"Be spacious, my friend..."

  The History Channel just recently aired a documentary called How Bruce Lee Changed the World. I was grabbed by this clip:

 

  So it is with Spaceplayer. My own musical exploration has been fluid in its own way, though maybe I'd use the word "nebulous," in keeping with the space theme. Space is a great metaphor, like water; it's open, spacious, allowing room for individual expression. People are like aliens to each other, until they learn to communicate. Each new interaction shapes us, for better or for worse. But I have found, personally, that in working with different genres, certain patterns and themes still emerge, of a personal nature, that unify all the different music I've created. Call it the eternal return, call it ego...the point is to call it out, to be. Not to be "open-minded," but "active minded." Not to submit, but to interact. To integrate, and prune away the inessential.

New Video: "Mecha"

 This is my second video, "Mecha," a song from my very first album, Lost Tales of the Space Cadet. It's set to a "fan film" of The Transformers that I created. I've always like the idea of having the listener create their own vision to go with the music, and this one's mine. The original image evoked in me by the radio signals was a boy on the roof with a transmitter signaling an alien invasion. But in the recurring storyline I developed for my albums, the Space Cadet, in the search for the "universal," approaches a mechanical planetoid called Mecha, where all emotion has been purged, leaving a robotic race of rationality. This version, though, is a guilty pleasure. I wanted to do the soundtrack for the live-action Transformers movie, but for some reason (like, never having contacted them), they never called me. Go figure. Anyway, I was adult about it ("don't worry about me, I'll survive...somehow....), but this is for the kid in those who prefer the frosted side of Shredded Wheat. Enjoy.
