Nathan FosterRe: Flavourate MusicLike you Warwick, my music taste is different. I grew up with Western singers such as Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Patsy Rigger. Then came the modern traditional favorites such as Bowie, Collins, Icehouse and other popular artists of my time and location who I still listen to from time to time. But I also have also been influenced by other styles.I worked bar and club security for many years including managing my own teams. After the first years, rock music began to grind on me. Hip hop was easier on the ears but I found the lyrics annoying. The DJ's we worked with were interesting in that they would trial a lot of experimental electronic alternative music but only before or after hours which most us became interested in. I have tried to keep up with all of the latest ever since. The club music I was exposed to was very wide ranging. When I started, the big names were Snap, C&C Music factory, Heavy D and the boyz, Criss Cross and the likes thereof. My goodness that was a long time ago. House music arrived soon after, psy trance, dub, bass gained some traction but many clubs stayed very much with "lets replay what you heard in the car this morning but louder". I was exposed to a great deal of reggae and ragga in Peckham and then Cyber goth (today the likes of Eisenfunk) in Camden. Camden was fun. A lot of electronic music never really made mainstream, even the likes of LeftField and Obital, you had to look for it. Jam and Spoon remained experimental, much the same for the Future sound of London and The Orb. BT was another. Van Dyke, Tiesto and others were at the center of the scene for some time. The movie The Matrix exposed some folk to alternative dance. Psy and goa trance remained on the outer, yet is in its own way, revisiting classical styles. There are now very large dance festivals such as Boom and Ozora where people come together to dance and celebrate life in a very peaceful manner, away from the usual drink till you drop scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxbnlpX9U0Y Starts with a didgeridoo and an Aborigine saying," I was born under 5 billion stars, I don't need to sleep in a fancy 5 star hotel. I was born with no shoes and I guess the average man was born with no shoes. So I suppose, I am the first, and the last". I think this is Steph's favorite electronic tune of all time. As for the days, I worked in engineering for many years. My specialty was shaping the steel, grinding, polishing, a lot of artistic work but extremely labor intensive. The grinders make a whining noise, every day, all day. The noise is loud, even with grade 5 plugs under grade 5 muffs. The fabbies liked rock music but this added to the whining, it can really cut at your core, a whining voice and guitar over a grinder. I could listen to rock when working machine shop or on a fab job, but not when polishing. I found that music had to have a beat to keep me going when expending so much energy. This made me me think of African slaves and the progression of African American music. But I still preferred more alternative (psy) music. There were other basic lessons when polishing, such as power drinks don't give you energy when you are working this hard, they rob you of energy. Protein and some fast carbs and plenty of water is about all that helps. Eating first thing in the morning would make most of us ill. Your food and drink choice would affect you on an hour by hour basis, most noticeable on really heavy jobs. Over the years I was also researching ballistics and rifles which of course eventually became my full time occupation. I completely disconnected from any mainstream music at this point. When I wrote the book series, I liked to have music playing quietly but any lyrics would put me off. So I started listening to psy chill. Much of this is as basic and possibly boring as the background music to TV cop drama or sci-fi movie but it gives me the space to write in 'the zone'. One could laugh at this really, man studying ballistics listens to CSI TV series type music.... Artists or compilations I listen to when writing include Suduaya, Monk on Acid and Carbon Based Life forms and Carbon Based Wave Forms. As I type this, I am listening to Noraus - Type 1 Civilization. All of these are the evolution of very old electronic artists such as Jean Michel Jarre who was a pioneer in the field during the 1970's-80's. This is very much down tempo music which I would not expect others to like. It simply suits when writing for many hours at a time. I also listen to some M-Eject and Reactor Room but this can become repetitive and create a block when writing. I listen to a very wide range, a lot of world music including Live at Goa. I'll listen to Tibetan horns, throat singing or bowls, Navajo drumming, or whatever is going. If I want something completely different, I'll find it. I think that today, people are too mindless with what they listen too. Music has such a major impact on our moods and there is such a wide range to choose from on youtube. You don't have to just like rock or just like this that or the other. Psy and other electronic music is now, for example, so carefully produced that you will often see how many hertz the music is rated at, so that the user can choose suitable frequencies. Main stream completely overlooks any use of frequencies / harmonics. It also overlooks culture and fails to celebrate the many peoples, histories and styles that make up this world. Music can remind us of something great from the past and evoke wonderful feelings, but it can also trap us. So I think that this very powerful tool should be kept fresh via exposure to new music / culture / ideas / frequencies where possible, working with what suits our individual needs. |

