MY BEGINNING

INTRODUCING MYSELF

First off my name is Kyle, I've always been creative and think quite deeply about life and its qualities. I have always written poems and thought philosophically about morals and emotions. I will be writing poetry, photography posts and sharing my ideas on philosophy and music. But instead of me going on too much ill put a short but meaningful poem up that I had written a couple of days ago.

Life the puzzle a coin toss of madness,

A disaster on one side and power on the other,

Both lead to sadness,

Like a worn out lover.

But life isn't this simple,

You think at it and it holds on,

Even your imagination triple,

Doesn't stretch out half as long.

But the guide inside,

Wants you to run and hide,

But wait and accept and be rewarded pride.

I could go on into depth and explain what I mean by this but really the beauty of poetry is that it is only as its perceived by each person, so I would love if you were to have a read on it and tell me what your meanings are.

ROOK T-SHIRT BLOWIN BUBBLES

*Photography by Krystel Couture

Rook T-Shirt, ASOS - £11

Snap Back, eBay - £25

Nike Pants, JD Sports - £35

Back in January I was browsing on ASOS to get myself some new gear and came across Rook. Their Tee designs are very unique and they have a wide range of different styles and colours and this is one of the prints I got along with four others that I will show in later posts. The fabric is very comfy made from 100% Cotton and fits perfectly not too baggy or tight. The illustrated print does not fade too easily which is good it keeps its colour and texture nice so really worth the price. I find most T-Shirts I have fade pretty easily due to wear and tear and constant washing so this is a good point I like about this brand. I will be getting more of these in the future as for the price you can't complain :)

What do you guys think of these T-Shirts ?

UNGROUNDING

Climbing a never ending rope,

Squirming in shock and fatigue,

No perceivable ledge to grope,

Reality out of my league.

Hands blistered beyond repair,

Flesh as dry as sand,

There appears to be a burden of despair,

beyond which i understand.

The peak is visible to my seasoned eyes,

Motivation plays its part,

A makeshift labyrinth of intricate lies,

A swift beat fills my heart.

I grab a ledge and feel ripe with content,

solid ground brings light and hope,

I am greeted by nothing but dry cement,

and whats this? another rope...

This is another poem I have written about a man that can not 
ground himself in life, and is on a path too destruction.

Thank you for reading :)

POWER OVER INSTINCT

Life the puzzle a coin toss of madness,

A disaster on one side and power on the other,

Both lead to sadness,

Like a worn out lover.

But life isn't this simple,

You think at it and it holds on,

Even your imagination triple,

Doesn't stretch out half as long.

But the guide inside,

Wants you to run and hide,

But wait and accept and be rewarded pride.

Inside this poem is the suggestion that we live as part of something larger than us, rather than the external being solely your experience. And about having courage and controlling a situation and seeking reward.

What are your thoughts on this piece?

PHOTOGRAPHY

Okay first of all I will introduce myself and show you the equipment I use and how I use it. Two years ago me and my partner decided we were going to buy a professional camera, we both had Lumix digital cameras before and I used to also film short skits or story's with it:

But wanted to do more professional and macro photography so when we got it  I was on and off going out for walks to take photos of landscape, insects, animals and plant-life photography. I have stopped for a while since getting into beatbox and focusing my creativity on that for the time being but I' am however going to get out more and start doing photography again and editing. Below is a list and google photos of the equipment we own

INTRODUCING IONIX

This first post is just a small introduction

I' am Kyle, a 22 year old student. I currently Beatbox in my free time and find it fills my creative appetite. I' am also a freelance photographer and enjoy capturing the moment and getting high detailed images when possible. I currently study HND sound production and also enjoy sound engineering. My beatbox videos are mostly posted on my youtube channel Ionix and general beatbox tracks on soundcloud. This blog will be a mixture of photography, beatbox and general lifestyle motives such as philosophy and knowledge. 

My current setup for beatboxing:

Meridian RBA8I Portable PA

    

Audix Fireball V

        

                                   Rode M3 Condenser Microphone

                                Boss VE-20: Vocal Performer

These images are just from Google but I will be posting actual photos of my equipment in the future and will explain what each item is capable of. If you are interested in purchasing equipment like this I will also include helpful links to buy these items and general information on each item and how they work. I will also include the best features of each item and an in-depth review.
