‘Laura’ is a song inspired by another song I wrote as a Jim Morrison obsessed teenager about his school friend, Laura, with whom I walked home from school. Entitled ‘Ship in the Night’, the original song has Laura cast as Thor’s mistress as she battles overcome the heartache and misery she is suffering. ‘Laura’ is me wondering, years later, whether she was ever able to escape the “dark angels” that hounded her during her salad days and find the happiness and love she craved.

‘Laura’ is backed with ‘Sunny Apocalypse’, a quirky reflection on the early part of the Covid pandemic in the form of a disaster movie dream in which Burton and co-star Holliday Grainger find themselves dodging ‘giant globs of Covid raining from the sky’.

Laura

Laura by RockCounsellor

Misty By Sucole & 6qsax

This track is about love loss, waiting for someone. I watched The Story of Betty Broderick and wrote 20 verses, I had my own story too in it. 

My songs are described by BBC as Alternative Future. 
So I'll take that on board and go crazy with my recordings now and then. 

Lovely process recording at bookmatch studio with Tim Bond. 

It has been suggested by Ditto that I now enter this song into the worldwide charts. 

Beautiful artwork by George Jones see him and full paintings on Facebook. 

Broken Beyond Repair

🇫🇷 Jesus Beluga, un album d’une heure de musique mêlant musique électronique expérimentale et un rock puissant à la limite du rock progressif. Les sonorités captivantes de la guitare, synthétiseur, de la mandoline, des percussions et même du violon s’entrelacent avec des éléments numériques. Un concept original en mêlant harmonieusement l’organique et le technologique. En plus des nouvelles compositions, il intègre des poèmes générés par Chat GPT, un modèle d’intelligence artificielle, qui sont ensuite récités par un logiciel de synthèse vocale. 

Cette fusion entre la créativité humaine et l’IA crée une atmosphère unique et invite à une réflexion profonde sur les thèmes de la spiritualité, de la technologie et de la relation avec l’IA. L’album explore de manière audacieuse les possibilités et les limites de cette interaction, offrant une expérience sonore et conceptuelle fascinante. 

De cet album, est né un concept de nouvelle religion mélant le sacré et la technologie de l’IA. J’ai aussi écrit un livre de 36 pages avec Chat GPT qui donne les grandes lignes de la religion belugianne.
Chat GPT a aussi inventé une langue originale pour les adeptes du «belugianisme».

🇬🇧 Jesus Beluga, a one-hour album of music blending experimental electronic music with powerful rock on the edge of progressive rock. The captivating sounds of guitar, synthesizer, mandolin, percussion, and even violin intertwine with digital elements. It's an original concept that harmoniously combines the organic and the technological. In addition to the new compositions, it incorporates poems generated by Chat GPT, an artificial intelligence model, which are then recited by a text-to-speech software.

This fusion of human creativity and AI creates a unique atmosphere and invites deep reflection on the themes of spirituality, technology, and the relationship with AI. The album boldly explores the possibilities and limits of this interaction, offering a fascinating sonic and conceptual experience.

From this album, a concept of a new religion emerged, combining the sacred and AI technology. I have also written a 36-page book with Chat GPT outlining the main principles of the Belugian religion. Chat GPT has also invented an original language for the followers of "Belugianism."

02 LITTLE SMILE

I’ve always loved the Sparks, still do

Historical 

They gathered along the Sea of Galilee 
Not too many not too few
They have left their past thrown away the key
What the future would bring they had no clue
They didn’t know what the future would bring
Just mothers from down south
Thousands years later 
Some men gathered again 
Didn’t know what to do
They have left their past thrown away the key
What the future would bring they had no clue
They lit up a fire just to dance and sing
And to get something in their mouth
