course, Mike Huckaby and Osborne were on it all night...

it was a RIOT...

later.

So...

Finally some live recordings of NOT_digital...

Since when we play live it sounds so different from the CD...I really have wanted to post live versions of what we do...

Adam Michalczuk of Sturgeon Studio in Windsor did sound that night at the Avalon Front and recorded us and Nash the Slash...it was Sept 27 07...the one unfortunate thing is it's only Steve and I, the full 4 piece realisation is yet to be captured...

Thanks to those clapping at the end of the songs...

Enjoy...

Erik, thanks.
