The central idea ot this writing of mine (which initially moved me to do it) is the surpassing of the illusion in attributing elements which are solely mental, to the external environment. The sounds of which I speak in this writing, but also the colours, the tastes, the smells, the pains, and other concepts like big and small, tall and short, good and bad, complex and simple, warm and cold, and so on, are in my opinion present only mentally, some as sensations of which we have direct experience, and some others as concepts which are abstract, subjective and relative.
As conscious beings, we are in direct contact with our consciousness, where perceptions of different kinds "arise". Since our consciousness has the characteristic of displaying the sensorial perceptions in a three-dimensional space, it's perhaps for this reason that it seems -- illusionary -- obvious that what we perceive sensorially is outside of us exactly as it appears to us.
Probably it is not possible and neither necessary to avoid this illusion, not necessary because it anyway seems functional, but perhaps it's a good thing to be aware of it.
just love music....50% of the money will be given to jigsaw charity to help an inderpendent school for children with autism and other behavioural problems based in the u.k
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My earliest memories and passion for music developed as a very small boy, probably as young as the age of five, where I would sit for hours upon hours in my bedroom listening to casette tapes of 80's electro and old skool hip hop, listening to every beat, every sound and developing my style by trying to copy breakdance moves, and jumping off my parents sofa kamakazi style into a pile of cushions trying to imitate the moves of the 80's breakdance heros. From there, my passion for music and dance evolved. I had very little else in my life apart from music and dancing. My memories of childhood are not particularly happy ones. I was the eldest of then three children and we were certainly not privileged. I always remember my clothes and trainers being hand-me-downs, or from charity shops, which I resented my parents for, not realising at the time thats all they could afford. I was always bullied at school by cruelty because I didnt wear the latest Nike trainers! By the time I reached the age of seven my parents split and I found myself pushed from pillar to post, being used as a bargaining tool in their marriage breakup. I was far too young to understand the real reasons why this was all happening around me. I ended up living with my father being seperated from my mother for a very long time, and to ease the anger and hurt, my only happiness came from submursing myself into the world of music and dancing. I became quite a little legend at the school discos, throwing my moves on the dance floor! Over the next few years, and with the teen years just around the corner, life at home became increasingly more difficult and my sister and myself were put into a childrens home. Nobody wanted to take responsibility for us at the time I suppose. By the age of 14 years, I took off and took responsibility for myself, bringing myself up, living on the streets, and in and out of squats, hostels and the like. Raiding dustbins around the back of department stores for food and getting by was my survivial. I sometimes busked in Covent Garden, breakdancing for cash to buy food. It was from here that I joined Spiral Tribe and various other soundsystems, travelling around the UK and indeed Europe performing my dancing to vast crowds on the free party scene, taking in new sights and learning new cultures. I met all walks of life on my travels, and became wrapped up in many religions and cults along the way. But I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to do so. It taught me alot about life. At the age of 14, I was also diagnosed as 'Aspergers', which comes under the broad spectrum of autism. For those that know little about Aspergers, let me tell you, it is no fun to live with. Every day my head battles with simple thoughts and ideas, I live in a constant bubble sometimes unable to distinguish between reality and fictional, in my 'Aspergers' world, every thought and every feeling is a reality, its likes voices in my head telling me so. Although I am an incredibly bright and knowledgable individual, my 'condition' certainly does stop me from doing taks that everyday folk take for granted. A simple though in my head will take days and days to by analysed, psycho-analysed, processed and actioned........ it's getting better to live with as I am getting older! I developed a skill for DJing as a teenager too, soon realising that I was actually very good, and would often be given the warm up slots at many free parties. My restlessness and inability to settle for too long, saw me travelling the country for many years, living, dancing and DJing in virtually every city in the country, from the free party scene to fashionable clubs and bars. I eventually settled in Newcastle, where I spent over 6 years as quite an established DJ. In fact I was one of the pioneers who brought the sound of UK garage to the North East. I studied music technology at Newcastle Poly whilst there, just to add a technical qualification to my incredible knowledge of music and production. Having been back 'down south' now for over 5 years, I have an enldless list of DJ experience to add to my portfolio, from residencies at well established clubs and bars, hosting my own radio show on a local radio station, through to many many warehouse parties, including Acid Monkey, Nomads and Venom Psychedlic in London... to name but a few. I travelled to Dubai for a stint at the Royal Mirage Hotel, holding a residency at an exclusive members-only roof-top bar, educating people in my style of chill-out and worldly beats. Well that brings me up to 2006, where I have been concentrating solely on producing my own chill out music. My sound is unique, crossing over many boundaries, not just simple chill out style, but incorporating elelments of electro, hip hop, world and tibal sounds. belicve me people ive only scrached the surface...of my life and music there is so much more i will right a book one day....to tell u more thank u for taking the time out to read this.....lBUDDHA IS MY LIFE LIFE IS MY BUDDHA....THANK YOU....
