The less I practise, the better I get.
Tim’s experimental ensemble “The Ride” digs in with a live performance at O Patro Vys in Montreal. Combining electronics, effects and loopy, knob-twiddling bits the ensmble spins a club-like ambience, combining electronics and effects with traditional instruments, reconciling the worlds of the DJ DJ Not to be confused with “musician” or “talented artist”; plays music by inserting small hydrocarbon disc in digital player or analog turntable; manipulates sound and media in alledged “performance” of music, often using a laptop or other pre-recorded source; post-millenium equivalent of drugged-out rock star, but cooler and with better drugs; most musicians are envious of the DJ because he actually makes a living while they still deliver pizza or work at the music store; gets more chicks than drummers /samplist and schooled musician Musician not to be confused with “drummer” and sometimes “trombonist”; lowest member of the “entertainment industry” hierarchy; poor, starving, sometimes homeless person, often with meth or heroin addiction; hearing-impaired and sometimes tone deaf; has cool clothes and can sleep with nearly any woman who sees him onstage, even if he can’t play very well; if schooled institutionally, may go on to become unsuccessful at teaching and eventually commit suicide; DJ who can’t scratch .
