hey guys im back from another day. after camp was dinner with the cousins, where we had nydc and dessert at magdalene's pastry. pictures would be uploaded tmr alright, but one things for sure im super duper full. =/
anyhow, i shall introduce all you guys to an interesting post-rock band called sigur ros, of which i base many of my delay and echo effects on. these guys are from iceland. cool stuff really. trying to emulate them now, so look out for my future recordings!
taken off their album i got, takk.. (thanks)
the lead guitarist plays his guitar with a bow from a cello lah. how cooool can that be.
atmospheric and very clever music that can draw out any emotion. you can close your eyes and feel the surreal nature of it all. excellent for those rainy days, after an emotionally charged encounter, when your in need of inspiration for song writing/poetry, and of cause when you just feel lonely or depressed.
and...
quote from a webbie
" what language does jónsi sing in? on von, ágætis byrjun and takk (their albums) , jónsi (lead singer) sang most songs in icelandic but a few of the songs were sung in 'hopelandic'. all of the vocals are however in hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska in icelandic) is the 'invented language' in which jónsi sings before lyrics are written to the vocals. it's of course not an actual language by definition (no vocabulary, grammar, etc.), it's rather a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music and acts as another instrument. jónsi likens it with what singers sometimes do when they've decided on the melody but haven't written the lyrics yet. many languages were considered to be used on , including english, but they decided on hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska) got its name from first song which jónsi sang it on, hope (von). tracks 7-9 on takk are in hopelandic. "
good stuff. here my favourite track. heartstopping really.
let it load completely and listen to it in full. breaks inbetween would prolly kill the mood it invokes. enjoy the dreamy icelandic sounds! (:
on another note, i guess its tough but im willing to give it a go. the hardest part is however whether there would even be a chance to try ?
a willingness to accept me as who i am and for what my intentions represent. its been awhile since i had such feelings. well till the nxt post, good night.
