Remember Weston Thompson? He produced lush trancy tracks and is also a very good painter and visual artist? Last year he told me that he was going to quit making music.
It was obviously the rantings of an impassioned busy and scatter brained man who had a little too much on his plate and frayed emotions for some reason. He's been teaching at CSUC in relative isolation ever since.
I often think about him, what he's up to, when he's going to start making music again, how his classes are going, if he likes his students and if having students makes him feel old.
Well guess what...I SAW WESTON...AND...HE WAS WEARING EAR BUDS AND WAS TINKERING IN LOGIC!!!
I do believe the man is back to it and when I inquired he told me that he wasn't making songs, he was just making a piece of music with video and that the non-song he was writing is inseperable from the visual piece.
I'm sure his piece is a song and I for one am thrilled that he's tip-toeing back into the game. Weston is a very talented man and I've missed his presence in the non-academic electronic media arts scene.
I hope to see his piece soon. He mentioned he'll be submitting it to a film fest at 1078.
