There's this guy, a drummer in New York. He started stripping down his drum set until he ended up doing gigs with only a cymbal. But he could do a lot more with that cymbal than a lot of people can do with a whole drum set. I like that concept. My mom was saving money from when I was a kid just to give me some money when I was 18 years old.
People see musical notes being more to do with melody.
I saw that the melody had to function as the rhythmic portion as well as the musical portion. It became very easy for me to compensate for not having a drum machine. It's just interesting to fantasize. But I'm building up my arsenal of equipment, and then I'll start recording again. Your label Planet E Communications is going strong, but Retroactive, your first label, didn't last very long.
