Oh boy! Martin signature guitar with signature Jean-Michel vocals!! What a sonority, gentlemen! Big up! Jivin'

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? volume 1

During the early days of Myspace, Soundcloud & Reverbnation there was a great vibe going on among we musicians, we were enthusiastic, we reached out, supported one another, actually took time to listen, leaving one another encouraging feedback, so I sometimes wonder, WHERE ARE THEY NOW, are they still making music?

Many more volumes with this theme to come, on here and on Reverbnation, so if you haven't been added yet, you will be.
>
WE BENEFIT FROM POSTING ON SOUNDCLOUD THE MOST WHEN WE FOLLOW BACK, LISTEN AND LEAVE FEEDBACK

Who should we follow back? The Soundcloud users who don’t just follow us they actually listen and leave feedback, makes sense, right. So why does it make sense, because they are the ones actually supporting your music, they are the ones that raise your profile and feedback is FREE hype, it advertises your product, it tells new arrivals to your page that your music is worth listening to, that’s what I mean when I say we ALL benefit.
These platforms actually end up failing BECAUSE we don’t maximise their potential in this way, a follow serves no purpose if we don’t follow through, and if we don’t follow through others don’t follow through either, we all become wary of giving support because we know only a very small number will do the same for us.
So how does this affect these platform, activity slows down eventually grinding to a halt, once that happens platforms like Soundcloud could end up going out of business, eventually there will be no platforms left for us to FREELY post on, the day will arrive when the ONLY way to post our music is to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE, so you see being PROACTIVE not only benefits you and I it ensures the survival of platforms like Soundcloud; ok, so it doesn’t deliver in some of the ways we’d like it to, and including reaching an actual audience, but it’s a whole lot better than nothing at all!

WHERE ARE THEY NOW volume 1

Been a great while since any music has been uploaded to my Soundcloud. But here's a little melodic piano piece i did for all ears on the cloud to enjoy! Thank you so much for the listens, comments, repost and support. Means a lot. Much love and blessings to all! Stay safe!

2023
lyrics 
let the birds fly free from the cage
a demonstration for freedom and this age
you left me hanging tell me how you feel
who broke the butterfly on a wheel
what we need is a revolution or nothing gonna change
fly the flags of a new solution power,greed ,and rage
spirit of the age

Death of a generation tell me what went wrong
for the peace and a new sensation who wrote another song
Death of a generation who signed an epitaph
all the clowns and the politicians who cut us down in half

who led the madmen from this house
rampaging elephants your the mouse
they smashed the kingdom broke down the fear
now it makes me wonder whats been left here
all the shops are empty because of capital gain
and you dont  even remember now things all look the same 
when thy crashed the plane
death of a generation what have we got left 
death of a generation they got away with theft
Death of a generation they want to take control
all the clowns and the politicians who want to take control
Death of a generation they thought they would change thhe world
but they lost all there levitation and all the dreams got sold
Death of a Generation they gave it all away
all the fools and the aggravation whats been left today
nothing left to say [lyrics by jim manser 2023]

LES IMPREVUS MALENCONTREUX

Les imprévus malencontreux
Qui sèment le mal tout autour d’eux
Viennent bouleverser par leurs venus
Certains des jours et même plus
Sortent de l’ombre et des buissons
Nous jouent des tours à leurs façons
A faire des maux, pétrir nos cœurs
Partant de rires, on passe aux pleurs.

Les imprévus malencontreux
Nous font souffrir, font de leur mieux
Voudraient nous voir sur une image
Noyant nos yeux dans un naufrage
Passent à l’acte sans prévenir
Nous faisant mal, malin plaisir
Sans faire passer comme indolore
Ces coups de l’âme contre nos sorts 

Les imprévus malencontreux
Nous rongent,
Et à cause d’eux
On songe,
A ce pire, l’angoissant,
De se dire à nouveau c’est quand….

Les imprévus malencontreux
Faisant du mal tout autour d'eux
Viennent nous voir de temps en temps
Nous faire savoir tout simplement
Qu’ils peuvent d'une manière
Nous faire du mal, nous mettre en l’air
Et que seul’ment s’ils le souhaitent
Nous laisseront des jours en fêtes.

Les imprévus malencontreux
Nous rongent,
Et à cause d’eux
On songe,
A ce pire, l’angoissant,
De se dire à nouveau c'est quand….

Les imprévus malencontreux
Que cherchent-ils contre tous ceux
Qui veulent vivre tout simplement
De grands bonheurs qui durent au temps
Pensant à chaque fois que tout bien
Vivant nos jours et leurs lendemains
Jetant les doutes à tous les vents
Pour que l'amour reste bien grand.

THE UNFORTUNATE EXPECTATIONS

Unforeseen events
Who sow evil all around them
Come to upset by their arrivals
Some days and even more
Come out of the shadows and the bushes
Playing tricks on us in their own ways
To cause pain, to knead our hearts
Starting with laughter, we move on to tears.

Unforeseen events
Make us suffer, do their best
Would like to see us in a picture
Drowning our eyes in a shipwreck
Take action without warning
Making us hurt, evil pleasure
Without passing it off as painless
These blows of the soul against our spells

Unforeseen events
are gnawing at us,
And because of them
We think,
At this worst, the distressing,
To say to yourself again when….

Unforeseen events
Doing harm all around them
Come see us from time to time
Just let us know
That they can in a way
Hurt us, put us in the air
And only if they wish
Will leave us days of celebration.

Unforeseen events
are gnawing at us,
And because of them
We think,
At this worst, the distressing,
To say again when is it….

Unforeseen events
What do they seek against all those
Who want to live simply
Great happiness that lasts over time
Thinking every time that everything is good
Living our days and their tomorrows
Throwing doubts to all the winds
So that love remains great.

We are in the process of recording On Track, so decided to release a live version first. It was recorded at the Con Club Lewes using a TASCAM DR-05X handheld device on 19th April 2025. This was the first song of the set, the band were on stage and Rick (the singer) started with the train information message from the back of the club and only joined the rest of the band during the solo. We'll put a movie on YouTube at some point.

This is a reinterpretation of BrunoDj (aka Bruno LT) to the first track of the AFC.

She’s the number one most wanted

And you think you just found her

At a random subway station

 Her hidden location


She’s been hunted fairly recent

Right out here, in your precinct

She was right in your grasp

She’s disappearing fast


She’s missing now since summer

You’ve looked up and down under

Searched in lost and found

She is underground


She’s left you just some small prints

so faded you need more hints

Will she give a sign

That she is on time?


She’s missing now since summer

You’ve looked up and down under

Searched in lost and found

She is underground



She’s outgrowing her dwelling

Your heart gets warm and swelling

Spring must be quite near

The dandelions here


The dandelions here


Most Wanted

This song was recorded on a TASCAM DR-05X on the 19th April 2025 at the Con Club in Lewes. We are planning to release a studio version at some point, but in the meantime here’s a live version. Sorry that the sound quality isn't great, but we're hoping the audience’s enthusiasm makes up for that :)

In the WRONG PLACE at THE WRONG TIME with THE WRONG MINDSET, apparently making THE #WRONG #MUSIC, but it feels #RIGHT to ME!

Highly unlikely more than one of my tunes will ever be heard by more than a handful of listeners, so just for the record here is an incomplete list of artists my music has been compared to by other musicians, depending on which tunes they heard, StevenVellou (Gothic Funk)

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!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
