Christmas song

The Funk

Vocal Engineer: Sam
Mouth Trumpet: Psychedelic Revolution
Recorder: Psychedelic Revolution
Printer and Chair Sampling: Psychedelic Revolution


A standard 1-6-2-5 progression found often in R&B except I did a tritone substitution at the end for some progressions. Also did some half step distancing for the diminished chords sometimes. There is a gospel guitar rhythm for the hook. For lead, there is my new favorite scale the Hindu scale, Dorian b2, as well as Lydian #2. Also superimposed the organ for the first 2 chords of the hook. There is also a printer and chair sound being sampled. 

Here are the lyrics with a few annotations: Basically about a disgruntled office worker. 

Verse 1:
It’s the boat that rocks you slowly and the bills that drive you crazy and the all too many sleepless nights 
I roll over and kiss my wife and then I fix the eggs, maybe I’m dead inside
It’s the hope that kills you slowly it’s the will that drives you holy and when its all over, I pray that I’ll be alright
I pray that it’ll all end, paycheck comes often, cos’ only then do I feel alive 


Chorus:
Hallelujah
He loves his children       (Radiohead reference)
Rain down
On a dark night

Do ya see I that bleed when I hand in that report that’s due for six months and I might turn violent, if I don’t get my way 
Do ya see that I can’t just quit cos’ of my kids, and the presents that I need to give at Christmas
And you earn more than me don’t cha 
Wish that I could
Work
Harder
Run
Faster
And arrive
A little earlier 
Work
Harder
Run
Faster
And arrive
A little earlier 

Verse 2:

Don’t know if it’s just me or the neon lights but my varicose veins are starting to look pretty heavy
I check up on my doctor and he says you’ll be fine kid, take a couple of pills, drink a couple of beers and then you’ll be steady
In confines, collars that choke us, slowly losing focus, as the time runs out
It’s the hope that kills you slowly it’s the will that drives you holy and when its a’ll over, I pray that I’ll be alright
I pray that it’ll all end, my paycheck comes often, only then do I feel alive

Harder, Faster, Earlier (Demo)

Betrayed Again

"Eine Combo die es in sich hat. Robert Carollo, auch bekannt unter dem Namen Rob Downbeat, und Sunforst, und Michael Heid der unter anderem mit dem Project Sonus aktiv ist. Beide Musiker bilden die perfekte Symbiose aus analogen Synthi Klängen, Groovig- saftigen Beats und eingängigen Gesangsmelodien. Das Resultat bringt dem Zuhörer positive Vibes und wippende Schenkel in Einklang zum Tanzen, Wohlfühlen und Loslassen."

It's time to discover me. Singer/musician recommends himself as the new superstar for the major labels and promotes himself with snappy words.

Es wird Zeit mich zu entdecken. Sänger/Musiker empfiehlt sich als neuer Superstar für die Major-Labels und preist sich mit flotten Worten an.



Es wird Zeit

Movin'

Nadia music!

Nadia Selvaggi, Ogi feel the Beat - Hidden Hand

I aint good with genres , but its all done with love and dedication

She knows

120 BPM of pure energy.
This track blends the raw soul of old-school funk with the punch and clarity of modern dancefloor production. Driving bass, tight funky guitars, an electric piano, sharp drums, a grooving sax, and female vocals that channel the golden age of funk — everything is here to make you move.

It’s not just funk. It’s not just EDM.
It’s a statement: get down, dance hard, and remember who you are.

Mixed in Cubase, mastered with Ozone 11, this song stands at the crossroad between classic groove and club-ready sound. For fans of Jamiroquai, Chromeo, Daft Punk, and anyone who loves music that makes the body and the soul vibrate.

Get Down and Know Who You Are

Get Down and Know Who You Are - KRT Production

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:

Nov: Funk
Dec: a cover. Demo version. But I will do a full length cover for once.
 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?"

As far as my middle school 'friends' go, well I'm really a huge fan of that guy one who went through his ex's phone, cried on a date, and then hacked her when she broke up with him. 
I'm also really a huge fan of the guy who kicked his ex.
I'm also a huge fan of the guy who got his head shoved down the toilet and claimed 'PTSD.' 
Soldiers who've served in Iraq and Afghanistan: Really? Would he like to go on tour with us?
I think he'd die of super PTSD before the plane takes flight so I can answer for him.
I heard some people wanted to donate some money and pay for my monthly mixing. And, I was very happy about it. I recently came into some money like how Starlight got insurance. The first thing that came into my mind was how I didn't have to take shit from my bosses anymore. You know, they say "不是说人是说事" (I'm critisizing what you did. Not you as a person) And, it's these same people that proceed to critisize you as a person after that. So, I no longer have to take that shit and I couldn't be happier. So, it's an A+ of a year. I'm still temping every Tuesday. Thankfully, the new school seems to be accomodating. What happened at the last school was...an obvious case of "management is restructuring"
The song...if you like it it's for you. I don't want to put pressure on anyone by saying it's for anyone.
