Song writer, Production, Dog owner....Mixing and mastering upon request.

Making music in my bedroom with guitars, MPCs, plugins, and cheap synths. Big fan of quartal harmony and Stratocasters.

From the live houses of the Jing to busking in tunnels (Granted, the 33.3% donation rate was based on the fact that he had removed his stifling white collar shirt and was dancing bare chested) in Singapore, Psychedelic Revolution (aka Psyche Rev) is a one man project that likes most things such as alt r&b and alt rock. Made it as a semi finalist in 'Song of the Year' competition in 2022 with his song 'Cassius.' Finalist in 2023 with 'We'll Go Down.' Finalist in 2024 with 'Sigh' and also taking semi finalist positions with 'Heartbeats & Inner Turmoil' and 'You Had Me'. Finalist in 2025 with 'Cold Cold Storm' and semi finalist with 'So Typical.' Tastes like Kung Pao Chicken. Looks like a cross between Brag Pitt and Heath Leather. Smells like team spirit. Feels like baby powder. Oh the music. Yeah, it sounds good. 


Don't respond to DM's on here so if you would like to get touched pls contact  via some other avenue. He does have a sun fetish though.

Daily Musing:

Nov: Funk
Dec: a cover. Demo version. But I will do a full length cover for once.
 I've been thinking that I want to do a 'How to Train Your Dragon' theme. I've really only seen the third one and the live action version (the recent) but they moved me. Multiple times. I was with my friends and I took off my 3D glasses. Started wiping my eyes. Look to the right and everyone else is just fine.
Which reminds me of when I was in the band in uni and my Indian friend/guitarist started teasing me about crying in Titanic. 
"I was 6! Motherfucker you cried in Lagaan!"
Then he started chasing me around. Cos' that's what guys do when they like each other. 
 Which I guess also says something about how the filmmakers handled No Time to Die. 
So maybe like medieval rnb. Worked for Seal.
Regarding Bharat, he's really the first person who believed in me as a singer so I owe him that much (or quite a lot). It meant and still means a lot to me because i consider him the best guitarist I've heard. I've heard Fripp, Slash, Petrucci, Laiho, and attended a Hendrix tribute with Eric Johnson, Satriani, Vai etc. He only practised 4 hours a day after school by ear. I could do that for the rest of my life and get to 1/5 as good as him.  It began in Florence and there was this kid from Jersey called Alex who was a somewhat decent singer and a good pianist. He was better than me at the time at singing.  I give Bharat an A- as a band leader cos' he was very patient with Rauf, our friend and bassist who barely practised. With me, he was encouraging. So, I think they thought they could fit Alex and me in the band together. I had no problem with that. Now Alex had an interesting take on songwriting which was to bring pop into whatever genre. So if it was rock he liked Spin Doctors. Now, don't get me wrong, I like 'MMMbop' by Hanson every now and then but in a band, playing that type of stuff? No. Bharat and I were on the same page. He liked his metal, hard rock. So, Alex would sing whenever I sung. Or make noises cos' he was the better singer. Zero band etiquette but...I can see where he's coming from. Bharat did nothing about that which is where the A- comes in. So, I got fed up with Alex acting like a child and walked out of rehearsal. My goal was to find the nearest American for inspiration. This was when I was in NY. I ran into a marine near a bar after 30 secs. I said, "Look we're in a band and we wanna play hard rock but there's this kid that keeps singing whenever I sing..."
*inspirational moment right here*
"ah fuck it. what am I saying? I'm gonna go back in there and kick his ass...musically."
"Sounds good man."
"Thanks for serving the country!"
So that was what happened and I walked in there danced and sung. Alex got all red in the face. And, that was the last time we had band practise together. I actually wasn't that confident back then and it was the first time singing for a band. Now, I would say to Bharat,
"hey, can you tell your friend to stfu when I'm singing?"

