"I do not currently dabble with other creative art forms, music is most
definitely my thing! Besides writing electronic music I actually play quite
a few instruments: guitar, drums, bass guitar, didgeridoo! and so spend some
of my spare time bashing the hell out of a drum kit in a band, quite the
opposite of my beloved ambient music!"

No, I've never engaged.
but I do design for my CD jacket and take pictures for it.
I found many interests to make reasonable combinations between
music inside and artwork outside.
- Koji Asano: Experimental Musician @ Solstice
I did lots more Filmaking earlier in my career. "Viaduct" "Tracks"
Text/Poetry too: "Silence" "City Street Scenes"

Computer graphic arts in the form of the software, Bryce 4. I love
this software. Even someone with little experience can create great looking
pieces.. no favorites really, just a lot of fun...I notice that many cd
covers are done with Bryce...
- Dino Pacifici: Music-Language of the Spirit
I write occasionally, sometimes obsessively for a time. This is usually
when I'm not working on music as much, as I have to have some outlet to stream
the ideas....It's more a private and personal thing, so I don't really have
an example. I may publish something someday.

I intend to write a short story about psychosis in the city.
- Andrew Lagowski: noise programmer
Yes, I also work in visual art. But - it's like children -I don't have a
favourite.
- Nigel Ayers: of Nocturnal Emissions
I was involved in a number of other art forms long before I got into music.
In fact, since my early twenties I always assumed that writing would be my
main form of expression, and that if I were to become known for anything,
it would be that. My favorite piece of my own writing is a novel I wrote
in 1993 (actually the third novel I wrote, none of them published) called
"Hum." It's a story about a person who acquires the ability to see, and
move around in, different layers of reality that are not apparent to those
around him, but which overlap our own consensus reality.
- M. Griffin: Hypnos Recordings
although i don't do it often enough, i find painting to be very relaxing.
it's one creative form that leaves me feeling completely satisfied- because
i have absolutely no expectations of the experience or results. i have one
small painting of an octopus with tree limbs as arms that is probably my
favorite.
- Jon Sheffield: bedroom
producer
I generally tend to focus my energies exclusively on music, although I
have, in the past, enjoyed drawing stick figure cartoons as a sort of
"running commentary" of my life in general. They aren't much to look at or
read, but they help me vent the day to day frustrations that we all face.
- Jeff Pearce: ambient guitarist
i'm also a graphic designer... a favorite piece? the cover for Sound
Track "The Cooler" coming out soon on caipirinha music... or the new
vertical 12k logo.

For me another creative immersion involves the writing of fiction,
but this remains a private endeavor at the moment, and I am not yet
ready to bring any piece out into the world.
- Joshua Maremont: Thermal / Boxman label
I've been a graphic artist for many years, and still consider this my
main strength artistically, I suppose. I've done a series of painted
slides I'm quite pleased with, something I should probably post on
Foundrysite. I also write and would say that several of the Foundry
chapbooks are pretty successful. My faves are X's Disease, Seven Wonders
of the Ancient World, Theseus and Ariadne, and the upcoming Aria.
- M. Bentley: the foundry
For this is absolutely an obvious choice since I've been doing photography
for several of my CD releases and while I regret having no more time free
for going deeper into this creativity, it always has been for me the
perfect way of explaining and describing my music. Even when I can't
manifest myself anylonger as a musician, I do hope to continue to find that
satisfaction in photography.
