VOLAR

7. Simplemente Volar

I write and record songs in various genres.  I am influenced by everything I have heard, everything I have experienced and everything I have read, and I read a lot.  I don't have a genre, I have a lot of words floating around in my head, a number of guitars, acoustic, electrics and bass, and a keyboard. I also have Logic Pro X.  Look around in here, the songs are diverse and you may find something that you like.  And, thank you for taking the time to listen. I really appreciate it.

Just another old one man band unsigned musician who sings and plays a little guitar, bass & drums and fools around on the piano; expert in writing songs that usually disappear with the wind, and in composing musical flops.  Folks say that I´m a composer, but I think they´re wrong: I just download the music I hear and feel in the atmosphere and give it back to the people. I don´t do a living from music; I ´m an attorney and horse breeder who gets noisy when I download the music I hear and feel.Thanks for checking out my page and listening the noise I´ve been doing for the past 50 and so years when I get musical.  I´m based in Bogotá, Colombia, and always open to do collabs.

The Welton Shipwreck is a UK-based rock duo made up of Stu Head and John Culkin. Formed at the start of the 2020 pandemic lockdown period, their songs are written and recorded by means of long-distance collaboration from their homes in Scotland and Yorkshire. The music they make combines elements of shoegaze, post rock, folk and psychedelic.

Stu and John are old friends of over 20 years. Both originally from the Greater Manchester area, they met at university in Leeds in 2000. The band name refers to a street they lived on as students.

Both Stu and John sing, play guitar, bass, keyboards and drums across their various tracks (along with a few less conventional instruments.) They mix and produce all of their own music.

New tracks always in the works and posted right here!

Thanks for visiting.

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:
Yeah. 4th year in a row. Happy about it. Happy that I wasn't awarded anything in 'rock' again.  4 months left to still compete. It's been an honour to play for you all as usual. 

October: I think I'm gonna do a chill hop/jazz hop thing with Coltrane changes. Done a instrumental before but never done a vocal jazz hop thing.
It's going well. Pretty exhausting because of how much brain power is used to decide what scale to play over the Coltrane changes. Easily the most 'jazziest' thing I've ever done. Tho it's hip hop. So when it comes time to explain the song I've forgotten about half the scales I'm using. Will probably be out end of the month. 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.
The only low for this year has been working with the label. They are called Raw Doggy Records. I contacted them saying I know you guys do electronic but I don't. They did like my music. Were gonna release stuff. Then they heard the mix for 'Heartbeats' and wanted me to remix some songs. I said, "that costs money." Then, I changed my mind and still got that mixer to mix the old songs. 3 of em' and then the label said, "to be honest, we prefer the older mixes." They were taking 2 weeks to reply to my emails aaand not so much as a "sorry we made you pay all that money for...nothing." So I said, "to be honest, I prefer the new mixes" which is a polite way of saying "go fuck yourself." And, that was that. They seemed to have gotten the msg. If you check out the artists on their roster all I can say is, "it's not my cuppa tea" I prefer electronic music like Daft Punk/Kavinsky/Infected Mushroom etc. The good news is that I wasn't particularly down about it.
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?"
