Room

Written and Recorded in 1998

I could scarcely remember this tune that was rather ‘discovered’ while I was organising a bunch of Mini Discs, which have been left in a plastic bag since I moved out of the ‘room’, where I had lived and made these demos, in mid-2001. There are several reasons why I can’t remember about things happened during the period of the late 1990s and early 2000s; I acknowledge that I had been suffering from mild alcoholism and mental depression, though I have never seen a doctor back then (or even now). This tune was digitally titled as ‘Room (Beautie)’ on the mini-disk. I don’t remember what I supposed to mean in these words but probably, I guess, the latter word in bracket referred to the extended jam section at the end of the track, which I have cut off from this video and issued separately under a title of Dreamin’ #3. In addition, I am also not sure if this recording was conducted under the Soft Core Project scheme or not.

Making of this video coincided with the last days I spent in a room in Cape Town, South Africa. So I took pictures and captured footage of the room while I was living there and picked some of them to be featured in this video. Despite I am not able to remember my original intention, I thought it must be a good opportunity to pay a tribute to a room, where I spent some portion of my lifetime.
