Ever After Online

I'm a twenty-something classically-trained singer who dabbles in electronic music and writing. 

Composer and Media Producer from Kent, Ohio, USA.  Has released works as Xyst, Sonoxia, and JeffRay for Hypaethral Productions, Pearls Before Swine, and Mesa Publishing. Now focused on creating mostly instrumental music for video, tv, games and motion picture scores. 

Although the thumbnails are created using Dall-E or Stable Diffusion, NO AI WAS USED TO CREATE ANY MUSICAL COMPONENTS.

There are far too many people to thank, but I'm going to try: 

FIRST AND FOREMOST: 
Image-Line's FL Studio DAW
https://www.image-line.com/
https://soundcloud.com/fl-studio

I cannot begin to express how much this software helped me find my musical voice. (Image-line has not paid me anything for my endorsement.) Buy it once and get lifetime unlimited upgrades. I've used it since 1999 and since then, they've introduced dozens of new synths and effects I received for free. It just keeps on giving. I absolutely love FL Studio because of it's step sequencer core, beautiful interfaces, ease of use, robust help, versatility and incredible sound quality.

If you follow me and haven't heard from me recently, send a message. There is so much great music out here, it sometimes take a while to get back and listen to the wonderful stuff you are all making.

I am a sickly thing burning out for the entertainment of dozens.
Eons ago the gods locked me up in here as punishment for my divine transgressions. 
I've been live recording, digitally producing, & blending both mediums for a long time. 
Thank you for stopping by.
Be safe on your trip.

We have some neat selfmade videos over at YouTube. Check 'em out.

Most of my tracks lately are Demos but when I make an album I revise them so you are getting your money's worth with my stuff for sure.  Thanks for the support and may SoundCloud live on and strong.  STAY THIRSTY FOR MUSIC MY FRIENDS!!

Hello, welcome to my page.

I've been making music since 1972. At the time, with Pedro Castro, we created the alternative rock band Petrus Castrus. 

The music I'm placing here is mostly from the home recordings of my ongoing projects and ideas. I created a few playlists (Inéditos) according to language:
Portuguese: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos
English: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-en 
Spanish: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-sp
French: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-fr
Italian: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-it

I also placed the concept album "Três Jardins" in a playlist. There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums, and corresponding playlists that gather some of their individual tracks. A playlist called Synergies gathers the collaboration projects with other musicians in the fantastic SoundCloud community

Petrus Castrus edited records can be found on Spotify and Soundcloud. See the Facebook Petrus Castrus page for more details, including comments about the recordings uploaded here. 

We are both amateur musicians, i.e. music lovers. As for me, I'm just an electrical engineer with a master in AI that really loves creating music and use it to share ideas. That is why all tracks include lyrics or texts.

By the way I'm not interested in third-party offers to boost the number of plays. I like it as it is, and I've always declined such offers. Thanks anyway. 

I don't repost much, just some tracks that I find outstanding and with very few plays, so I can help them to get better known. I believe that repost parsimony also makes life easier for those who follow me.

Enjoy!

*** UPDATE May 2025. Good news. The SC contractual terms have now been corrected, and our music will no longer be used for AI training. NOTE April 2025: It just came to my attention that, unless we do a separate contract, all our uploaded music in SC can be freely used for AI training. This is written down in the legal section, under the licensing paragraphs. What can (should) we do to change that? *** 

*** Note Dec 2024: Alas, AI generated content that is not disclosed as such is now being posted at an alarming rate, sometimes multiple tracks in a single day from fake artists that even write down fake introductions, saying how much they love music that comes from the heart. Please avoid reposting these deceptions, it only adds to the confusion.  And it encourages the algorithms to give them preference. ***

*** NOTE June 2024: Generative AI is becoming amazingly powerful. Nothing against it. Just to avoid the confusion and embarrassment of finding ourselves praising and encouraging mindless algorithms, I believe it would be nice for us to always disclose its usage in our tracks. What do you think?  ***

I incorporate live instruments such as Harmonica and Acoustic Guitar with a Modern 808 drum pad.. I use Garage Band as my platform and the sound quality is 256 kBits/s and 24 bit resolution. 
My songs usually have more than one genre that vary from Blues, Trap, Hip Hop, Jazz, Folk, Rock, and Reggae. Enjoy! 

Feel free to contact me for a collaboration!

Welcome to the Psychic Sound Cult. 🙏

Bonn was a figure in the Austin, Texas, music scene, where he was a co-founder for The Onlys, an indie rock band that started in 1995 alongside Jason Lavalle (drums), Jason Chenoweth (vocals/guitar/keyboards), and Joel Chenoweth (vocals/guitar). The Onlys remain part of Austin’s vibrant indie music community, though they remain a niche act. More recently, Bonn has been a core musician for Dish Machine Operators (DMO), a music collective that promotes collaborative, passion-driven projects. His music is distributed globally through UnitedMasters. 

Past: (Joel Chenoweth, Jason Chenoweth-Fine, Jason Lavalle, Steven Bonn, Rachel Romero, Jamie Hill, & Bakke) In~escaping the moments of static and a left turn in ALBQ, made a hard landing in Austin, TX and the Onlys were born (1993). The ONLYS (T.O.s). T.O. also released Tune the Blue Screen and Limbic System. Associated, Texas Trash and The Trainwrecks (aka, Terry Trash); and Matthew L. Tyson.

Today, DMO involves Adam Brobst, Steven Bonn & by the miracle of time-traveling…. Jason Chenoweth and ETC.........
