Fully refurbished, this one. I must say that playing music is really very fun to do. With The Stoss, I am looking for a way to find a middle ground between Drones and hand-played pieces.
Fusion of myself into a musician requires learning to play keyboard. Not just in a lame way, with samples or something: the goal is to completely reinvent myself.
With the Stoss I am trying to find where Droning and Handplayed Electric Rhodes can blend. Its all about resonance. I am absosluttely /absolutely thrilled with these projects: it is a fantastic power to be able to play music. Most of the hard parts I have behind me now. It was a quite steep path, I must say.
And still a lot to learn, but with my brand of fanatism I think I can get somewhere really interesting within
one year. I will keep you all posted!
