26FEB2015: Replaced file with a slightly quieter mix that fits in better with the majority of SoundCloud tracks. Thanks, AJ!

10FEB2015:
A mix that AJ and I are both happy with! Yay! I've been wanting to share this for a while...

Got a chance to remix In The Groves by AJ Evans and Group Of Deviants. This track is a combination of what I came up with plus AJ's mixing and production.

A little something different!

Lyrics:

Do you know the way to the grove?

In your life there is a story
Waiting to be read by those who can read
In your time there is a glory
Waiting to be felt by those who can feel

Do you still feel?
Can you feel at all?

Do you know your way to the grove?

Look inside, now
It's alright now
You've been through worse than this before
Look inside, now
Don't run and hide, now
Don't you go and close any doors

Many doors, many doors, many doors

In my mind there's still a story
Waiting to be completed by me and you
In my time, I've felt the glory
The seeds were planted in everything that we'd do

Do you know the way to the grove?
Do you know your way in the grove?
Do you know your way through the grove?

Look inside, now
It's alright now
You've been through worse than this before
Look inside, now
Don't run and hide, now
Don't you go and close any doors, any doors, any doors

Many doors, many doors, many doors, many doors

Many doors, many doors in the groves

There is a story....

28FEB2019: Polishing up a track from 2015.

02MAR2019: Pretty happy with this version...

Cool Drink On A Summer Day
words & music by Dave Read

lyrics:

This is a story about a time when the world was new
Work hadn’t been invented and there was nothing to do
We come upon a man - maybe a boy - with ambition in his bones
He’s thinking up something special: gonna polish some stones

So long, so long, the day is gone
So gone, so gone, the thought is done

I’ve got a dollar in an old suitcase
I’m gonna drive my car all over the place
I’ll burn that fossil fuel until it’s all gone
I’ll write by candlelight to finish my song

I know I’ll find you
I know I’ll find you
It’s all behind you now

The stars twinkle while they’re hanging in space
The nights are lonely, the days hard to face
I feel I’m running by myself in a race to nowhere

So long, so long, the day is done
So gone, so gone, now there is none
So long, so long, so long
I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone

The Impending...

lyrics:

"Do you hear that?..."

There’s a feeling things are changing 
And it’s coming ‘round the bend 
It’s a signal something’s coming to an end

And the sky it starts to darken 
And the wind begins to blow 
There’s no reason for the season to be so

When your world’s about to shatter 
And the pieces come undone 
There’s an urgency to leave before the battle has begun

There’s a moment in the madness 
When the questions all resolve 
And you focus on the only thing involved

Something wicked this way comes 
Something wicked this way comes

It’s The Impending… 
It’s The Impending… 
It’s The Impending…

There's something strange with every change
the familiar gets rearranged

The thing we fear is something we can’t see:
The “what-is-not-but-is-about-to-be”

Something wicked this way comes 
Something wicked this way comes

It’s The Impending…

"Here it comes!…"

In the distance trees are trembling 
And the sky is dark with dust 
And your guests have all departed in disgust

Like a stinging accusation
 Like a sudden realization
 Like the handcuffs closing firmly on your wrists

Something wicked this way comes 
Something wicked this way comes

It’s The Impending… 
It’s The Impending… 
It’s The Impending…

It’s The Impending…

AJ Evans has been a number of things throughout the years, but with all of them he has always been an artist. Through many adversities that he attributes to 'having to pay my dues with the whole suffering of the artist thing', he has maintained a history of releasing popular music directly to the public via the Internet as far back as 1995 when he decided his art was to be heard, even if it meant bypassing labels and just putting it out there for the world to enjoy. This, in turn, got him worldwide exposure and being requested to sign release forms so his music could be played on the radio in several European countries.

AJ Evans and John Phetteplace have been writing songs and playing music together and solo since 1989. Their first band, Blue Vision, was considered one of the most marketable acts amongst the unknown bands in Philly once there studio demo tapes were stolen and made public.

Evans conceived Group of Deviants following the success of his CD "I May Be a Stoner (But, I Ain't Fucking Stupid!)' Maxi-Disc featuring Anthony Kremski (who billed himself as Shaggs). Evans knew there would be more work with Anthony and other people and created the Group of Deviants umbrella to cover any collaborative work so no one was guest appearing on an AJ Evans track.

Group of Deviants has been an increasing popular brand of music due to very savvy p.r. on behalf of Evans and very popular graphic artwork that adorns their releases which have consistently provided their audiences with top-notched produced music from across the genres.

The latest in the p.r. campaign to get Group of Deviants to an even wider audience is a series of remix contests. They now have DJ's in the Ukraine, Canada and NYC exposed, remixing and finding rotation for Group of Deviants music.

We have just spoken with Exit 39 Productions, NYC about management which consists of an outlet that will carry our CD's and Vinyl release. It is a very successful major clothing chain that caters to a trendy crowd but, more details once it is cement.

Group of Deviants has continued to work through some major adversities and has continued to provide some of the best music for their genres and we are hoping to spread our brand of music our this summer to fill the hearts and imaginations of the people on the dance floors.

With AJ Evans serving as producer, audio engineer, graphic artist, owner and manager of SINaMANIAC Music Releases, a label created to protect his music, lyricist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, video producer and editing and John's talents as songwriter, guitarist, bassist, video production and make-up artist, Group of Deviants is a self contained powerhouse of full production talent, we just need the help to keep the dream alive and reach a larger audience.

Updated 17MAR2019:
An old man reliving the joys of his youth, when he was blazing trails into analog synthesis at the the Boston School of Electronic Music in the 70's - currently using Propellerheads' Reason V10 with various Rack Extensions and VSTis... 

A variety of tracks in various states of completion...

Some songs , some instrumentals, some loops or soundtrack-appropriate tunes, in a variety of "styles".

All are original compositions. All music and lyrics by Dave Read, except where noted.



Check out @BSEM for tracks made by me and others at the Boston School of Electronic Music during the 70's.

Also check out @ameebadood for tracks by me and Judy Rochat done in the early 2000's.

And now epiphany algorithm @epiphanyalgorithm : Collaborations between me and Scott Kauffman (Daughters Of Industry, Rent Me, Current Device). (Our previous "band" name "YOINK!" was being used by too many other soundcloud folks.)
