A Mac attack!

Looking forward to hearing the interview--I find Mac and his work quite interesting.

[Mac of BIOnighT]

Thanks (blushing) - I hope it won't bore you to tears ;-)

[windspace]

Looking forward to listening to this tonight!

[Mac of BIOnighT]

Thanks Windspace

Just finished listening to the show. Great job as usual S1gns, some rather fine music and a terrific interview with (as he shall be known henceforth) the one and only Mac Of BIOnight. It's great to see how someone can be so passionate and serious about what they do, but manage to keep a healthy sense of humour - a rare combination indeed. Sound advice about keeping the creative process pure, too - it is something very special, almost mystical, and it should be treated with respect.

[Mac of BIOnighT]

:o Thanks - I don't even know what to say...


(by the way, your track on the show is great - I was expecting some techno, though ;-) )

...(by the way, your track on the show is great - I was expecting some techno, though ;-) )...

Thanks Mac - you'll have to wait for the album to hear some TE techno ;) . 'Antithesis' is one of the finished tracks from the album, but I made an ambient remix exclusively for the podcast, so it may never be heard again...:(

Great podcast. Loved all the music! And the interview was terrific. Thanks Mac, for sharing your insights and your soul with us

[Mac of BIOnighT]

Thank you for listening, thus giving me the chance to share, Windspace

Very entertaining podcast guys.

Know what you mean about living by a lake Mac, I've always lived by the sea and feel almost claustrophobic if I spend too long inland.

Know what you mean about living by a lake Mac, I've always lived by the sea and feel almost claustrophobic if I spend too long inland.

Right - it must be some primeval instinct or something... I once went to a region with no mountains and no lakes, I looked around and all I could see was this flat land extending everywhere, and I swear that during the day I repeatedly went through a few seconds of an almost panicky feeling.

[AmoebiKathedral]

listening now! i've been loving these vasts since i first started hearing them

[AmoebiKathedral]

It was great!
While I try not to play favorites, this was the best interview I heard so far. I mean, the music too was so incredible, but the interview I could identify with very well. Especially, "I know what it's like to lose the ability to use an arm". Also, I was on prescription poisons for 'conditions' I did not have, while what was going on with me was left completely untreated. Really gross stuff. I 'came back', too. Just in a different way than described here. I also wonder sometimes if I'm boring ppl when I talk about it because it is an hours long struggle to describe, and I think to myself it gets so epic and extravagant sounding that people write it off as embellishment.
Again, very great..

[Mac of BIOnighT]

Amoebi, thank you so much, I'm truly happy I managed to touch your soul in some way. When you posted your photo on the other thread, at first I thought it was costume+photoshop, then I realized it was probably real (and it looks extremely cool, by the way). Was that the consequence of something left untreated or is it unrelated?
I will not have time to reply in detail and I'm horribly behind on my email as it is already, but if you don't mind a short and late reply, I would like to know your story (email or vocal file), if you feel like telling it [email protected]
