thanks Tommy rad comment.  Yeh i think getting more proficient with the speed control and power stuff is what i'll be shooting for.

 Hey Kai, i saw a documentary on the Mandelbrot set in '06 and i've been in love with fractals ever since. Its a mathematical representation of infinite flow..... I thought it naturally fit into the liquid n digitz ideal!

after seeing Roxy's post thought i'd make a post about how i started dancing.

 in 2004, i smashed up my left ankle in a mountain bike injury on Mt Cypress in Vancouver. 6 months later I danced for the first time and had the best time of my entire life. I was at a super low-key Ferry Corsten concert in Van, smashed on acid and mushrooms. WHat an epic night.
ANyways, i woke up the next morning and my recently-recovered left ankle was really sore. So i pretty much decided on the spot that my lifestyle of the previous 4 years (mountain biking) was going to give way to this new passion - dance. I realised risking my neck wasn't as important anymore and i didn't want to be unable to dance because of injuries. ANyways, from then on dance has snowballed to the point where it is now. Its pretty much everything.

anyways, there ya go.

I remember when i first got a reflective account, i was still in the drug scene back then (2005) .... i sent LPE a couple of wacked out messages lol

hm you just reminded me i need to re-dl ferry corstens latest album :). i've also seen him on the low-key tip about 2 years ago in a record store before going to the club to see him, he spun for like me n 30 other people, loved it!

i think im back to doin the thing where Liquid goes on the backburner for the next few months while i work on dance that is more about legs and trunk. I even start tutting a bit more. I find tutting fun becoz of the structure within it. Liquid has far less structure but so much more freedom.

 ANyhoo, been focusing on popn/boog, and contemporary/ballet (strength, balance & structure) training. Its good but i twisted my left ankle last night a bit.

I'll do just enough liquid so that my skillz don't deteriorate too much. But almost nuthin. Maybe once or twice a fortnight.

But when i do liquid, my main thing is tempo atm. Trying to keep to the pace of the music without going too far off on my own tangents. I think its key!

When i see liquid, and i see musicality that is about catching the right sound or stopping at the appropriate moment, i find it a lil bit cheezy if the tempo of the song isn't being matched.

  Doin all those lil fun thing are great, but my big new thing in terms of musicality is about keeping the tempo first, catching the pings and warps second.

I guess im assuming that the keeping with the pace/tempo of the song is the foundation of musicality. Occasional or regular deviation from it is fine, but keeping with the song's tempo seems to be the essence of 'matching' a song. This is something i have been clueless about with my liquid up until now.

any thoughts?

I think Kai said something about over musicality and trying to get away from it recently. I too had gone deep down that rabbit hole of catching every little thing and decided it was obnoxious. So yeah I'm with you on this. Using beat freaks is "cheezy" if overused. I'm starting to lean back to an older idea I had and that is dancing to the most prominent sound in the music when the sounds change into a new section then going back to groove or tempo.
