Brief thought of the night

A brief thought of the night, where my sight has laid just before going to sleep : The journey is really about seeking the peace within the chaos.
Back from my month in Australia i feel like leaving for new trips again. Still recharging from the tiredness of heat/intense rhithm and jetlg!

Holiday in Australia, first 2weeks

So little time and so much running around, backpacking with huge bags, playing guitar on the beach, avoiding blue bottles jellyfishes, meeting locals, checking kangoroos, admiring surfers, complaining on the high price of alcohol and cigarettes...BUSY BUSY BUSY! But i think i could live in Australia,
this experience is making me so happy and enriching me...here are some pics of the last 2weeks!

 Me feeding Kangaroos in a Farm near Newcastle, in New South Wales

Spent Sunday in the famous Bondi Beach, lots of surfers..weather was weird: rainy,sunny and then a wonderful rainbow appeared!

I'll come back soon with more stories of my adventures and more pictures

Countdown minus 10

So the countdown has started and in 10 days I will fly to Australia, a trip I have been wanting to do for more than 10 years....oh yes! I can't wait to see everything, trying all the exotic food, hearing the Aussie accents, having breakfast with vegemite on toast, hearing good rock music on the radio ( because Silverchair is one of my favourite bands)and tanning smelling the ocean!
So much to do, i booked one month but i may extend it depending on how good i feel there :-)
My trip will start with Sydney, then I'll go North towards Nimbin. At the end i want to go south to the Blue Mountains or Melbourne. And then a last week ik Sydney.
I am planning to do a charity event for the charity based in Amsterdam that I work with.
But we are still in the planning phase....UHOH!
I have created a little project for Australia, basically I will start to do Vidlogs of what happened during the day or the week...depending on my schedule!
I have already signed up for one jam session/open stage in Sydney, so that's gonna be exciting!
But the exciting hasn't finished because next week Tuesday night I'm going to have a gig with my band and this is the poster of the event, going now. I'm off to rehearsals

Hello worldwideweb,
i just pusblished a post that I wrote circa 7 weeks ago and since then, I have been in the midst of moving to a new apartment and not having the internet for a while.
So lot's of packing and of course waiting  for the installation which took a while.
I have it has been refreshing not to be online for a while, being more present,and stopping the rhythm like this.
I learnt  to be more time-efficient when being online because i only had available a couple of hours a day. Incredible how much our life is related to this machine of information and data. Incredible how we are so entangled to it.
Maybe we get re-wired as well and start leading our life as a net, the same way the web works.
But this period of  "offliness-ness"( i love to make up words) made me start to do a lot more things such as a band to play with, that kind of came without too much searching for it. But it came.
We are maybe complete and we had a great 1st show last Saturday at a party house, called Badhuis, an old public bath! Superb building, with old arcades and original mirrors and tiles. 10 performers for this party and we managed to close it just before the midnight with a cover of i shot the sheriff by Eric Clapton, The Who with Can't explain and my original song Not afraid, which was kind of improvised because the drummer had never heard the song and we had never rehearsed it with him.
So it actually went SUPER well and I was full of adrenalin for many hours later.
And this is a very blurred picture of the FUN night:

The party was in a street called Nirwana, which in itself i thought was charming!

My week of discoveries

Tuesday night i went to see live the Scottish band The View and they were superb performers! great energy there, I am glad i saw them 'cos i really got a lot of inspiration.
They were playing at Melkweg.


 

My week of discoveries

A great club for Songwriters in Central Copenhagen or København in the local lingo..called Råhuset or more understandably  Raw House.It is not far from an area with the old slaughterhouse, nowadays a very lively area with clubs and parties. A few musicians there really caught my interest,and I had the pleasure of meeting and hearing perform: Daithi Rua I wish I played guitar that well as he does...damn! I heard two of his songs and he can perform with great energy and stage presence while being Irishly friendly and humble. I liked his two songs and I recommend anyone to check him out,a pleasure to meet. 
Second musician i was very impressed was a young man from the South of Sweden, precisely from Malmö where I actually lived for 1 year in 2010! 
The link to Ludvig's songs is here: http://soundcloud.com/ludvigjonathanandersson
He is to be followed: original songs, awesome voice and all the ingredients for a new talent coming from the incredible Sweden, full of handsome people with great open spaces and a talent for making good music. Something they eat, breath or maybe the good fresh polar air! This is Malmö, my town for one year:

This superb video: I love the scenery, the costumes, the haircut, the dancing...
I Love the voice and the song and I love the powerful positive message it carries:

      
SAY MY NAME 
       
AS EVERY COLOUR ILLUMINATES
     
WE ARE SHINING 
         
AND WE'LL NEVER BE AFRAID AGAIN 
   
SAY MY NAME 
       
AS EVERY COLOUR ILLUMINATES 
      
WE ARE SHINING 
         
AND WE'LL NEVER BE AFRAID AGAIN
