All our collaborations have been removed from AudioBake's page, but that's not my style, I don't hold back with words, but I'm not going to play silly buggers, so they will not be removed from this account.

Cool tune, Steve! Great @ every position!

My Christian values are in tact!! Stop being so divisive!

I dig a lot of your tunes... I don’t agree with him or the trash talk...

Relatable. Great lyrics. I really dig your music man.

Don't take sides when there is a dispute between musicians 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!

Incredible track and a wonderful collab, wonderful singing

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC (ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS)

This one was composed a long time ago. I kept re-recording the guitar parts until I came across a patch on my Boss SY-300 synth pedal.

Fleeting Moments

thinking of the story of W.S. Burroughs The Wishing Machine

noxpox - Wishing Machine

Hire me On the Job

These are three songs that I believe belong together. I based them loosely on psalms types—imprecatory, lamentation, and psalm of ascent.

Teeth

Soaring above the world, floating in space, flying through clouds and over the moon on a magic carpet is the context of this composition.

Over the Moon

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE - STEVEN VELLOU (GOTHIC FUNK) & PAN AT THE PARADOX
>
RAINFALL IN MY LIFE, THE SUNSHINE NEVER CAME
I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE BUT THE SACRIFICE WAS IN VAIN 
EVERYTHING THE SAME AS ITʼS ALWAYS BEEN
NOW ALL THAT I HAVE LEFT ARE SOME BROKEN DREAMS

NOW MY DREAMS ARE TORN TO SHREDS 
BECAUSE I DIDNʼT THINK AHEAD
TRAPPED INSIDE A FANTASY
THE YEARS IʼVE LOST SHOULD WORRY ME

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE

DISTRACTED BY MY VANITY
THE DAYS ALL RAN AWAY FROM ME 
WITH DEEP REGRET 
I MUST FORGET EACH WASTED OPPORTUNITY

I FAIL TO REACH MY DESTINY
I LOST THE WAR WITH VANITY
IGNORING WARNINGS, STILL IN MOURNING 
SLAVE TO MY OWN FANTASY

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE 
IN DAYLIGHT DISAPPEAR FROM VIEW 
ONCE MORE THE FAITS CONSPIRE 
DOUSE UNFULFILLED DESIRES 
TORMENTING ME THIS DE JAVU

RAINFALL IN MY LIFE, THE SUNSHINE NEVER CAME
I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE BUT THE SACRIFICE WAS IN VAIN EVERYTHING THE SAME AS ITʼS ALWAYS BEEN
NOW ALL THAT I HAVE LEFT ARE MY BROKEN DREAMS

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS
NEVER SUCCESSFUL
PREQUEL TO SEQUEL
SURE TO END IN TEARS

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS

I’M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
NO ONE ESSENTIAL
WHO SHOULD NEVER BE SEEN OR HEARD
NO ONE ESSENTIAL
I BARELY EXIST

DISMISSED WITHOUT A HEARING
IT’S THE SPOON-FED WAY
THE BLANKEST GENERATION
HAS LITTLE TO SAY

JUDGED BY WHAT THEY SEE
DECIDE I COULDN’T BE
I SEEM TO DISAGREE
WITH THE POSSIBILITY
THAT MY CREATIVITY
IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE
FAR REMOVED FROM THE NORM 
POSSIBLY THE EXTRAORDINARY

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS
NEVER SUCCESSFUL
PREQUEL TO SEQUEL
SURE TO END IN TEARS

BRAINWASHED BY A TRENDY BEAT
BAD TASTE TAKES ITS TOLL
BUT I GO WHEREVER INSPIRATION TAKES ME
NO RECIPE, NO ROADMAP FOR ME

YOU MADE THE CHOICE TO SELL YOUR SOUL
BUT I MADE THE CONSCIOUS CHOICE
TO REMAIN WHOLE
NO RECIPE
AUTHENTICITY
CREATIVE INTEGRITY

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS
NEVER SUCCESSFUL
PREQUEL TO SEQUEL
SURE TO END IN TEARS

BREAK

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
ALWAYS FALLING ON DEAF EARS
NEVER SUCCESSFUL
PREQUEL TO SEQUEL
SURE TO END IN TEARS

NO PIGEONHOLE DIVERSE APPROACH
CONFLICTS WITH MIND CONTROL
SHEEP THEY BLEAT, MORE OF THE SAME
PREFER OUR FOOD OF LOVE WHEN DROLL

I WAS BORN TO FAIL 
DISAPPEARING IN THE CROWD
I WAS NEVER MEANT TO SAIL 
I WAS NEVER MEANT TO SAIL THROUGH LIFE

MY WORDS, MY MUSIC
MY WORDS, MY MUSIC

#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!
