For those of you still following my ambient/downtempo project, I thought you might be interested in a fusion house music project, 'Owen Alek'. I want to pull from decades worth of experience working with the many incarnations of Xesy, as well as ambient music and found sounds / recordings in general.
While I have the mic, for those that do not know me in real life, I have just recently moved back into the same city from where I was able to write and record "Alone in a House for Months". I do not intend on being alone for such long, silent stretches this time, but I do hope to tap into the spirit of that adventurous time in my life, now that I've managed to survive it, and somehow scrape by for another 10 years after.
Here's to checking back in to see ourselves today in 10 years. I wonder if in the future house will still be called future house. Hmm...
It's wonderful to let the idea of 10 years wash over me like I'm being water boarded. As in, how much that time meant to me and how daunting it was back then to contemplate it's passing. I'm completely unable to comprehend what the future is like in 2, 3, or 5 years, let alone doubling it. And now, looking back on that ten, I can barely remember what I could have done to fill the void. I know that I've loved and I've lost, gotten nostalgic about that love, watched myself become generically sentimental after that, and now.. That relationship which consumed five years is no more real to me than a book written and read to me by Stephen Segal, doing a reimagining of what he thought my experience might have been like, in fact, that would probably be what felt real if we compared both recollections side by side.
Well, that's too long. No one is ever gonna read this. Haha.
