Opus Flume

Techno / Ambient / Psychedelic

Caen

Billboard

I've been around since 1947 & ran away with the rock 'n roll circus when I was 17. Played piano in 4 bands, plus 2 in the late '60s / early '70s, when we all went psychedelic thanks to Tim, Ram Dass & Ralph. Got into meditation & hung out in Sri-Lanka playing the monk for a while. Returned to England & formed a trio that played strange versions of old songs from the '30s & '40s. Moved to France where I played in yet another rock band, but the vibe wasn't there so I joined a travelling theatre group. That fell apart & I got into classical music, which I taught & played until I got bored with it. Made a few - 8 - short video movies, one of which was a 9 min clip for "psycho rave", my first excursion into techno, in '93. I'll get it digitalified (that's a good word) & put it on Virb° asap. Bought a good ol' groovebox & then an XP 80 I still use. I don't use a computer for music - though many say I should - hence my trashy sound & habit of saying "that's enough of that" , but I'm funny that way I guess, & though some of my stuff embarrasses me, I can live with it. Well, I mean I'm not trying to do "business as usual" you see.
Anyways... along the road I've been married & divorced twice, & have 2 daughters & 2 sons who are all over 20 now. My south African girlfriend (I hear you, white girl !) is beautiful & I luv her madly.
As for the planet, whew ! What a mess. . . (Virb° excepted !). . . , & I'm convinced that the only way out, the only polite way to kiss matter goodbye, is through symbiotic relationships with the naturally occuring plant hallucinogens.
You won't see me playing anyware these days. I've had more than a good bash at it.
May you all be happy !

Hello, Mr. Flume! Sorry the last five tracks weren't working for you. I'm pretty sure that was a nasty little bug. Try again? After listening through several of your tracks, I decided to download "Severus" and am currently enjoying it on iTunes. I have yet to make it through your entire playlist since it's so massive, but am liking some of the ones I've heard so far, particularly "Severus" and "The Bird and the Saucer." It's kind of funny that you don't use a computer for this stuff considering how electronica-sounding it is. You mention in your bio that you got into classical music for awhile. Did you ever compose anything that was recorded? I'd be interested to hear that stuff. (Perhaps I just haven't yet reached it on the playlist though!)
