DON'T STOP CARING various artists

Before The Minimal Time

Bleeper

Reworked mix for the Overland album (https://ffm.to/overland)
and here's a lyric video: https://youtu.be/Bq5LZAaUcb8

This is a 2012 recording of a 1993 track - very early composition which proved pivotal the musical direction I would take. This track is a frequent revisit and I have recorded a later version, but the 2012 version is the rockiest of them all.

Retreated, remixed, remastered it almost sounds as new. Refurbished, if you will. All in 2021 for the release of the Overland album.
The earlier version of this track was already on my profile, but this one has now taken it's place.

lyrics:

fall ye through a wall of brick, could ye be such a heretic
yeah I know in your head you're sick but must ye be such a lunatic
so you say yes I am a freak as I kiss on your skin so bleak
let me dance upon your fire, let me feel your black and dire
and you say you are turning cold - let me see all your cards unfold
show me paths and then I could, don't lose grip now if I would be...

screaming in the haze... feeling little daze...
trapped in a maze... thrown away my face...

jump in front of the three eyed shadow of the night
maybe sing standing in the midst of the wailing tracks of never missed
there you were upon my fire over waves of desire
he told me so - a won't you try her - and I thought he was a liar!
I rather sing instead of talk,
I rather dance instead of walk
gimme gimme till I overflow
rather be high instead of low

screaming in the haze... feeling little daze...
trapped in a maze... thrown away my face...

you think I don't know you... don't I know you?

Thrown Away My Face (2021 remix)

This was made on the occasion of being unexpectedly called back to full time work after some years of delicious semi-retirement.

Many bands are beginning to have gigs , and venues have come back to life again in my town. That's what we have been waiting for !
We realize how precious sharing music is ! through COVID-19 pandemic. 
I recorded this one-man band song in spare moments from gigs of my band. Playing with my band gives me many inspirations for composing.

As there is Science Fiction, there is also Music Fiction and I wanted to pay homage to the excellent Science Fiction cartoonists and especially to the one who inspired me the most: Philippe Druillet
Superb science-fiction comic book with Philippe Druillet who has a fantastic, delirious, violent drawing, but which shows us the permanent violence since the night of times!
Men have always been "ugly" but the difference is that the Earth before was undeniably more beautiful. Thank you for listening!

Music Fiction 2

A completely over the top musical statement of the fact that I have  published a science fiction novel. As played by imaginary aliens on a festival planet... in the metaverse.

Versality, by Rollo Carpenter... aka @muterial

See https://versality.com

It's kind of idealistic, but in detail is also fairly tongue in cheek!

The metaverse runs throughout, and music features, in song and Synthopia.

Lots of bots... and of course, this interstellarship!

Systeme Biotic-Spiritus [Dark Nature Concept]

The title track — a reflection on the entire story. Lush synth layers, heartfelt guitar solos, and steady beats create a romantic yet bittersweet atmosphere. It’s the sound of memories that will never fade. Keywords: synthwave, romantic, retrowave, nostalgic, cinematic, neon lights.

Break My Reality

Don't take sides and I'll respect you for it; take sides and I'll treat you with the same contempt I treat anyone with a mob mentality, because mob mentality invariantly betrays an underlying intolerant right-wing mentality!

#SUPPORT gathers #MOMENTUM when #RECIPROCATED!
>
My tunes are ten times better than you might imagine!
>
A lack of listens proves nothing, other than the fact that no one is finding your tunes; it does not prove, as some believe, that your tunes must be crap, so don’t ever take such a ridiculous notion on board—on an internet FLOODED with music no listens rarely has anything to do with the quality of your music, your creative talent, is almost always down to the fact that the right audience can’t find your music, because finding it is now as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
>
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVERYTHING FOR SOMEONE!
>
For diversity and consistency, I am not hesitant in saying my Soundcloud pages house the most inventive creations on here. There are others making fabulous tunes, but no one is more prolific while maintaining a high standard of pole to pole invention, and that applies to the lyrics too. I won't escape obscurity and oblivion, but that proves nothing, the internet is way, way, WAY overcrowded with unsigned music, way too much mediocre stuff, which obscure anything exceptional out there; the wood hidden away behind lots and lots and LOTS of trees, and no one has the time to look for needles in haystacks, to find a diamond in the rough, it's just way too big a task, not humanely possible!

INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, DIVERSE MUSIC, INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, IMAGINATIVE LYRICS, but those are the last things the vast majority of listeners are looking for these days!
>
Me, I'm awestruck by musicians who can't be pigeonholed, who don't conform to any borders, who don't think about which direction each new creation will take, they just go wherever that creativity takes them; pure, on the fly, innovation, imperfect but 100% authentic, as far a way from manufactured, recipe book, regurgitation, as it is possible to get, totally unforced, inspirational and way, way, WAY outside the box! There ought to be a place for such creativity, there was at one time, but a mercenary music industry put an end to that, leaving us with a situation where those who deserve the most adoration for the talents receive the least!
>
Will this ever change, will a yearning for TRUE underground, creativity unique to the individual, ever return, or has the spoon-feeding gone to far this time, is its grip so vicelike nothing can break it!
>
I make #INVISIBLE music, perhaps it feels that way to you too!
#Overlooked, #Underrated, Dismissed Without A Listen!
>
When Soundclouders follow me or click like without leaving feedback, what is it they are hoping for? That I come listen to their tunes and heap praise on them, what? I mean really, what is the point of following someone, what is the point of liking one of their tunes, if you don't actual think they are deserving of feedback, if you don't think the tunes are as good as what you do???

EXPLODING THE MYTH THAT UNSIGNED IS UNSIGNED BECAUSE IT’S INFERIOR TO SIGNED MUSIC!

>
UNTIL this MYTH is blown out of the water we don’t have a cat in hells chance of breaking through. #TheMyth  is the BIGGEST obstacle that stands in our way, it is the FIRST hurdle we must get over, it is the message that should be going #VIRAL, it’s down to each & every one of you to make that happen!
>
#ExplodeTheMyth
>
Listening to just one of my tunes tells you nothing about my creative approach, listening to ten of my tunes will still tell you very little, listen to a hundred of my tunes and the penny will start to drop, but it's only after hearing 500+ of my creations and collaborations that your eyes will widen in amazement! 
However, if you don't have unlimited eclectic taste none of that applies, and the reality is, who, in this world, is going to listen to every tune I've created, no one--if even one tune is heard from beginning to end it's a minor miracle, because sadly, there is a belief that unsigned means inferior, but I've heard enough tunes by the rest of you guys to know that's a myth, that's bullshit, we create some of the most inventive, authentic, imaginative tunes out there!
Give me unsigned, independent and underground music over signed, safe, predictable, recipe book, music any day of the week!
>
I MAKE TUNES NO ONE WILL EVER LISTEN TO!
>
Some musicians & music fans don’t want to hear music from the past because they would have to acknowledge IT’S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE!
>
Finally come to terms with the fact that I'm PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and even I have to FORCE myself to listen!!!
>
My music and lyrics are all about different, but if no one listens no one will EVER know! 
#StevenVellou

I CREATE TUNES ON THE FLY; NO FORMULA, NO PLAN, NO DIRECTION; THEY JUST HAPPEN--I'M IGNORANT OF THE RULES INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SO I'M NOT BOXED IN BY THEM, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE SO VARIED AND UNPREDICTABLE!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meaningful yet tongue-in-cheek tunes that can’t be #PIGEONHOLED!
Great production ISN'T my forte, accomplished musicianship ISN'T my forte but #UndergroundInvention, #InfiniteDimensions & LYRICS are!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now I don't personally believe I'm in the same league as #Bowie, other than my lyrics, more often than not, making more sense, but I do think I share his ability to adapt to different genres, and his endless, diverse, creativity, just not quite on the same level.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm not proficient/accomplished on instruments, & I have other musical limitations, but most genres come natural to me, and I much prefer having that unforced ability to being highly accomplished on instruments, highly polished on production, or having the perfect voice!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If I didn't feel I had my own approach, if my music was easy to pigeonhole, I would have quit music a long time ago!
Never been about fame & fortune, just about pushing the boundaries without actually intending to push the boundaries; creativity that's second nature not formula! 
Yes, I want to reach an audience but making money from my music means nothing to me!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOT saying I’m THE MOST #talented musician on music promotion sites but I will say I’m one of the most #UNDERRATED! Even so, I would much rather be underrated than overrated!
