I think I have always tried to create music that I would want to hear. That I would get lost in. Music that makes me go off to an icey wonderland in my head. I know sounds weird but I think I like the image of an icey wonderland cause its so serene looking. Has a calming effect. Most people think of a beach , which is cool too but I dunno. Maybe its cause I like to create a sound that gives me images of sliding glaciers and a noise I think they would make. I always thought that when it was snowing somehow it was so calm and peaceful. So thats where mellow dreamy sounds running out of the guitar speakers get real dreamy like you are floating on clouds. Like when you have those dreams that seem real......I always had dreams growing up of flying through the air. And it really felt like I was flying. It was scary at times cause you get conscious about what is going on then you just let go and feel strong enough to fly. This is life. But what I try to bring out of my guitar speakers is all these images in my head.Kind of how like a glacier has a wide bass from the ice melting down the sides because the top point is closet to the warm sun. The light from above feeds my mind Sometimes consciously sometimes unconsciously. Inside my body the day dream and nocturnal dreams melt from my mind down into my hands and fingers and bleed onto my guitar strings blending together as one. Floating through the guitar cable into the guitar head which decifers all the images coming through and translates them so they can travel through the speaker cable and then in turn.......they pour out of the speaker cabinet. Sometimes dripping out slowly like melting ice and snow, sometimes searing out like an icestorm and sometimes like a blizzard. Anyway these travel out into the airwaves of life , I hope you catch them and can feel what I feel to our music. Because it brings me great happiness and it would bring me great warmth to make people happy this way. Whatever the place is in your head that makes you happy and at peace I hope Costa Nova can be a part of it.
Much love,
Andy
