Now, Elizabeth works as a designer, an activity that began almost by chance in the 80's when the flyers to their bands. Below Elizabeth tells Chelsea Zine "a summary of his life is not bad. It's thirty years of having participated in various bands undeground they deserve to be heard.
What happened to the short films in Super 8 called "Dreaming"? I have yet
roll and glide quickly convert to a digital format, I'll probably put on the Internet at some point. Recently I looked for primera time since shortly after I did. It is a very silly short about a girl who is tired and trying to nap, but is awake and your dreams. I did it in 1980 for a college project when I lived in Santa Barbara, California, but returned home in my city, Ventura, California to film using some friends there as actors.
What was the first band you played? Tell me a little of it.
I always loved watching bands playing live ever since I was little and when I moved from Ventura to Santa Barbara for college to study art, and looked out local bands and some that were out of town whenever I had the opportunity. Played guitar, butmostly the piano since I was a girl, so in 1980 I decided to buy an electric keyboard with the idea that I would start or join a band eventually. A few days after I bought the keyboard, was the center of a room of a restaurant / bar and bumped into Dave Fontana. I had seen him play guitar at least twice in a local band called "ƒX". I introduced myself to him because he had a question about how to connect my keyboard and I thought he would know the answer. We started talking and he said his band was looking for a keyboardist and I thought that I could join. I had no intention of joining a band so quickly, but after meeting with the rest of the band, and some thought, I said Ok. I felt qugeese but with a drum machine.
Dave, Joe and I also put together a new set of instrumental songs with another friend named Tim Gardner and called the banda "Victor the Florist." When we started this band, it was the intention that only would play a live show, and that's what we did, but also recorded the songs. Now when I hear the music, I think "Victor the Florist" sounded like a cross between the music of a Fellini film and the band Wall of Voodoo, "while" a few Circles "sounds like a dark but funny" Gang of Four.
After Joe and I moved to Los Angeles at the end of 1982, former members of "a few Circles" went to the studio and recorded some tools for underground sessionshorter, so that's why I'm looking to change the neck.
I think the guitar has become my favorite instrument because, in addition to low, is an extremely personal, in part because of the way to hold it, and the guitar has the added flexibility and expressiveness provided that the six strings. not get me wrong, I still love the bass and keyboards (especially piano), and I really like the synth sounds too. The possibilities for unique sounds heard on the computer are endless, do not ever let it begin to talk about what computers are great to make music, not stop ever. Furthermore, although I never played one, I always loved the sound of the cellothat can be done simply by what the designer wants to express, as when designing flyers for the bands, for example.
I was living and working in the field of design since 1982. I started working in factories shirts, designing the graphics to be printed on shirts. At one point the entire band "a few Circles" worked together in the same factory in Santa Barbara, and when Joe first moved to Los Angeles, also work together in the same factory for a while before I go back to college . After college, since I majored in Fine Arts, did not think I would want a career in design because I felt I never confused my creativity as an artist. I worked as an assistantartist and then as a waitress, an archivist and a researcher as well as photos and then decided to re-design. At that time, computers had become a necessity for designers so I had to teach myself how to use a computer. I worked for many years in publications printed designs. Now I love especially the web design is so immediate. The Internet is a wonderful thing. You played at The Gun Club for a while. What was Jeffrey Lee Pierce?
Jeffrey was a fantastic person. I was very fortunate at that time to know and play with him and I said, I think he appreciated having someone around who respected him. I loved his music, he had a great personality, heloved telling stories and was a very good friend of mine.
The moment I met him, his doctors had given him six months to live, but it was incredibly stoic about it. Of course it affected him physically and emotionally and he talked about it, but there was really sorry for himself. To be honest, it looked completely real at the time. I do not necessarily have believed the predictions of doctors, not act as if he did so because I do not think I've done either. I think it would have done, death is very critical.
addition to time spent in the hospital, he was very active during those months, but also found time to s
