Cumsleg Borenail turns Bipolar into Art.
What were your beginnings like?
Born and bred in the gorgeous Calne, England, West end boy
brought up just off Sarum Way not Salisbury, SN11 0EZ. Fairly simple
upbringing with two elder sisters Cathy and Beth so learned pretty
quickly that the toilet seat must be up during the act and down on
completion, anti bac wipes at the ready to mop up any drops. Attended
Priestley Primary for the worldly learning, my teens was part of the
Wassup Crew, y'know basic town centre arcade hangout, avant graffiti
with the additional tagging all the stations to Chippenham then off to
Penn Wood for a smoke. Bust my Sony boom box at the bus stop outside St
Mary's, lol for those in the know Mrs Kirk! Music was second nature
after mastering the hip hop structure and technique.
What inspires you?
No one can ask to be inspired by anything more than the
passing of a mundane day in full time employment at the retirement
centre where you can paint across a fresh canvas with Reubens oil
pastels or chuck together a full piece of music because there really
isn't anything other than the passing of the day. A hopeful nostalgia
keeps tomorrow from arriving too soon. I was taken aback by this year's
Calne Spring Sing so maybe life really is not that bad with all the
togetherness through song.
Why do you make music?
I have very little choice, if a few days pass without
creating anything I get into a real rut of a mood and to drag myself out
of it takes days so I would rather create something as a small gesture
to the self rather than medicate. It is probably the bi polar talking. I
tend to take up song long walks along the Chernhill White Horse walk
and the music just comes to be in angelic tones betwixt the clouds as I
take in the meadows and vast landscape, then it's Nokia out and press
record to hum or chant the bare bones song structure. Back to the studio
to lay down the basic track in pro tools.
What's the album or track of yours you're most proud of, and why?
All aspects of my music hold court in my heart, I could never pick just one.
What are your nearest plans?
More music, more short films then perhaps a blockbuster!
What would you like to say to the world?
Anything you Believe is true, even if it Removes the meat off another.
What is your favorite drink?
Anything smooth containing fruit, we must keep our health up to par.
