As of 1.9.2023 this is now the official project page of Encounter 743.

just passionate, not professional at all, home studio

Hi all, I'm a multi-genre, diversely-themed very prolific hobbyist lyricist who writes virtually with a variety of composer-singers and sometimes solo. Header pics courtesy of Wavebreakmedia and Pvproductions. Also benart75 and Vecteezy.com

All songs are copyrighted by myself, Jay Rich, and various co-writers, 2007-2025.

Please don't 'follow' me if you can't be bothered listening to any of my songs. It's no kind of compliment and you will be BLOCKED, as will all scammy pitchers.

Music is an international language and it's such fun to learn new perspectives on that way... Thank you all for listening and taking part in all these moments 🙏🎶♥️

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

Eric - Bagpipe Sounds

singer-songwriter/guitarist /composer/arranger. I do everything about making songs by myself.  Basically my music consists of acoustic guitar playing and vocals, but now I’m trying to make it sounds  more catchy and enjoyable for today’s listeners. And I’d like to say that listening to the music on SoundCloud always give me such inspiration and motivation. I do love and respect your great works!
Wish you all good health and safety from my heart🕊️💛 And thank you so much for your listenings and support, always🙏✨✨✨

I'll follow you back when I can.

Musics, dooms, whatvers. =j

"I'm plays all the instruments and screams."

Your basic, dopy guitarist, I've been playing all my life. Released 1st album, recorded in 2010, half-ass released and haphazardly introduced on fazebuuk and twigger in 2013.  It was a disaster.  Another.  See link for archived bannedcamp squat "splat - off the windscreen" below.  Eco-friendly "bamboo" 15gb USB also available at bandcamp.  I know.  "Laaame."  Again, link below.  I plays all instruments, sings, do my own recordings and productions, but I use outside helps with masterings.  I thinks I likes Sage Audio.  Anyway...


Playing live regularly isn't really feasible for me at this point in time, but I still love making musics. Leveraging pt8 & w^vista installed on a rusty boat anchor, Tapatíos, pet hairs, superglues and duct tapes, I'm working on a 2nd album. But, I need fund for copyrights, publishings and "all that jazz."  So buy somethings if you can.  Limited quantity. Rare. Unique.  Maybe a "splat - off the windscreen"  15gb bamboo (66% less ecocides) USB with album art.  Great for sampls, other musics, pictures or works... just don't use it for espionages.  ;)  (coming soon to a Bannedcamps near EU) Or just slip me a tips through paypals. 

My album is also available for download (I think) at CD Baby (seedy-baby to me) but, honestly, I have trouble with CD Baby and Bandcamp due to the multiple sign-ins and various accounts required.  I just get fed up and say "aw forget it." But the people at CD Baby are super nice and try really hard to help. I tell them "no, it's me. really."  I'm hopeless. =D


I appreciate you listening and checking out my soundsclouds. Very much. Thank you!!


Laugh, even if through the tears.


Collaborations warmly welcome.


I am a goof. =j

I love to hear from people  =j
