nicolaas maritz nicolaas maritz Darling / Cape Town Did it start with piano lessons in the 1960's? I don't know really. Maybe much before; birds singing in the sub-tropical bushveld near Thabazimbi. Some school choir, and then a bit of Oratorio choir singing later; guitar and banjo nights at the Four Winds Folk Club. Oops! I knew and listened to Bach before I really knew about the bible or TV or anything grown-up like that. Of course it was David Bowie next. New musical messiah I suppose. Very slinky. Then it was downhill all the way to, yes I will admit, even to the trenches of TRANCE, although I reserve judgment on that one till much later. Now I've got garageband and FL and acid and it seems endless FREE LOOPS, so it's very much bob's yer uncle. And I've become attuned to the happy accidents; those incidental in-between acoustic noises that are so elusive; so beautiful. All those labels, those tags, those tidy descriptions...what's the point? Soundcloud is now so very dense with generic club music. It's all got a bit degenerated, a bit thin, but hey...we kids must have our funnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. For me it's more exciting now to find individual musicians here and there who can express themselves through a landscape of fascinating patterns of sound, not just switch on some kind of beat and feel wanted. Now I call myself a soundscaper. It's a whole new language to discover every time. I'ts magic. It keeps me young...and tender...and you? nicolaas maritz’s tracks And then came the rain by nicolaas maritz published on 2018-06-16T12:11:00Z Queen Modjadji visits Mumbai by nicolaas maritz published on 2018-06-04T15:35:15Z Nasturtium Leaf by nicolaas maritz published on 2018-06-01T10:01:24Z The Boy with the Big Didgeridoo by nicolaas maritz published on 2018-06-01T09:54:24Z Graveyard Gnome by nicolaas maritz published on 2018-06-01T09:39:30Z Glass Prison by nicolaas maritz published on 2018-06-01T09:33:49Z Syncopated Drag Queens by nicolaas maritz published on 2018-06-01T09:29:05Z Dhoop Sticks Quartet (1.
