Personal Pronoun: He/Him

==============================

Candle is something that needs to be experiænced.

The music of Candle has been described as Progressive, Psychadelic, Space Rock, & even Experimental. But what Darby, the artist behind the sounds, is really trying to achieve is a connection with every listener. To make those who choose to listen to his music feel something deep within themselves. Something they might not have ever felt before. Or maybe some memory they cherish deeply. The frequencies & moods created with a single guitar are layered in order to paint vistas which hopefully will let the sensations & imaginations of the listeners rejoice in the experiænce and become an interactive part of the music itself.

So close your eyes, take a deep breath & relax. Let the music touch your soul.

2023:

Seems my Muse has an idea she wants to run with this year. She hollered at me last night (Jan 24th) with the phrase: Confronting The Shadows. So I guess I'm back to a Concept Album. Should be fun. It's been quite a few years since I've planned to do a Concept Album during FAWM. So stay tuned…

Also, there's gonna be at least one #slothcore tune for sure, if not a couple.

SRF (Slothcore Republic Forever)

See You In The Shadows…

p.s. For more information about Confronting The Shadows, check out a little write-up I just did on the concept (PDF format):

I bet you will appreciate Low. ;)

Edit: Low invented the “slowcore” genre, which is a whole conversation in itself, but when I say they’ve evolved, it’s pretty extreme from the first to the last rekkid. I’d definitely check out Lullaby from the first album, anything from Things We Lost In the Fire, That’s How You Sing Amazing Grace from Trust, Monkey and When I Go Deaf from The Great Destroyer, and the entire album of Double Negative to give you a much annotated crash course in how their sound has evolved. (Many albums between those last two I’m not as familiar with at the moment, and FWIW, That last step’s a doozy).

Merci beaucoup! <3
So it's a sun that doesn't want to rise XD. I don't dislike the idea, haha.
Actually, it's rather easy for me to sing lead vocals; what is painful is layering a vocal pattern 40 times (or more), especially when it's in a high pitch.
So, lead is easy, choirs are tough. But I struggle with lyrics, so I often go for choirs. Cognitive dissonance? 😀
Mixing my voice so as to make it "clear" to other ears than mine is another story lol.

@caterwauler 8w

Haha, yes, I thought of you when the song started to shape itself like a shadow/light soundscape. I thought I was going for some ode to darkness, then found myself in outer space, and suddenly ended up contemplating an eclipse - a theme I had never rendered into sound, can you believe it?
I hope your days will get less turbulent (and if not, I trust you to turn the turbulence into music).
Thank you very much for your lovely feedback!

The Pokemon craze is impressive, I mean kids today still love it, but ya I've never been into anything, the show, the games, no thanks.

I should give the show another chance then. I know I like the black haired girl in that. One show that used fan service perfectly was Keijo. It was bananas, off the wall insane and that's why I love it. The show exists in it's own world where everything the characters do is normal and taken seriously, which adds to the comedy. I don't want to say the series is misunderstood by some people, because it's really simple, but it's passed off for being trashy while meanwhile it's actually a funny and enjoyable series.

I'll forever step up to the plate for Keijo and Bakuon, two secretly hilarious unique shows that never get any love for the way their perceived.

I was a bit too young for Gundam Wing when it aired over here (4 years old) and I wasn't into Anime at all to watch Seed on TV in 2004 but Gundam was always present. So to finally watch it was amazing. Seed recaptured everything I loved about Anime, it felt like I was watching my first series all over again. It gave me all the same feelings and the ending of the first season is so memorable. I also loved the soap opera teen drama.

Looking back it's strange how much I hated Anime as a kid. I knew what it was and I refused to watch Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, DBZ and all that. I only watched Sonic X because to me it was just a Sonic cartoon not an Anime. I don't know where my hatred of Anime came from when I was so young, but it went away when I watch Gurren Lagann at age 12, still my number 1 favorite series.

I always thought Highschool DxD was too stupid. I'm not opposed to Ecchi, if the show itself is good and it's thrown in as extra flavor then it's fine. But I didn't enjoy the first three episodes. 6-7 years ago there was an Anime con here where one of the dub voice actors showed up and for his panel we watched a few episodes of season 3 together. It was hilarious, not only watching it with everyone but also the dub itself which seemed to be making fun of the show. I still need to go back and give it a second chance.

@caterwauler 8w

Awesome, we managed to meet in Slack. Hopefully we'll talk more later.
Just wanted to reply regarding my muse and @sirius:
The muse has been away for quite a while, and I'm starting to worry a little about that: I've never had such a long pause in my musician life before (I haven't touched my instruments for one year, and by then I only made a couple of songs. Basically, I haven't been able to get back to music since 50/90 2020). :/
@sirius is fine, despite needing eyedrops several times a day. He spends a lot of time outdoors, playing and hunting. I hope he didn't forget how to make catcore stuff.
I'm happy we're in touch again. Talk to you soon. <3

@kanttilamusic 8w

Oh right on!

and here I was thinking "maybe I've seen enough of the high school shows" at 26 haha. Good shows are good shows regardless. I only ever watched the first episode of those series, I remember Masamune having a wild set-up. I might of recommended this before, it's not a Rom-Com but just a normal high school comedy, D-Frag. It's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I noticed it's on Crunchyroll as well.

I haven't watched anything lately, the only Anime I started last year was Initial D, which was super good but I haven't been on it with shows, movies, nothing like that in the last year. I've been trying to find something to get me back into Anime. I need another nuke drop moment like when I watched Gundam 3 years ago and it got me right back into watching Anime like I was 16-17 again.
