Life's about Living

Life's about living

Will you love me still, when I'm old and grey

A trio that doesn’t want to be categorized.

Thank you  for visiting my world, I'm happy to share! Listening is free, commenting is priceless.

I 've been composing electronic music for more than 23 years but only started this new project 3 years ago, when the band in which I played bass splited.

 A large amount of the music I love was recorded in the 70's. Among these revered groups , Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Ange or King Crimson stand out. Over the years, I've also been very fond of many diverse bands and songwriters (The Doors; The Beatles; Bowie; Neil Young; Deep Purple; Led Zep; Patti Smith; U2; The Police; Massive Attack; Chemical Brothers; Killing Joke; Marillion; Morphine; Nirvana; The Young Gods; Dominique A; Noir Désir, Conil, Aurora ...). 
More related to my own synth music production, one could find influences from Vangelis, Jarre, Björk, Oldfield, Numan, Kraftwerk, Schultze and other pioneers. Finally, I should mention the great soundtrack composers such as Ennio Morricone, Wendy Carlos or Hans Zimmer.
Above all those great musicians stands the beloved statue of Ludwig van Beethoven, the visionary, the prodigy, the most sensitive man.

My desire is to be a tiny part of the admirable family of human composers and musicians in order to explore the infinity of musical combinations that our mind offers... To achieve this goal, I will continue to mix my own set of diverse influences in my own imperfect human way, without surrendering to any type of AI composer. My approach questions the astonishing way in which skills, sensitivity, aesthetic and personal history provide the fuel and oxygen for our creativity, while chance, curiosity and current feelings provide the spark. What matters the most is the process, not the result, the “product”.
My pieces will always reflect the result of hundreds of micro-choices I made, consciously or unconsciously, that's what makes it fun, right?
Feel free to comment or criticize my plethoric prod because reading your feedbacks is the only reward I expect.

look to the  absurdism  and that is where You'll find Me and My Music

and Jury. Does it ring true to Your Observations in Human Experience's 
The Fabric of Our Songs..................~~~~~~~~~~~*BB 

I write, play, sing, record, experiment, I Love the Blues, And Music it self.
"The Blues Has A Way Of Soothing Everything Broken and Bruised".

 I went back to College in my 50s and signed up for Music Tec.  Recording, Theory, etc.  Learning to use Computers and Operating Systems (Mac at School, Win. at Home) On the fly was Way Overwhelming for Me But My Love Of Music Was Stoked Even More 
and I Survived.  My first On Line Class I Was a Disaster.........I was taking my Final and my computer crashed Hard. I Knew very little about them.........but I did Know that I had waited till the last minute to test, Confident Because I had Studied and prepared.  Looking Back I Know I Shouldn't Have Been Streaming Tunes While I Tested And I Should Have Taken The Test With "Time To Spare".
When I Was Pleading With The Teacher Telling Him The Computer Crashed and He Told Me To "Tell It To Microsoft". 
     Well Well, Pissed Me Off So Bad I Got Some Books and Started Immersing MySelf in How To Understand This BEAR Called Computer.
That First Computer Only Had About 40 Gig Hard Drive, The Operating System Took Up About 28 Of That. Of Course Some Of That Is Dedicated To Storage of Music Files, Jpeg, Documents, Video etc. 2Gb Ram ---- Twenty Years Later:
      Now I have Just Put Together a Great Computer
      Gaming Tower, Gaming MotherBoard, 32Gb Ram
      1200 Watt Modular Power Supply
       Firewire 800, USB 3 
       Multiple Hard Drives-----500Gb SSD 
       8Tb 7200 RPM + 2--- 1TB +3TB
       My Mixing Board Is AI That communicates over Firewire 800 
       It Has A Virtual Board and an App to Control It On SmartPhone or Tablet 
       And Others In The Band Can Control their Own Mix 
 My MIDI Keyboard Has Lots of Different Instrument Sounds and Is Able To Access More Content Through Software.  Just Amazing Stuff,  Composing Software That will Make Sheet music From Midi Input,  Yea I Come A Long Way From Sitting By The Campfire Playing Guitar,  I Learn More Everyday But At My Age I Forget Stuff Too Dam Quickly,  I Stay At It and Will Take What I Am Given.
AND AM THANKFUL EVERYDAY THAT WE HAVE THE GIFT OF MUSIC TO KEEP US COMPANY ON OUR "JOURNEY"--- "The JOURNEY" IS THE FABRIC OF OUR SONGS.
     I have made a lot of Musical Friends On SoundCloud And I Love The Collaborations.............~~~~~~~~~~*BB   
ALSO SONG WRITERS IN THE KITCHEN IS A GREAT PLACE TOO.

Playing with ideas.. mostly failing :)
I love listening to music, from the baroque era(love Bach, Vivaldi) and some traditional old music all the way to the music nowadays.

It's not how big the artist is, I'm listening to the song with no other expectations that finding a good musical story behind the music. 
Not a fan of progress and being different for the sake of it. 
I like when people try to revive and build on old ideas. I think it sometimes carries much bigger risks than trying new things and can go to interesting places..

Not a good instrument player,  but like to tinker with it..

"Those who can, do; those who can't, use computers." << me.

All the music here is generated from Musescore, which I use to write down the ideas while I experiment on guitar and/or piano.

If interested to collaborate, send me a message..
Thanks for listening!

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane, I am an Indie songwriter from Ireland. I write, play, produce and distribute my own music. I try to write songs that will mean something to whoever may be listening. I try to express feeling and emotions through my music, I try to hit the heart and soul of whoever may be listening and to pass on my feelings through my lyrics and my music. A lot of the songs I write come from Personal experiences, some are pure imagination, but all try to carry a message of Hope, Fait, understanding and a spiritual message of love. I am just one voice in the wilderness but together we are stronger. Thank you so much for listening to my music. It’s a real honour.

Note: Thanks for the support on the Radiohead cover, however I don't want to be seen as looking for success from someone else's hard work and material so I'll always delete covers after a bit if they do end up getting jammed. I do appreciate the acknowledgements on them though. I never monetise covers either just to be clear on that. Cheers 🫡

Hello, Welcome to TBD.
All these creations are made by hard work and years upon years upon years of practice and trying to explain this world and the human condition to myself in the process through poems & songs. Thanks for all of your wonderful support.
Peace and Love to Everyone,
Carl Culliton


PS: The world needs good art and new ideas from the mindsets of artists living authentic lifestyles. In a world where we are poisoned by labels I think it's more honourable for humanity to show your true colours at the hard issues and lay them bare for a better future and in my opinion this should be more important then the success of whatever brand you are trying to create as a musician or artist. That's why I am The Beautiful Dark. My name is unlikely to help me become affluent and successful but it lays bare that this world has many dark inhumane ideas and mindsets to transcend and get on top of to move our existence on a path to a greater good for all life. So I'll do that for my children and I won't apologise for not trying to please people with any shallow so called truthful status quo. I'll share my actual truth from my whole being and you can use your own discernment to process that if you decide to embrace it. Cheers

Thank you for taking the time to listen,  please 'like' my work if you are so inclined, and please comment, I do this by myself, so I appreciate all feedback..
It goes without saying, but no AI or Music Maker here, I'm responsible for every chord, melody and word, mix and master, for better or worse! (I do use VST's and samples)