Warwick MarflittRe: Flavourate MusicNathan, your knowledge and expression on the many different subjects is enlightening. I have come to respect and value your knowledge and wisdom. Your passion for life and sharing learning is a wonderful talent. Thanks for sharing with us all to see learn and grow. The world is richer from the gifts that folk like you and Stephen provide. My lovely girlfriend text me early in our meetingYour Vibe Attracts Your Tribe.” I’ve always loved that little phrase: “Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe.” But what does it mean? Who is your tribe and how can you find them? Your vibe attracts your tribe. This little saying has stayed with me throughout my life and I believe it to be 100% true! The only way to attract “your people” is to be yourself. If you are pretending to be someone that you’re not, you’re going to attract a tribe that has nothing in common with the real you. So how do you find your people? It’s easier than you might think, and I’m gonna walk you through it! :) I can’t even begin to tell you how important it is to find your tribe. Your tribe members are the people that will just ‘get’ you. They will share in your interests, they will cheer you on when you succeed, and commiserate with you in your failures. Your tribe will accept you for who you are. They will be your support system, your cheering squad, and will provide you with a sense of community that you will be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. Nathan. Thanks for your time and effort to make accurate shooting possible for the everyday person. Cheers mate |

Nathan FosterRe: Flavourate MusicPaul, picture an ocean of grey hair (or balding heads) still in the underground scene, trancing out to Orbital at Glastonbury. Everybody popping rheumatism pills and other hard stuff like Glucosamine or Vitamin C. Age is certainly irrelevant to the expression of joy.So true Warwick, your vibe attracts your tribe. Like attracts like. The saying opposites attract seems a contradiction to this, but there is always some core value or values which bring two people together, even though they appear polarized in expression. So I guess the answer to your question might be- you find them by finding your own core values. I don't really know why I become immersed in subjects to such a level Warwick. I am not like this with anything and everything that interests me. Just some things. Once I get started, all theory has to be tested. I do worry that I will become the guy that turns up at the range and annoys the hell out of Paul. I think this is why I keep pressure testing everything. For me, it always comes back to - Am I really helping or am I simply justifying my own point of view. If I am just pushing my own barrow, then I am not really helping. I really want Riley to become immersed in life. But I don't want her to 'know all about" any particular subject based on a lecture, I want her to live what she is involved in. |

Paul LevermanRe: Flavourate MusicHighly unlikely that you would ever be "that guy" for a number of reasons. Off the top of my shiny waxed head: you ask too many questions; you are not satisfied with the status quo; you do not suffer fools gladly. |

Warwick MarflittRe: Flavourate MusicThanks Paul. You can hear them(Tubular bells) in Pink Floyds song "Bain Damage" on their 1973 album "Dark Side of the moon". They sound like church bells off in the distanceThe time has come, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say.............. Far away across the field. The tolling of the iron bell. Calls the faithful to their knees. To hear the softly spoken magic spells..........from the end of the song "time".. The funny part is that the anti spam code for this post is "tym" |

Paul LevermanRe: Flavourate MusicKnow that album all too well, Warwick. I have replaced the vinyl twice, and on my third cd.I never realised that Mike Oldfield was singlehandedly responsible for the success of Virgin Records. I bought the first copy of the album from the record/stereo store in Kitimat, BC before it hit the shelf. It helps to have inside information and access. Took it home and played in on a Sansui turntable powered by 105 watts RMS from a Pioneer SX1010 through four JBL floor mounted speakers. The cops showed up. |