As far as my middle school 'friends' go, well I'm really a huge fan of that guy one who went through his ex's phone, cried on a date, and then hacked her when she broke up with him. The quote was, "what did I do wrong?" A better question would be "what did I do right?"
And the answer to that question is...nothing. 
"Critics are saying Em's new stuff is as good as his old stuff."
A) music critics are more like lyrical critics. 
B) I'd be satisfied with "music critics are saying ...and I agree."
This quote just shows a lack of ...identity.
"We've been fans of Em since Infinity."
Now, this is like saying I've been a fan of Prince since Purple Rain or a fan of GNR since Appetite. Anyone with half a decent brain would go, "motherfucker you weren't born in the 80's."
And then there was the talking in 3rd person. The ' so and so 2.0.' 
A definite upgrade in the hacking department and a downgrade in the EQ department. 
I'm also really a huge fan of the guy who kicked his ex.
I'm also a huge fan of the guy who got his head shoved down the toilet and claimed 'PTSD.' 
Soldiers who've served in Iraq and Afghanistan: Really? Would he like to go on tour with us?
I think he'd die of super PTSD before the plane takes flight so I can answer for him.
So this guy spends the better half of his 20's accusing his friends of "shoving a lollipop up his ass."
After telling him twice, "I didn't do it" he finally believes it when he the people that did do it tell him. Now, ya see toilet humour is more of Gazza's thing and not mine. In Gazzas' defence, no one shoved a lollipop up his ass. They put it on his ass cheeks. 
So if we slippery slope the guy who's been there since Infinite and the guy who got a lollipop 'shoved up his ass' . Maybe when he reaches 40 he'll tell the truth. By the way, 'alleviate' is an SAT word. Good job. Try using a word that the average mortal uses like 'lessen' instead of trying to impress other people with that thing you call a brain.
 I'm dying to hear a conversation between you two.
"I was here since the dinosaurs." Oh this is the guy who gets offended if you make fun of his ears. I haven't really said the worst thing he's done cos' that would make his ex 'flip out.' Not sure she knows. Well, his lil bro discovered it on his computer and I saw.

"Well you guys decapitated me in grade 8."


