The time of our life 

And if I leave this world behind I know you will always be there
Sometimes it hard to know why lm all alone
With time marching on
The signs are showing
I need to make you see that there is more to this
Then we can see
The time of our life

The time of our life

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

* Based in Nottingham, England * An accompaniment to your dreams * All songs free to download * Music maker * Video maker * Although I set out for my music to be heard by everybody it's actually quite freeing to be unknown. Like I have a secret that only very few really know about * But I'm sharing in the hope it does reach more still * Painting out my soul through sound * No AI or voice correcting technology * Best of work highlighted here * Other accounts J R Watkins and J R Watkins II linked underneath * Search 'Beautiful Zero' on YouTube for videos and other highlighted work * Best blasted out of decent speakers * INFP 4w5 459 * Beautiful Zero is J R Watkins, all instruments and production * The dream remains * Each song resembles a part of me that I felt I needed to express at that particular point in life * So I like to feel each song has it's own soul * I first started recording at the age of 18 in 1998 * I was in a band with my brother and two best friends (The Haze/Dirty Kanvus) * We went on to support Ocean Colour Scene for a few dates in the late 2000's * OCS being a band I loved even before I knew I could play an instrument * Home recording has always been my preference as I am free to express myself exactly how I wish without compromise * I always wanted to write my own 'White Album - The Beatles' * I may not have done that but I hope you enjoy and feel the love I've put into my work that I'm sharing * Peace, love and the stars above.
