AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Hi everyone,

Corrientes has created a forum where we have a lot of talk about how we are recording our music and the instruments and gear we are using.

Please stop in and share what you're doing in your studios.

screenplay
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

did the whole correction of the screenplay in english and found a little bit of something in it, love the complexity of Kadokawa, not just because it's sorta written in his account. you will see what i mean by that when a year later the movie is out and we go through the stages of his feeling toward women from depising to admiring to finally drifting apart... it's the double twist that i like.

missed the director's call 2a.m. when he wanted to meet me and the DP for some drink out there somewhere in the Beijing street, and just talk, about the screenplay... that'd be so much fun. i do hope there still is chance though. maybe we should have Sake next time.

So here I am on a new web site, and it's... Gotta figure all this stuff out. Each new site is different and has it's own quirks.

Wish I was more of a techno geek. Then it wouldn't be so hard acclimating to the new (computer-wise, that is). Can adapt plenty good for the most part otherwise. Most of the time.

More later...

I can not help it. I love this drive inside of me that is impelling me to communicate my thoughts through my art. I have found it to be the most potent form of meditation and focus I have ever experienced.

It is no wonder that our most ancient ancestors painted their visions on the walls of caves - not anywhere near the surface for general view, but way down deep inside the earth and their only references were their own minds/spirits. We do the same when our concentration negates all distractions. Does a singer or player 'take in the views' as they are performing? No, they are somewhere inside. It must be the same with all art disciplines. Our art is our spirits communicating. It never ceases to amaze me every day I am creating, just how potent our natural creative energy really is. I go for the positive every time because it creates a greater understanding and with mutual understanding comes love. And, right now, there seems to be a huge need for love in this World in these times.

Well this is my first blog on AMP and i thought i would take this opportunity to show you all what i do, quite simply i write songs, or rather lyrics, the song i wrote as a tribute to a very special person, her name is Dawn Reese, she had been fighting cancer for about 2 years when i met her, and what stood out was the pure strength that she had, strength of character, strength of will and strength of mind, she was always amazing to be around, never sorry for herself, never depressed, never bitter, one morning i got up and just put pen to paper, and the words to true warrior flowed, at the time i was a member of songwriter101 and asked online if anyone would like to put music to the words i had written, one gentleman steppwd forward and said he would give it a try, what i got back blew me away, i think it took about two days for him to compose the music and record the vocals, since then it has been played on WIRN radio, who incidently made a cash donation to st judes hospital in dawns name, i truly hope that you get as much out of the song as i have.

Hello AMPers!

My name is Bekka. I am playing a gig in LA on Tuesday, November 7, 2006 opening for missFlag (http://www.myspace.com/missflag or http://www.missflag.com), another group from the AMP community, from Israel. Just me, my guitar, and a keyboard will open the show. It is missFlag's first time playing in the states and they are awesome! We go on at 11:00 pm.

I met missFlag on AMP, and Terri Anderson (AMP Director) and I are trying to make this into an AMP community event. I used AMP to book my successful Europe tour last July, and the site has grown exponentially since then- it now has over 1700 members from 55 countries around the world (including the newest, Iceland, Romania and Moldova...).

Can anyone recommend a coffee house or small cafe where one can play a solo performance in the Bay Area: San Francisco, Oakland, Berkley, Santa Cruz, etc.
