Count 52: Week 35

Post edit multi-exposure.
Multiple Exposure is one of my favorite edits. Spanning multiple time rests at once. Seeing thoughts, ideas, movements evolve over time.
Credit due : Multi-expo on music instruments (as done here) learnt from Umes Dai’s photography (aka Guruba).
Exam = less desire to study, more to take pictures. Moving up in the week’s count.
OM @ Il motore
“Om is a duo formed in 2003 by the rhythm section of the disbanded Stoner doom metal band Sleep. The band’s first three albums feature Al Cisneros on vocals and bass and Chris Hakius on drums. Their music is similar in structure to Tibetan and Byzantine chant.” -Wikipedia
On Monday, November 19th 2012, OM played a show at Il Motore, Montreal. They were joined by Montrealois pseudo-psychedelic band Maica Mia and folk singer Daniel Higgs.
I have been listening to a lot of OM in the past few months and was already in love with them. But when the chords were struck and the amp next to me rang of that sweet drone of bass, I was thrown back, literally. Bassist Al Cisneros had absolute control of his bass, burying us deep in the dunes of heavy, doomish waves. Drummer Amos was also good, but Keyboardist Robert Lowe just surprised me with his performance. Props to Al for taking something so vital to the sound of Sleep and making such grand albums from it. Several times, their music reminds me of my time in Sikkim, near Monastries, where death would ring in day wide drones of long hypnotizing horn, that many even find unsettling.
Maica Mia: Good post-rock/ almost drone rock. Could do with some variety in drumming. Female vocalist has a good smile and a great voice.
Daniel Higgs: Folk singer with world music touch. Liked his performance in a different light. I highly doubt if he practised or played any song whose end he was sure about. I think he pulled a “Higgs Boson” joke, although couldn’t be sure whether he was making a religion joke.
Count 52: Week 32
Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe – a musician currently part of the lineup of Om, a brilliant Stoner/Doom/Pre-Sludge band (More details in next post).
I found this guy quite talented. Constantly moving, constantly aligning himself in the rhythm. So much energy necessary, every day on tour. Talked with him later and he seemed a nice guy. He also had great vocals and a good balance with Al Cisneros, the bassist.
Yes, It’s way past Week 32. But by hell, I will have 52 pics here even if that means i will be putting one pic each day from the 20th to the 30th, i.e. each day of vacation for me.
Count 52: Week 18
We live, make wrongs, learn and believe
try to live again, but burn and we leave.
I thought this was week 18, but apparently I’m a week behind. Having a vacation at home = lots of food, less photos. Will update within the week.
Count 52: Week 15
I did a weekly show on the college radio this last semester. My actual audience was probably zero, but the experience was still fun.
Deconstructing
Since I walked to LCBO and coincidentally did bad on Calculus Exam. The perplexities of life.
Or try listening to Isis.
Count 52: Week 1
Yes, 52 weeks, 52 pictures. To be tried.
Although this is already Week 2, I will make up the lost week by another post within the week or end.

Musical relief after a long time.
Silent rush of light
Shapes align themselves into harmony. We image them elsewise.
Culinary metaphor
Both Internet and Ideas grow into a rare delight at times.
Latter shore
In opposite realms, both existent.
Thorn-bush and cherry blossoms.
Animal instincts
“Je suis un homme formidable” I read today.
Happy Birthday to the giants . Mues bro, kicking arse!
not all is right
More often I remember, I am in the wrong side of the world.
