ƒriction=ƒire


Friction:Fire is Colm O C********** and has been making computer based ambient electronic music since the birth of Rebirth, Fruity loops and Acid. He is currently setting up a studio in a secret location in Co. Kildare.
Colms music can be described as the sounds of an insomniac dreamer. Having mostly made tunes in bed at 4am with a powerbook, big headphones and a warm lap, he hopes his tunes convey this.

I am Colm Friction:Fire,

*update* i now have a macbook pro,apogee duet, sennheiser hd595's, logic studio 8 and a dell 2408wfp monitor. im experimenting with more upfront sounds. i havent been using logic at all as id prefer to keep the momentum going using reason, ive gone from 2.5 to 3.

Peace

Oh I watched that as well. Poor couture, no longer Oh so h'aute couture. that had to be a tough beat.
I was with my dad this weekend. Spent a day at Malibu. The west wind had blown the smoke from the huge fires in LA over, and the beach was covered with night. While tragic, it was incredible. My lungs hurt though. safely back home.
Oh, saw kanye W. on the road. He really does wear those funny looking glasses.

Hola Colm- Glad to hear your pumping iron @ the gym. Stay @ it hun. Its the best thing for you.

The other day I was coming home from the gym and saw a beautiful dog (chow) on a leash running around frantically on the train tracks. I ran after that poor little monster for "55" minutes. Did you hear me? I said "55" minutes. Not only did I not catch the poor guy, but I'm sure I gave loads of people a good laugh from their cars & towers.

So anyways, my legs were so soar the next day. Its not funny. Stop laughing.

hope your doing well.

Hey Colm, thank you for that song. I do like it.
Its sort of a strange time for me. The anniversary of a very important time in my life. I went to the beach to take my mind off things (its 79f today), when I got back my car had disappeared. Poof, gone. I have a head cold as well.
OK, now your all caught up with me. ;-)
Send me some pix from the new camera. I'm excited for you. Hope all is well with you.
