<\/a><\/div>\nActually a lot of the music is up beat and optimistic so figure that one out,
\nI wish I could.Perhaps because music takes me to another place that I can
\nnot otherwise occupy, or maybe at the best of times opens a doorway for me.
\nI think I have drifted through every musical style in the history of Mankind,
\nor personkind perhaps, or am I getting a bit Californian: as I have always
\nbeen interested in almost every sort of music from pop to the musicals and
\nthe classics, I would love to get into film \/soundtrack writing but it is
\nof course like every other part of the music world highly competative. In
\nthe last year I have got back in to playing live again with a band called
\nElephant Shelf, and I perform the occasional Glass Cage song with them. I
\nam also doing acoustic versions of some of the songs in live performance from
\ntime to time. This is something that I would like to expand on when the time
\nis ripe for it.<\/p>\n
Why Glass Cage?<\/p>\n
I am not really sure, its about being restrained by something you can’t see
\nbut is most definetly there. We all place restrictions on our hopes, and we
\nare often scared to step outside the bounds and see what we can realy do.Is
\nthis pretentious or what.Whoops! Do you play live? I play live with a band
\ncalled Elephant shelf.They are a Blues Rock & Jazz flavoured outfit all
\naround london.Over the past 3 years we have done just under 450 gigs, so it
\nkeeps me busy, but I am still thinking of a way to get the Cage on the Road
\nsomehow.We also had a caberet venue called “The Bordello” in Stoke Newington
\nwhich ran for about 6 months<\/p>\n
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?<\/p>\n
It opens exposure up to everyone, they can make up there own minds about what
\nthey want to listen too, it’s very democratic. Its great to have control over
\nthe music we make and to be able to let people hear it. Would you sign a record
\ncontract with a major label? I wish, dream on, someone please keep me in the
\nstyle that I am not acustomed to !I will be re-releasing some material on
\ncd later in the year, I just need to sort out better artwork. Band History:
\nAlmost a band so many times, but now back to being a solo artist with a virtual
\nband. I am looking to put together a live outfit that will play under the
\nname Diana Stone’s Glass Cage as I have musicians that I can borrow occasionally
\nfor this when they are not too busy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
