standard

told you so

never forgotten all you know
i predict the words 
i told you so
three little breaths
that i most fear
final mistake before a crisis
focus sharp and clear
follow spot
lime light im in
joke on me wears thread bare thin
lightening seen long before the thunder
try and dismantle this blunder
how can i forget
all you know
every time you say
i told you so




Thanks to Paul and Tom for moral support :-)

told you so-New Dinosaur Extinction

The reason I create music is beyond my ability to explain. But If I try to dig into it, I think that my body and soul, been using music as a healing tool long before I can remember. I assume that my deep connection to music was born way before I was even aware of it. 
Over the years I have experienced life to its extreme, for the good and for the bad. Music has proven itself as a life saver, since it was the only way I could express my inner feelings and communicate with the world. When I finished my 3 years serving in the army, experiencing terrible fights and death, I felt that something got broken inside of me.
Music was there for me, even though I was not aware of the fact that I can actually use it to heal my soul.
In my music you can listen to all types of moods (love and happiness to the other side of pain and struggle. with pop, rock, reggae, electronic, experimental and even psychedelic and classical. 

I move between, instrumental music and song writing.


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.)

Fear No Idea!

A funk maverick from the far left of the leftfield, keytar-wielding activist Steve Cooke blends sharp-witted lyrics with sleazy funk, geeky electronica and spiky new wave.
