DARREN ROCKFORD-MURPHY

Over the last few months sending you guys, my friends' snips of my music taste and sharing my small article has been an experience, one for me especially, I have inadvertently been moved by what I write. What started out as fun, and I hope it still is, has become for me like a personal journal and it was certainly not meant to act as one, but it has indeed become one. I am, after all, a Painter! I think life is about defining and constantly redefining who you are, what makes you tick, what turns you on.


I think the name of the game is indeed is KNOWING, it's being inextricably linked and being aware of yourself, don't play the fool but run with it, the fun is running fast in the fog, top gear!

My last visit to London reinstated a long time belief of mine, that I am indeed on a path of some kind, paved by me or someone a few yards ahead of me who is just out of sight, never the less its there. I think the name of the game is indeed is knowing, it's being inextricably linked and being aware of yourself, don't play the fool but run with it, the fun is running fast in the fog, top gear! Being real, if I might use such a term, is something so simple but uncannily hard for us humans as we are not really apt at it. My art, as abstract as it comes is close to being truthful that I know, but how far, I just don't know, as I do not know, or can see, the edges of the truth. In my small, yes huge, personally created, abstract world, I do indeed, feel that I am in love.

London does indeed tantalize all of me, every edge of my body and it turns on a wild a Rocky, Darren, that exists, he's always existed, its that he needs, desires, lives for that stage, and by God, he loves it. Everyone needs a stage, everyone has a voice but how many do indeed use that beautiful thing God gave you, a voice and a body to carry it with. Don't throw such a beautiful gift, and by the way, it's not yours to throw, it belongs to those who want to hear you, so sing, scream, shout, laugh, tell stories, act, take to one of London's stages and make peoples lives light up!


London does indeed have that, its a stage, I am sure Shakespeare was involved in its creation, and what a beautiful one at that, She has many tiny stages, many entry points, but all lead to the front, right to front where you're just a breath away from the punters who paid a seat to see you perform, and perform I will. Performing is the secret key that makes life worth everything, those mistakes, those wrong turns, they all of a sudden turn into tonal values on a piano, depending on your experience, produces both the background music and shapes the role you're about to throw to the public with deadly precision, all you await is the roar from the public! What defines me is me, that there is no doubt of! there is no manual book, and that should go for everyone, I am indeed unique in every facet of that word, and I keenly keep that alive as it very precious to me, as indeed the reader of this article should feel that they too are unique. Mirrors are placed on a wall to be stood in front of, the question is, what do you see, what do you want to see, what do you think you see, I think in some kind of mish-mash all the images are the same, you just have to grab the one you want
