SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP

I BREAK ALL THE RULES DEFINING THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SIMPLY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THEM! 

AND BECAUSE THEY ARE UNFAMILIAR, UNPREDICTABLE, FROM ONE CREATION TO THE NEXT, ONE TUNE WILL ONLY TELL YOU AS MUCH AS READING ONE PAGE OF A NOVEL, AND ONE LISTEN, NO MORE THAN A PARAGRAPH :)

FROM ONE END OF THE SPECTRUM TO THE OTHER!

UNSIGNED ARTISTS ON SOUNDCLOUD

INERTIAL

Red Cloud (Tiho ft Miro)

A mix between Electro sounds and early Industrial beats from late 80's Early 90's

Cartoon Nightmare

WAR OF THE DOLLS (recorded 1975, among my first attempts at making musical noise)

In case you thought Gary Numan got there first! I could barely play keyboard at the time, so make allowances.

My experimental stuff circa 1975; one of my first attempts at making musical composition.

PREDICTING THE PRESENT (recorded circa 1975, among my first attempts at making musical composition)

VICTIM EXPECTED TO LIVE LIKE VICTIM
DIE....DIE....DIE LIKE A VICTIM
INNOCENT CHILD CAUGHT UP IN THE CONFUSION
WHY....WHY....WHY ALLL THE FRICTION

WE'RE ALL VICTIMS OF THE SYSTEM
WE'RE ALL VICTIMS OF THE SYSTEM

TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, MUCH LIKE TODAY....
TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, MUCH LIKE TODAY....

FOOLISHLY WE THINK WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM
BUT DRINKING IN DEFEAT IS AS CLOSE AS WE'LL EVER COME
NOTHING CAN CHANGE WHAT HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED
MANY HAVE TRIED, BUT HAVE DIED BEFORE IT LEFT THE PAGE

TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY

TOMORROW WILL BE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY
THE SUN RISING IN THE EAST, BUT REFUSING TO STAY
OH, AND NOTHING CAN STOP THE TIDAL WAVES OF HISTORY
THE SUN RISING IN THE EAST, BUT REFUSING TO STAY

NOTHING CAN REPEL THE TIDAL WAVE OF MISERY
AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE THE BLOODY COURSE OF HISTORY
NOTHING WILL DEFLECT THE BITTER BLOWS OF TRAGEDY
AND NO ONE CAN PROTECT THE INNOCENT FROM THE GUILTY

FOOLISHLY WE THINK....WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM
FOOLISHLY WE THINK....WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM

ALTHOUGH WE KNOW WE CAN NEVER BEAT THEM
WE WILL NEVER JOIN THEM
WE KNOW WE CAN NEVER BEAT THEM
BUT WE'LL NEVER....NEVER....NEVER JOIN THEM

SELLING OUT TO THEM SHOULD BE OUR BIGGEST FEAR
PROTECTING OUR INTEGRITY, OUR WHOLE CAREER
IF WE RETAIN OUR DIGNITY WE'RE VICTIMS IN THE FLESH
BUT OUR SOULS ARE ONE COMMODITY....
THEY CAN ONLY SECOND GUESS

DON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN
DON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN
WON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN

DIE LIKE A VICTIM

THE CHAIN TUNES PROJECT (collective band name: THE CHAIN TUNES GANG)

BASED ON THE CHAIN LETTERS PRINCIPLE

A musician lays down an initial track and forwards ti to several musicians, they each add a second track and forward it to several more, and so on.

A universal format, like Cubase, would help, as it would mean the whole folder for each song could be sent to the next musician in the chain.

Each step of the process would also need to be sent back to me, so I can keep a record of it all, including details about each musician involved, their links and an email address, so you would also need to forward, to each participating musician, my email address together with the song files.

IF YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO BE INVOLVED, SEND ME A MESSAGE TOGETHER WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS. I HAVE A CHAIN TUNES PAGE ON HERE AND ON REVERBNATION, WHERE TUNES BEING USED IN THE PROJECT WILL BE POSTED, AND AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD.

I will give more detailed instructions to musicians who sign up.

OUR LIVES MAY BE WORTH LESS THAN GRAVITY
BUT WE ARE WORTH SO MUCH MORE....IN TOTALITY
BUT WE CAN'T IGNORE OUR OWN MORTALITY
AND WE CAN'T IGNORE OUR OWN CATASTROPHE

WE CAN'T IGNORE OUR DESTINY
REFUSE TO CHANGE OUR MENTALITY
WE REFUSE TO REARRANGE OUR DIARY
CHANGE THE WAY WE VIEW SOCIETY
CHANGE THE MAN THAT LIVES INSIDE OF ME
CHANGE THE MAN

ONE STEP AHEAD OF DEVASTATION
TWO STEPS AWAY FROM TRIBULATION
THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION
WE INFLICT UPON THIS THING WE CALL....CREATION

