About Me |
|
This is the musical diary of Anne Sulikowski. She began this project in the Winter 2000 when she got her first personal computer. Since then she has musically documented and explored extraordinary events, her dreams, random thoughts and the simple pleasures and boredom of her everyday life. Building Castles out of matchsticks cannot be lumped into a particular genre as no two songs, albums or pieces are alike in style, sound or emotional drive. Her tracks range widely from a chorus-refrain synth pop to crackled blips and skips of ambience and minimalism. Her experimentations are filled with analogue synthesis, organs, broken guitar strumming, pedal manipulations, found sounds, disjointed beats and barely there vocals telling secrets she wouldn't dare write. or would she? the honesty contained in the music of building castles out of matchsticks is real. as real as the one thousand sides of anne that records them. Her lyrics are improvised and within the moment. caught off guard. revealing? anne also spends time behind a camera as both photographer and videographer... photo link to castle clips her photos are all over this page and a photo link here: trace recordings (anne's label) anne's collectively run, non profit record label. undersee recordings some collaborative projects: click on pics for links.... LOVE PUPPETS UNKNOWN BIRDS SING with Pauline Nadryczny (lodz) anne is always working on music or film. She has and is collaborating with rothko, millimetrik, -243, Phil Ogison, theapplespfenergy, lodz, Sound in Stasis, Monodrone, science north, SIRK, rhea tucanae, jan st iverson, implex grace and antonio de braga.... she also has secret recording projects.... but wait thats a secret! character is destiny and the only truth i know. |

My Interests |

Music:Member Since: 11/23/2005Band Website: room101.net/buildingcastles Band Members: several girls named anne. a few synthesizers a guitar lots of effects pedals secrets. the synthesizer is my expression. like the view of the horizon it has become part of me. do you daydream? my handwriting is terrible but i can draw robots! smile, silly face! a new video i did... about duality and A FUTURE UNKNOWN! Influences: my shifting reality. secrets. surprises. stories my memories my daydreams the stars. space. romance. Kim Gordon the colour grey. flowers. real life events. and science fiction books.... QUESTIONS... PAUSES. so what if everything i know and remember isn't even real. i think alot about that. memories? AN illusion of time missing. humble pieces thrown together. it doesn't make any sense anymore. things are shadows without substance.... and still my heart beats to the sounds of thousands of robots ALL singing to themselves. real or not that is my biggest influence of all! and things like ubik. radio shows. an eye to the sky? synthesized sounds. and every single album by Rothko i really like butterflies. country roads. report cards. sweet kisses. casino versus japan. moogs robots hawkwind with brock+turner! robert calvert first dates. getting over horrible breakups. the other window. mark beazley. three sweet kitties. phil ogison. long talks. ESCAPING heart ache... MONOLOGUE: if i could you know i would i do not want to waste another day. i would have never let you down AN ASIDE... you know i have 2 problems IN LIFE. 1. people have let me down 2. i have this inability to let things go. ? and still people seem to take and take some more.... but this is all i have. it may not be much but to me it's everything. ISN'T IT funny HOW i spend most of my time thinking daydreaming and wandering..... documenting. wishing... re-living. practicing the art of forgetting erasing. but i still know how to smile. and i really love music and flying saucer attack. and cute robots thunder storms fishies in a pond reflections in water happiness. books by philip k dick. silence. pink ballons. snowflakes. BUT i guess it doesn't mean anything. cause none of this is real! i know i know... IM STUCK IN SOME KIND OF LA LA LAND. BUT YOU KNOW, I LIKE IT HERE! i love sonic youth. dream signals. oval. i like playing with short wave radios. and matt david. looking at autumn trees. seefeel. i love post cards. original ideas. creativity. im always puttering about a small land. my most secret land lust? belonging. love.? hatred. false hopes. ideals? these are what goven my life. so lets forget everything and listen to yo la tengo. my life is filled with unreplied emails. blocked users. secret messages. empty streets. kisses goodbye. painful hellos. cold days. the longest nights. JEALOUSY? never. id rather be on pause. and now i must STOP. life without buildings ? if it was any other city.......... here's a secret.... i'm hopelessly in love with a machine! here is one of my films music by rothko a song called be invisible rothko - be invisible Add to My Profile | More Videos lets pause for another moment. i know there is no modern romance and still i wait most patiently.... and i like it when it rains cause no one sees me crying. I'm lost. but not in this world that i have created... is this the end? all over again! Sounds Like: electronic lullabyes filled with oscillating synthesis telling stories of love of dreams shattered of promises not broken lies often told fairy tales coming true and other strange things i think about. smile, silly face is available for 15 dollars from 9 12 records 19 songs of love, loss, mystery, dreamstates and secret messages.... here are some of my indie releases from worthy records, if you would like to purchase one just click on the little button.... all releases are $5 canadian free shipping anywhere. "oh, didn't she ramble...." "the secret doctrine" "studios and airplanes" "there is no modern romance" YOU KNOW everyone has a story..... filled with dreams and secrets. i know i've said alot. BUT perhaps i didn't really say too much at all. maybe it's just scrambled words and random bursts of emotions i feel from time to time. i don't know. I've stopped trying to figure alot of things out. ....... i guess to an outsider it may seem that i dont know much but i do know that things will just get better from here. Record Label: trace recordings/worthy/chatblanc/9.12/pingthings Type of Label: Indie |
