Out of Quebec


I think I've become a stalker....I absolutely love Karin Beckérus. I would like to point out to Karin's family and friends, my wife, my kids, my lawyer and any private detective following me that I have no evil, weird or malicious intent going on in my mind, I just think she makes great music.

When things are stripped down to the bare minimum you always end up with a purity of thought. I am envious of the ability to make something that is minimal, sound as big as the world. Old school (German?) electronic music sounded like this, there was a limited amount of equipment available to use so their resources dictated the sound of the final product; these days we all have an unlimited supply of samples and virtual synths, we can be as big and as fat as we want - the trick is to be selective. There is an old blues guitar saying, 'it is not what you play, it is the spaces you leave that make a good song'. Out of Quebec make the spaces sound massive and give me butterflies in my stomach.

  2. ...thanks very much for that - but being slightly dyslexic I was alarmed when I thought you said, "I may just shoot my dog", either way a premature 'putting to sleep' is a rather drastic measure and not required.