ALTHOUGH WE SHARE COLLECTIVE VISION
EACH OF IS ON A DIFFERENT MISSION
TO SERVE THE ID THAT LURKS WITHIN
OUR SUPEREGO JUST A SKIN

THIS THING WE CALL CREATION

SOON AFTER OUR FIRST LOBOTOMY
WE VENTURED....DEEP INTO....BLACK COMEDY
PULLED BY THE STRINGS....OF HISTORY

THE ARCHITECTS OF.....OUR OWN STUPIDITY
BEGINNING WARS WE NEVER WIN
WE ARE THE PUPPETS, NOT THE MANNEQUINS
SWALLOWING OUR OWN PHILOSOPHY
CENSORING OUR OWN HUMANITY
EXPELLING NATURE, WE BREATHE IN NURTURE
WE THINK THE CURE LIES IN THE FUTURE....

inst. intro

CALLED UPON THE MEN IN WHITE JUST THE OTHER DAY BUT FEAR OF EARS 'A' LISTENING
PREVENTED ME FROM HAVING MY SAY
SO I TALKED WITH MY EYES
TO THE DOCTOR IN DISGUISE

FROM THE SCREAMING TO THE DREAMING WE TOUCHED ON EVERYTHING
WE TALKED ABOUT HOW LIFE BEGAN
THE WEATHER AND THE DAWN OF MAN AND EVEN WHEN HIS REIGN WOULD END WE TALKED ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD
AND HOW MY PARENTS NEVER UNDERSTOOD

BUT ALL HIS SMOOTH AND REHEARSED LINE OF PATTER ONLY SERVES TO MAKE HIS WALLET EVER FATTER
IT DOESN'T STOP THE CHIT-CHAT CHATTER CHATTER LIKE WATER TORTURE IN MY HEAD

The Undead

Some Soundcloud musicians receive tens of thousands of listens, and more power to them, but spare a thought for those of us who struggle to reach double figures; it isn’t always because our tunes are inferior!

MY LAST DAY ON EARTH

DAVID BOWIE (CINEMATIC GOTH)

Anyone seeking authenticity, imagination & personality, in creativity should explore unsigned music; that's where my faith in the future of music lies!

UNSIGNED MUSIC isn't inferior to SIGNED by any stretch of the imagination! Look past the illusion, find out what you're missing!
>
REALITY CHECK! Most LIKES are FAKE, no LISTEN took place! Only FEEDBACK that in some way describes the substance of the tune proves that it was actually played and HEARD!!! #SatiricalStevenSays #SixFootUnderground #MusiciansWithVision

FEEDBACK FAMILY: REPOSTS no longer work and LIKES make no difference whatsoever; ONLY positive FEEDBACK makes a difference, a BIG difference. Feedback makes your account more VISIBLE so it brings MORE TRAFFIC, MORE LISTENERS—it also serves as GENUINE HYPE, visitors see the amount of feedback you receive and that arouses their curiosity to listen, and when they listen, seeing all that genuine hype influences the way they listen—they hear your music through POSITIVE EARS. 

The ABSENCE of feedback has the reverse psychological effect, it KILLS CURIOSITY, and those who do listen, listen with NEGATIVE EARS. Potential listeners rarely find your page in the first place because the LACK OF FEEDBACK means your music posts don’t appear in THE FEED, quickly disappearing from view. The music of those who DO enjoy feedback REMAINS in the feed, visible to viewers, and the visibility of their latest post is far greater than those who don’t receive feedback. 

The result, some of best music on Soundcloud goes UNNOTICED, which is why I propose the idea of a FEEDBACK FAMILY as a way of raising the profile of all those who joined this initiative. Twitter is a good place to coordinate such a project and I have an account set up on there specifically for that purpose. 

If you are interested in joining contact me on here or on Twitter and I will fill you in on how the whole thing works. FEEDBACK BEGETS FEEDBACK! https://twitter.com/Feedback_Family

MUSICIANS THAT HAVE A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE TO THE REST, TEND TO MAKE MUSIC THAT IS DIFFERENT TO THE REST!
It is common practice for musicians to click the like button on #Soundcloud without ever listening to the tune! There is no proof it was listened to, so it's impossible to know who genuinely likes a track! Only actual #feedback proves it's been heard!

I use to follow musicians back that clicked the like button, but it becomes very obvious that only 10% actually listen, when you receive five times as many likes as listens. This has made me extremely wary about being the first to leave feedback, and that kind of wariness spreads like wildfire!

Because of this, I only follow musicians back that leave feedback, or share one of my posts; and I will only leave feedback once if the favor isn't returned. it is better to keep searching for musicians who have enough #class and #humility to return the #respect!

#Musicians that have those qualities clearly have depth, creating tunes for the love of it, rather than simple to fuel their own ego, and fatten their bank accounts!
