I got woke up at 9am today to go help pick up a wood lathe my mum bought for my dad, my cousin Shirley was holding it until we got there because they were selling out as fast as they’d get in. Matt came over today and we worked on music. We did our jamming-session together thing like we’ve been doing for a while to come up with music ideas. I know we’d do a lot better if we had more time to see musical ideas come together in their entirety.

Today I asked Corby, the other original member of the Underground Bass Masters if he was interested in starting up UBM again, although with no deadlines or anything, a project we can take our time on if we need to. But if he has the passion and the drive to want to do it and to come through with it and to also start working on stuff independently from me at home as well, then I think we could do it. But I’m not sure if I could see it through as a project on my own.. He seems interested, but he’s going to think about it and give me an answer..

And UBM would be Bass Music… for the bass heads! I can’t deny the fact that I still get big time chills listening to a few of the bass albums that inspired me to do this in the first place. lol. I know there’s more to be done with the genre that I’d like to see come through.

My whole thing about music was about pulling and spreading the genre into new perspectives, or every genre of music I encountered afterwards for that matter.. To become as eclectic as I could..

Once you’ve seen things from a lot of different angles and perspectives, suddenly the thing you look back on is seen in a much clearer view or picture.. Suddenly you understand the point of something a lot more, when I say we’re going to, “make a bass album”. I have a pretty clear picture of what I mean by that. Suddenly that limiting factor becomes art in itself, of simplicity and understanding. I have so many nostalgic emotions that come along with my inspirations and all the aspirations I originally had about creating music in the first place come back to life. It’s something very powerful… when I think about it.

It was really kule talking to Mandy on the phone tonight, it seems like we talked about a ton of shit, until she finally passed out on the phone and I couldn’t revive her. HEHE
