"The essential aims of life are present naturally in every person. In everyone there is some longing for humanity's rightful dignity, for moral integrity, for free expression of being and a sense of transcendence over the world of existence. Yet, at the same time, each person is capable, to a greater or lesser degree, of coming to terms with living within the lie. Each person somehow succumbs to a profane trivialization of his or her inherent humanity, and to utilitarianism. In everyone there is some willingness to merge with the anonymous crowd and to flow comfortably along with it down the river of pseudo-life. This is much more than a simple conflict between two identities. It is something far worse: it is a challenge to the very notion of identity itself."
- Vaclav Havel, "The Power of the Powerless"
Hi,
I’m hoping to find the lady responsible for the ALIFORM tracks on myspace… I’m not sure if this is the right person or not… (I would send a message through there, but alas the idea of grade school friends reaching me has prevented this from ever happening)…
Anyway, I found the songs by typing something like: chicago classical piano myspace; with little-to-no intentions of anything other than finding something local to listen to…
I’m impressed, unexpectedly so. I’ve been keeping a distant ear for potential collaborators for an electronic music project the last while (without wanting to rely on the pool of rock duders of Craig’s List or the gearheads on Chicago house music forums)…
I won’t go into details (seeing how this might not even be the right person) but if this seems like something that would be of interest to you, I can be reached at mthomasdavies@yahoo.com… I guess for a better understanding of where I’m coming from musically, I would suggest checking out POLMO POLPO from Toronto (where I’m originally from).
I’m in Chicago, also..
I am not an internet predator. Kind of fucked up and weird, sure…
If you are not this person, feel free to curse my name to the heavens. Thanks.