Well wasn't it Gazza? btw he dislikes it when you call him this. He dislikes a lot of things really and he really only does things he 'feels like'.  One of my fave things he's shared on wechat before was when he shared "I'm not racist but guys like this give black people a bad name." Which was a fancy way of saying I'm not racist but I actually am. Which is also really rich considering he used to say the N word a lot when he was young. Then, there was the hilariously self aware post him moaning about people who moan on the basketball court. Truly a man's man is Gazza.  See Gazza here sulks and pouts more than any other guy I know. Entire chapters could be dedicated to him sulking. That one time he got poor grades. Those weeks he got his high school gf pregnant. He makes Nicholas Anelka (Le Sulk) look like Roy Keane. 
After thinking for a bit about why he would make fun of my ex for not having any boobs it's cos Gazza here had moobs back in the day and needed to bring someone else down to make his fat self feel better about himself. Don't worry Gazza, when the moobs return when you're older I'll be laughing. 
006: I can't believe you dislike him more than me. 
For your ex James?
No, for me.
Things I like about 006:
-his charisma
-his humour
-his soft side when he admits to crying to 'Spaceship' and 'Hey Mama.' I don't get why he cries in 'Spaceship' but...I can respect that.  Cos' a fair assessment of his English and it's fluent but I don't think he understands 100% of Kanye's lyrics. He gets the chorus for sure. 
What would 006 order at Mcdonald's?
Double cheeseburger or spicy Mchicken. Same order as me. Cos' "Big Mac is too much for him now."
And one of his fave hip hop producers? J-Dilla. I've never heard J-Dilla but I hear Nujabes is Japanese J-Dilla.
Anime he likes: One Punch Man where he searched for it. I watched it cos' of my old job. It is very funny. Though my fave is Samurai Champloo.
Amateur psychoanalysis of 006:
Complex relationships with women cos' his mother was very harsh on him as a kid. Therefore, at a young age he learnt that girls were not 'angels'. Seduction method went from "play to your strengths such as dancing" to more versatile when some Chinese person taught him more modern methods to attract modern Chinese girls. Methods include 'buying them stuff.' Yeah I liked his own method better.
Although 006 had The Joker as his wechat pic for the longest time there are differences. The most important 1 being if 006 was given the choice to either screw 1000 beautiful women or screw 1000 beautiful nations over he'd pick the former. I've met criminals who actually live up to Joker's idealized version of a criminal who doesn't care about money. Case in point being Darren. I do respect him cos' his gang doesn't need the money and does it for the thrill. I sat in on a meeting where it was "let's use chlorafoam on the guard." He's pretty much a modern day Ned Kelly. A fun Hollywood film would involve the 2 of us. Me bulking up and going through some BOPE training only to be tasked with taking down 1 of Australia's criminal masterminds. In typical Hollywood fashion you'd have the protagonist torn between the law and his memories with his childhood friend.  My take on it would be: 
"Congrats on the promotion. We need you to take down Darren."
"Nah."
"Why not?"
"He's always shown me respect in the 2 weeks I've known him"
"You're fired."
"Mmm,kay."
As for why I did what I did. Again, I do like artists wikiquote pages.
Let's find someone with a personality type similar to 006's-
"Revenge is good. I think revenge is healthy too, and if you can use music in that way, a sort of therapeutic way for yourself, it can't do any harm. So if King (For A Day...Fool For A Lifetime) is angry in any way, it's angry in a random, chaotic, healthy way. Like the guy who goes into a building, shoots a bunch of holes in the wall and then leaves. He didn't kill anybody." - Mike Patton
The next one I can tell a joke about and relate to finally.
"Recently, a girl chained herself to me with hand-cuffs after a gig, just because I refused to talk to her. I politely declined, though. I am a well-bred boy. I don't want to be too specific, but... it got pretty ugly."
A few months ago, a second generation Indian girl from the UK who liked my music started sending me pics of owls. She's 16. 
She then asked,
"Do you like owls?"
"I don't like or dislike owls." 
"Do they have owls where you live?"
"Yup but I've never seen one."
She then admitted to liking older men cos' of daddy issues.
After another pic of an owl on another day.
"Stop it. Just stop."
*proceeds to send me a pic of herself in teal lingerie*
"Thank you but this is really inappropriate." 
Admittedly, she got the colour of my fave lingerie right without knowing.  I also didn't know what was going on about that 18 year old WAB student  (how'd you know she was 18? only 18 year olds are allowed outside at lunch) who stared at me for over 15 seconds so I consulted this 16 year old. I didn't know cos' usually the staring thing goes 'we stare for 5-6 seconds' then you look away and I look away. Then we might stare at each other again. Except this person just started making me feel uncomfortable. 
Tho the consulting thing worked and she was right
"how come you like her and not me?"
"well she's legal." (translation: I just don't find you attractive)
A few days later:
"I have no rizz." (For those unaware of gen z and this pretty ugly sounding word that rhymes with jizz-another ugly sounding word, it means pick up skills)
"Alright since you helped me out I'll help you out. See, with guys it's not so much about your 'rizz' as it is about understanding them. I've definitely fallen for girls that I usually don't find that attractive. This one British girl on a company trip in Malaysia who worked on the island noticed me. She had dyed red hair.  It was a company get together and we were playing games and I was making all these sarcastic comments cos' company games are kinda lame. Then, for the quiz this question came up and no one except me knew. So I raised my hand. Then, the British girl said, "The one guy who pretends to not care about this game actually cares a lot."  Which was actually a great reading of me. In that moment, I definitely started liking her. So if you can do that to guys it will be better than your 'rizz'. 

I heard some people wanted to donate some money and pay for my monthly mixing. And, I was very happy about it. I recently came into some money like how Starlight got insurance. The first thing that came into my mind was how I didn't have to take shit from my bosses anymore. You know, they say "不是说人是说事" (I'm critisizing what you did. Not you as a person) And, it's these same people that proceed to critisize you as a person after that. So, I no longer have to take that shit and I couldn't be happier. So, it's an A+ of a year. I'm still temping every Tuesday. Thankfully, the new school seems to be accomodating. What happened at the last school was...an obvious case of "management is restructuring"
Since Starlight might still be feeling semi embarassed about her insurance I got plenty of 'embarassing' moments with her. She was like the first girl I liked who I talked to. So, it was actually outside Gazza's place where I said,
"Happy bday Starlight, here's a cake. Bye." I said it quickly. Understandable yes, but much quicker than how I usually say things. Followed by 2 years later,
"I'm sorry for what i did to you."
"It's OK."
There you have it. My only 2 lines with her. I do have probably over 10k worth of lines with her...on MSN Messenger. Yes, it was a proper 00's romance. 
The song...if you like it it's for you. I don't want to put pressure on anyone by saying it's for anyone.
