Having been involved in an unfortunate scandal, details too complex to go into here, I have established this blog out of the way from Wellingtonians - esp. anyone associated with [group].
I have just completed the application for Student Allowance for next year, as I will be living in Christchurch with little or no income, that is unless I audition well for the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra - thus getting gigs! I might also try and set up some kind of Jazz combo to play at the Jazz bar. I assume that I will have:
a) not many friends
b) a lot of time to practice
c) not much food or money to buy the latter with
d) a car to travel througout the Canterbury region
e) all of the above.
Like a nomad in a foreign country, all will be new and left open for me to explore and understand. Sadly it will not be in another language. Speaking of nomadic territory, I highly reccomend two films by Tony Gatlif: Vengo and Latcho Drom. Both films are documentary-esque, about two very different but similar [oxymoron] cultures: the Andalucian Gypsies and the Romanian Gypsies. Music plays a large part in both, being a dominant aspect in both cultures. A trip away to another world.
