The illusion of change, but underneath everything remains the same.

If any of you out there are experiencing a form of cognitive dissonance during the changeover period from one British Monarch to another, this is because deep down you too have come to the above realisation.

Beneath all the pomp and ceremony, although we will see a change of personnel (so to speak) from Elizabeth II to Charles III, inherently nothing will actually change, as all the underlying institutions - the "Establishment" - will remain exactly the same, and in many respects it is almost irrelevant who is sitting on the throne, so long as *somebody* fills that seat - Continuity At All Costs is ultimately what really matters.

In fact all the pomp and ceremony's real purpose is to make it explicitly clear that nothing has really changed at all.

Keep Calm And Carry On...

And that right there is what my new track is all about, and it is also why the whole form of the track is not only funereally slow, but very deliberately, hypnotically repetitive to emphasise that actually we are all in an unchanging loop.

In this instance, a more 'robotic', electronic sound was also very useful, as that too infers just how artificial these institutions really are.

Yes, I am well aware of another song by a certain well known Mancunian, but given just how far their politics seem to have veered away from when they wrote their track, it felt like a good time to fill that (head)space with something new (and timely), but in a similar intended spirit!

There appear to be several 3DMs here on Soundcloud now, so I have to point out...

      ***************************
      *I AM THE ORIGINAL 3DM!*
      ***************************

I've been using that artist name *for at least 20 years*, and that's all I'll say on the matter.

DELIBERATELY DIFF'RENT DANCE MUSIC: a moniker and a manifesto since day one and still continues to be so. 

Not only do I sit outside of genres I strive to actively create new ones all the time - and then move on!
;-)

Just a quick message to all my new followers - THANK YOU! :-D

I can't always reply individually, but your support is **absolutely respected and appreciated**, so please keep hitting the 'Follow' button when you can!

Respect One and All,


Marc (aka 3DM)

ABOUT ME...

I chose the name 3DM because it gives me the freedom not to conform to any specific styles or genres as well as room to experiment and try out new and different ideas. Of course as with all experiments some are better than others, but hopefully you'll like most of them!

As such it's my 'mission' to never just become entrenched in one genre, as electronic and electro acoustic music offer unlimited possibilities, so why tie yourself down?

At this stage I should point out I am available for production, remixing and remastering work!

Don't be offended if I don't reply/chat to all of you, as I'm busy living my life outside of "Cyberland" too, although that doesn't mean I'm not paying attention!
;-)
