Tuning in

We are all antennae for creative thought. Some transmissions come on strong, others are more faint. If your antenna isn't sensitively tuned, you're likely to lose the data in the noise.

... 

Most of the time, we are gathering data from the world through the five senses. With the information that's being transmitted on higher frequencies, we are channeling energetic material that can't be physically grasped.

...

How do we pick up on a signal that can neither be heard nor be defined? The answer is not to look for it. Nor do we attempt to predict or analyze our way into it. Instead, we create an open space that allows it. A space so free of the normal overpacked condition of our minds that it functions as a vacuum.

p.8

Looking back, that there was no social media between 1993-1996 was both a blessing and a curse, as that is when I was the lead singer / co-conspirator in a couple of bands.

The FUSE

A four-piece rock outfit with funk undertones, with Romesh W. on guitar, Wendel L. on drums, Mark G. on bass and me on vocals. After rocking pubs mainly in Adelaide and Melbourne, we relased an album of mainly oringal songs named Catalytic Influence.

FRET

Romesh and I got great experience performing live two or three nights a week in pubs, clubs, hotels, and even played a wedding or two, mainly covers of classic rock and pop songs, on accoustic guitars with some percussion and saxophone added occasionally.
