The word Babylon is about the breakdown of society. Beyond Babylon implies getting beyond the breakdown of society. Getting above the noise / babble to see and hear more clearly what is really there.



Obviously a new paradigm is needed. Like taking off one pair of glasses and putting on another. From this new perspective we see things differently, we react differently. Maybe other people will be interested in these ideas too.



As a rock band we are exploring these ideas in our lyrics and summoning up the energy of change. Musically we are a fusion of rock n roll, blues, pop, rock, punk, new wave, etc

Bobbie Winston is a world renowned award-winning American artist, as well as musician, keyboardist, composer, producer, publisher, recording artist, performer...currently living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

She´s known worldwide as "La Femme Bobbie" to the ever-growing fan base of her strikingly colorful and imaginative paintings.  Bobbie created all the artwork for her tracks and albums.

All her music tracks are available to be used as SOUNDTRACKS, TV, COMMERCIALS, SHOWS and reflects the organic adventurism in her music - hypnotic, exotic and certainly erotic.  She is self-described as a female disciple of Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Rick Wakeman.  Then, again, she is quite an original in her own right. 

Born and raised in New York City, Bobbie's initial musical training began at the CBS School of Performing Arts when she was four years old. 

Her breathtaking electronic artistry on the keyboard is quite familiar to club-goers in Rio where she has performed for years in ensembles with many of that city´s leading-edge musicians. 


She has been living and painting out of a lofty apartment atop a high rise with an extraordinary ocean view on the beach in Copacabana.  Bobbie took her music from the clubs and begin recording original tracks in her home studio for the internet.  It didn´t take long for her already existent art following to quickly pick up on the appealing sounds emanating from the same fertile mind that gave birth to her paintings.  Then as time passed, a whole new international audience started discovering her deeply appealing music. 

Bobbie´s musical stylings are varied and eclectic combining the fusion of different beats and rhythms that span the musical spectrum as well as the globe.

These past few years, Bobbie composed and produced 139 new tracks and 6 albums.  They fall into the category of what she calls, "Dancing in the Twilight Zone".  They are as cerebral as they are infectiously rhythmic, erotic, exotic and hypnotic.
You can find her recordings on all the international music streaming platforms and on most social media sites...so check her out and enjoy!

South African's young Raper in Bloemhof 

Hello! My name is Alex or Sasha and this is my art project: "Dionysus' Zinfandel"

I write my own lyrics, record MIDI tracks and vocals in GarageBand and then stylize them using AI to give it the sound I want and can't achieve with my equipment and skills, and to give it the voice I can never have. All music that you can find here was made for personal entertainment purposes with the intention of showing my lyrical rather musical skills.

I wanted to write Metal music since I was a little kid, and, thanks to modern technology, I can now do that. My biggest inspirations are Nightwish, Iron Maiden, and Pallbearer.

Please be kind and respectful. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoy them. <3
