Tone circuit - they rely on each other to touch communication circuit noise. For such a pioneer in improvised music, people, strange ideas may further educating the spirit of improvisation is closely linked with its own, it might lead to more interesting events; dagger Lucas had an appointment with a show organizer, by phone do a show. But when he drove find coffee point after treatment but found the phone has been out of service, and his tires and trapped him in unrighteousness. Lucas drove a flat tire when the car ran ten kilometers of parents turn to when his father refused to lend again inexplicable reason the phone - perhaps his father was right, in order to protect family property - and then went to the nearest phone booth Lucas, toward phone venue Sydney Cafe De Lane screaming for 20 minutes. A group of people swarmed, surprise, funny and difficult to understand, they came and asked, "Ah you in the end doing? And Lucas handed the phone to them, and sped away, leaving these people
Car, and later when he found the wipers can send him heard 'best voice "it is actually a sharp treble eleven eleven then later he started the record company, publishing the first album was released in the name of A IKombi' Story Music under .Drive-by "(1994), more and more recent thing is, Lucas will be before Christmas, as a tourist to Beijing, of course, bring his infamous pile of strange equipment, abundance river boat, the ancestral DoTL, Wang Fan, Zhu Zhenzhong do these Chinese musicians together on the same stage.

Another universe ruled by the sound, where he was able to exist in a universe in harmony with the bright hope of finding Lucas individual phantom sound internal oracle-like vibration, in order to help him into a higher awareness of the world all-around and reach the intangible of the realm. 'This is amazing, I do not know that he is an expert, or heroes.
