STATS
Name: James Peter Bethell - Jamie to my mom, James to my friends, and sometimes I've called D. Kaph
Occupation: student/philosopher/musician/poet/celebrator of life
Music Style: lol how's this for a niche genre: "dark uplifting pounding melodic smooth progressive tribal tech trance." Plus whatever else comes out.
Years Playing: Well, I've been producing electronica for about 3 years now, playing the piano for 4, guitar for 8, bass guitar for 9, and then saxamaphone and ukalale, recorder et al since elementary.
Zodiac Sign: Cancer. If there's anything about me that's typical, it's that I'm a typical (emotional) cancer boy.
Age: Had to think about that for a sec. :) 22 (and half!)
Hobby: Well, I don't dabble in anything - I either do it or I don't - but I love music, photography, physics, poetry, dancing, graphic design, radio broadcasting, reading, writing, and spanking it. Not necessarily in that order.
Last Project: Songwise? I'm working on about 5 right now.. my synth is right in front of me and it says "tada" so I suppose that would be it.
Current Project: Like I said, about 5 (or more) of them. I think it's finishing "tada," but I keep getting sidetracked on this breakbeat, so maybe that wants to be a different track or maybe I'm supposed to make it a different progression.. have to see where it goes.
Next Project: I'm really wanting to get working with my girls again - my vocalists that is. Heather is a nursing student in her final year, so it's hard to find time with her, but I have a couple of other girls who've expressed interest so maybe I'll do a track with like 4 different vocalists singing in harmonics. Not sure yet. I don't play projects, they just kind of happen.
Childhood: Perpetually. It's a great virtue to be a child throughout your life I think.

FAVOURITES Place: wherever you go, there you are. Woman or Man: Women are beautiful creatures. Hero or Mentor: Hmm.. Paul Van Dyk & Beethoven for music, Hawking for physics, Stephen King for writing. Kahlil Gibran for everything else. Sport: biking and volleyball. And girl chasing (which goes without saying) Car: bike Food: garlic and slushie. is that a food? Animal: wolves/dogs, human beings (in that order) Book: The Prophet, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Stranger in a Strange Land Film: Dead Poet's Society, The Wall, Dune Season: All of them. But I'm a summer baby, so that's my element. Colour: blue or orange. plus silver. ack. all of them. Piece of Gear: Yamaha Motif6 super-duper power synth/seq/sampler

Painting of D · Kaph "We are all angels. We are all demons. There must be contrast, otherwise angels wouldn't BE angels, they would just be. So demons are a necessary counterpart (like if there was no light, then we wouldn't have a word for dark, because it would just be that way)

OBJECTS
Regret: only the things i haven't done
Fear: only that of fear itself
Perfect Night: when you trance for 8 hours and effictively leave your body to join the mass of energy around you consciously
Virtue: persuasiveness
Defect: emotionally inclined (this is a virtue also, but more often a vice)
Worry: i don't worry, i prepare
Kiss: not in a long time, but love to.
Something to Solve: the riddle of existence
Frustration: the riddle of existence
Doubt: none
Challenge: manifesting the right things
Things you never do: treat a lady poorly
Dream: that's funny. just as that came up one of my tracks (in-phase) got the part where Heather says "You are awake welcome to the dream." That's my answer... ie life is a dream
Hope: full of it
Memory: all the important things
Vice: smoking, swearing.i fucking swear a lot :)

OPINION
Sex: spanking it is better and your palm doesn't get mad when you go straight to the music machine afterwards.
Love: i am bursting at the seams with it
Music:everything except for music that sucks
Vancouver: i'm from victoria before Kamloops, so i'm afraid I'll have to say that Vancouver is dirty. :)
Heaven: ... is earth
Hell: is of your own creation
Deity: the self and all selves
Lust: unfortunately
Friends: A part of my family, who recieve great whopping piles of love.
Fashion: self styled...value village
Angels: we are all angels
Demons: we are all demons. There must be contrast, otherwise angels wouldn't BE angels, they would just be. So demons are a necessary counterpart (like if there was no light, then we wouldn't have a word for dark, because it would just be that way)
Aliens: hehe. ... we are all aliens... and yes, absolution to extraterrestrials... er, absolutely.
Happiness: is found in acceptance
Time: a function of the expanding universe. weird again, now I'm listening to my track "time dilation" which is about relativistic time dilation, where time slows down for the observer who approaches light speed.
War: "stupid bestial mortals, making war, destroying yourselves. Don't you see that war will kill you? all of you? " - poisideon
Religion: life. If your religion is a fancy suit that you can put on and take off then you'd be better off naked.
Peace: "Peace? Peace? I hate the word!" - Tybalt from from R&J. Personally, I think it is found in acceptance. It is analogous with "happiness"
Death: "There is no such thing as death - in nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise." - Charles Mackay (and I read that when I conducted my father's funeral). Energy is never destroyed nor created, only ever converted...
TV: a tool necessary to bring me Simpsons
Pain: experience it, cherish it, allow it to pass through you.. only you will remain.
Reincarnation: (see death)
Life: the grandest achievement
Past: is where the circumstances for the present arise.
Future: is where our present circumstances have yet to lead us
Success: fulfillment of purpose
Perfection: impossible, because everything is dynamic therefor in a constant state of limbo. If perfection were achieved, it would all stop, having been balanced. Actually, it might happen yet.
Excellence: is rarely recognised before you're dead
Parties: LIFE IS A PARTY. Not the other way around
Future of dance music: we haven't imagined it yet.. but it will probably work around full-circle into something new altogether.
Justice: is not for us to administer
Traveling: awakens the soul
Miracles: happen every second of every day. That we are even here is a miracle.
Family: mom, sister, dog, friends
The Internet: The nation of Instant Gratification.
Truth: is in you and all around you.
Communication: necessary to find truth
Youth: is fleeting
