fishboi:sfo donald gordon-bell Louisville, KY It’s an odd name. Hard to pronounce, hard to understand. People don’t get it. What’s the deal ? Fishboi:sfo came about as a screen name initially. (( Pronounced “FISH - BOY - S.F.O.” or simply “FISH - BOY --SAN FRANCISCO” )) It had changed with every city I lived in as the airport codes changed: Fishboi:dfw, Fishboi:sdf, Fishboi:nyc, etc. “After moving to San Francisco, the inspiration to work on my style of music became consuming. . . I kept turning on the radio and turning it off. It seems the 80's and 90's truly had died with regards to Pop music. Melodic grooves with well written vocals were a vanishing breed. My first album, Schooled Beneath the Surface, was my first experiment to revive that genre. I believe I had great inspiration, but have just scratched he surface”. “My music Style seemed to take on a life of it’s own. I am working towards my own genre in the style of bands like those of the 70’s: Audio Soundscapes, Audio Landscapes; story telling with music. Few of my pieces are ever less than 8 minutes long -- and as much as I would love to write a 4-minute pop song, my music seems to “ Breathe” on it’s own.” My second album, "The Bubble Machine" is in final production now, with a release date of Nov, week2. "Global", is slated for next year, ( spring ) and will focus on purer structures and more classical elements, but with a twist of Japanese influenced Pop. Think: Edvard Munch's "The Scream" meets "The Power Puff Girls" . . . in music. fishboi:sfo’s tracks When We Met--fishboisfo(118 11 1) by fishboi:sfo published on 2008-10-11T18:18:41Z TGV-fishboi:sfo by fishboi:sfo published on 2008-10-10T18:14:01Z Nagasaki-fishboi:sfo by fishboi:sfo published on 2008-10-09T07:01:36Z Riverbank Abbey Oct 08 by fishboi:sfo published on 2008-10-09T03:49:34Z
