Twelve Moons manifesto (Goddard subjective version) /Moja wersja manifestu TM :-)

The idea standing behind Twelve Moons Tribute to King Crimson project was to pay a homage to our masters and to allow people to enjoy the extraordinary and the only one Music of KC live (as most probably there won't be a chance to watch the Mighty Beast playing together again live and if it was then it may be almost impossible to get the tickets for the concert, and impossible at least in Europe).

Our aim was to prepare 20 compositions of KC (mostly from 80's & 90's) and we have just recently achieved our Aim. We also want to present the project to as wide audience as possible and plan a tour for September (due to the cancellation of our April tour because of the Polish president's plane crash in Smolensk on April 10th with almost 100 victims aboard and 8-day national mourning that followed it).

That was also one of the ways for the band to play in this special personnel as the guys from the rhythm section are full time self-unemployed musicians and it is hard for them to find a time to work on the new band's original music when they not only won't get paid and the risk of failure is ratively high while time necessary is not aplicable to measurement.

The next few months will show if on the base of us playing KC's music something valuable and original can be grown. We have got twice onto KC's official site (thank you Sid!), we got 350+ fans on Facebook (thank you to all of you sending good wishes) and few thousand streamings of our live clips on YouTube (around 1000 each).

I can feel an open opportunity for us and a potential that I dream to not to let down. But to succeed, many many things need to happen at the same time. And I don't think of a blind destiny (as I don't believe in something like this), but an equal input of each other of us and the same, clear Aim for all of us.

As my master, Robert Fripp says: 'It is a folly to expect an open door to remain open forever'.

Ideą całego przedsięwzięcia Tribute to KC było po piewsze primo złożenie hołdu naszym mistrzom a po drugie primo umożliwienie posłuchania nieprzeciętnej muzyki KC na żywo, której to okazji większość słuchaczy/fanów nie ma i raczej już nie będzie miała. Naszym celem było przygotowanie 20 kompozycji KC i cel ten osiągnęliśmy. Był to także sposób na to żeby zespół w tym składzie zafunkcjonował ponieważ sekcję rytmiczną tworzą ludzie utrzymujący się z grania i niezwykle trudno im wykroić czas, a tworzenie własnej (w dodatku wspólnej, bo inna mnie nie interesuje) muzyki to proces czasochłonny i jeszcze mniej się zarabia w ten sposób niż grając zarobkowo na codzień, nie wspominając o ryzyku klapy.

Najbliższy czas pokaże czy na fundamencie naszego wspólnego grania muzyki KC pojawi się coś nowego i wartościowego, a przede wszystkim własnego. Na razie narobiliśmy sporo hałasu, dwukrotnie napisali o nas na oficjalnej stronie KC, mamy ponad 350 fanów na Facebooku, kilka tysięcy oglądnięć clipow z koncertu na YouTube i ogromny potencjał, którego marzy mi się nie zmarnować. Ale do tego żeby się nam udało potrzeba bardzo wiele korzystnych zbiegów okoliczności. I nie mówię o tym w sensie losu, który za nas zadecyduje, bo w nic takiego nie wierzę lecz równie mocnego zaangażowania każdego z nas i wyznaczenie wspólnego celu dla całego zespołu.

Jak mówi mój mistrz, Robert Fripp: 'Głupotą jest oczekiwać, że otwarte drzwi pozostaną otwarte na zawsze'

Walking and thinking of life' circle

I sit after short walk in the same park my mother was visiting with me more than 30 years ago. With me there is a sleeping son Kacper in the carrier basket (I hope this is the right word). It's strange that this time have run out so quickly and I'm pretty sure I have never thought I will walk with my children the same paths in 20 years. I'm wondering where the time of the last 20 years have gone by. I wonder where I would have been today if I went to Guitar Craft course let's say in 1995. I only regret my time wasted on unnecessary actions and activities. But maybe this have to be that way and everything has its purpose (I use to say that to my wife).

I don't earn enough money to cover our needs and better salary for a moment seems to be beyond my reach. I wonder if I would have a problem with spending the money if I had more than we need. And I like to follow my comitment to GC while I still haven't returned the money I have borrowed to go to Barcelona. Does anyone have any job for creative and intelligent person without the MA? For reasonable money of course...

My wife has just called that her visit to the dentist ended and she is coming with my daughter here, so I have to finish the post...

What to say? It's good that it is a lovely and sunny weather today :-)

New beginning

I went to the Guitar Craft course in San Cugat/Barcelona at the beginning of July and I have returned as a different person. Or at least as a material for a different person.

This blog will be a part of this experience.
