Current playlist
So, what are you listening to these days? My tastes vary but are definitely not mainstream. I never listen to commercial radio for example. I hate all the manic chatter on most of the stations, whatever about the music they play. Some internet radio stations are great but mostly I listen to music that I have recently downloaded from either iTunes or Emusic. I always pay properly for any downloaded music because as a musician, I believe that artists should get paid properly for their work. That seems only fair to me. It’s hard to resist the low cost or free sites but being an independent musician myself definitely helps.
Currently I am listening to the likes of: The Yellowjackets, Todd Rundgren, Trifonic, Felix Laband, Steve Roach, Josef Zawinul, Tortoise and a host of others. I came across a brilliant video that was set to a piece by the electronic artist Trifonic. It is really amazing so here is a link to it.

This is a very powerful piece of work. I hope to do someting like this one of these days, a collaboration with a video artist.
If you do get a chance to check this video out, leave a comment with your impressions.
