that one is playing right now. It would *have* to be the youth orchestra... most orchestras would walk out if someone tried to physically choreograph their movements. hehe.
Incredible soundscape and video (great find!) but I feel a little bit weird now. But happy. Don't know why. Thanks @MarcelVonpure Thank you too. I found it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo97ztKppIw I think she could be friend with one of my favourite french singer, Camille.
@jonnyneale5 It's just alicemay as a username is always taken (and I like to consistently be me as I'm easily confused). As alicemay, I seem to pop up all over the world. I'm constantly getting emails from tutors in NZ about essays and workshops, and last year had a whole bunch of thank yous for invites to alicemay's 21st birthday party. Meanwhile, I'm apparently a member of NZ Fitness gym who is in interested in a new circuits class...
...while coincidentally in Texas I'm a fitness instructor looking for love on a dating site and who seems to have a particular penchant for mullets. At school my teachers used to think it was hilarious to speculate what Alice just may do next so, with spectacular lack of imagination, I opted for that. If you need more information I can happily rabbit on. Am quite good with socks, actually. Have never burnt them, and rarely lose just one in a washing machine. :)
"While coincidentally in Texas". Great name for a band.
Stop showing off with your southern belle sock prowess. Some of us sacrifice one to every darned wash. Bastarding sock gods - they need placating.
@jonnyneale5 'southern belle sock prowess' - first time I've heard anyone living in Glasgow described as having southern belle qualities. Ha.
Anyway - personally, I'd drop the gerund and call the band Bastard Sock Gods. A brilliant idea, sir.
Ahhh, whoops. I got lost there in your storytales for a moment. I thought you ACTUALLY are living in Texas (and looking for love!). Still Glasgow eh? Could there be two more disparate places? Glasgow Texas - the Wim Wenders film that got both lost and lost in translation.
Gerund? At this hour? With your reputation?
I had to look it up - not often I do that. Even less admit it. I'm going to try and casually drop it in conversation at the very first opportunity. :0)
@jonnyneale5 Indeed; the alicemays above are nothing to do with me - I just get emails meant for them sent to me quite frequently. And yes: Glasgow = drugs. I used to drive every week from the north west of England to Scotland and back; and what struck me were the gantry signs. In civilised Cheshire, there was a sign reading 'Pick up your litter - others do' (which, while not best worded, still gives you the gist of it). The first one I'd see outside Glasgow read: 'Don't take drugs and drive'.
Brilliant. I'm going to get a photo of me taken toking a spliff in front of that.
Well Alice May, may I say, I'm impressed with your most excellent command of English.
In spite of the inherent Scottishness. Obviously.
@jonnyneale5 Ah, but I'm not Scottish. Only been here a year. The best thing I saw just outside Glasgow city centre was an urban speed sign saying "20's plenty", and collapsed at the foot of it was a bloke with a can of Kestrel or similar in his hand.
@stellakoto Still haven't had time to watch all of Handsfree, much to my frustration - have been sat here at my computer most of the day but haven't been able to give the performance my full attention. Gaah! Looking forward to it tomorrow... :)

LOVE layers/variation/repetition ... and this is a stunning example! Enjoyed the arrhythmic cacophony that kicked in 2nd half.
AlicejustMay
@clickysounds Isn't it incredible? I get a physical reaction to it - sort of prickly eyes and clicky teeth - just the way it unfolds... :))))))))

@clickysounds There's another which I haven't listened to yet over at @GetIntoZeChoppa's page

Wow. I wish I could listen to this on a super-hi-fi crystal clear and brutally loud stereo rather than through my laptop speakers.
AlicejustMay
@thisismymistake Ah - I'm lucky enough to work with excellent and brutally loud hifi/speakers to hand...
MarcelVonpure
I have this EP...Great jam! (also liked her premiere of that clapping piece at the proms, what was it called? "hands free" i think..)
thisismymistake
@AlicejustMay Crank it up!!!
thisismymistake
(Also, the video is hilarious...)
AlicejustMay
@thisismymistake I've turned it up past 11 to 'earbleed'...

WOW !
HazeyJay
My word, this is fantastic!
cyberspiel
@thisismymistake Come over to my place! ...and please dear God, on anything but laptop speakers.
cyberspiel
@MyBlueElephant Yeah, really interesting... but quite out-there.
cyberspiel
Hahaha... my girlfriend in the other room thought it was a car alarm going off! :-)
jonnyneale5
Ooooo. Nice work AJM. By the way, 'May' just do what? Whatever she pleases? Burn your socks? Make me toast?
jonnyneale5
Fractal mathematics?

@MarcelVonpure @MyBlueElephant Yes, that's the one @GetIntoZeChoppa mentioned (many thanks, kind sir, for both discoveries). Just... oooh.
AlicejustMay
@ythind @MrMcLeanJohn @revd76 Glad it got you in the same way!

I imagine everyone in Texas is looking for love. Glasgow? Drugs.

Loved this - and wow to Handsfree! - thanks for the link @MyBlueElephant

abigail.deeks
Wow, this is absolutely amazing, even if it does make me feel slightly on edge! :)
AlicejustMay
@abigail.deeks It's really out there, isn't it? Think I freaked the neighbours out a bit over the weekend, though!
