A NECESSARY EVIL

Your prearranged universe
Will take no structure loss
Where will your high standards be
When you count up the cost
Who am I to bear your cross

The pressure from your peers
Is now an unrelenting force
Submerge your personality
Just stay true to the course

You call social change
A violent upheaval
Accept the compromise
A necessary evil

Dangerous mind, you’ve got a dangerous mind
Dangerous mind you’ve got there

And no one can tell you
What to do, who to be
No one can tell you a thing

Every day that passes is a facet in your plan
No moment is left undisturbed
Control it if you can
Triumph and tragedy of Man

You call social change
Abhorrent and primeval
Accept the compromise
A necessary evil

SOLO

You call social change
A loss beyond retrieval
Accept the compromise
A necessary evil

Dangerous mind, you’ve got a dangerous mind
Dangerous Mind you’ve got there

A Necessary Evil

Iridescent Waves

Eleven [The Weeknd / Bruno Mars Type Beat]

This track is a instrumental - In this song I thought I'd spare you my voice (well almost). I felt the main melody, within the track, would be better served by using a flute like sound. This song touches on People's mental health in today's world, and their journey on finding contentment within themselves - which is something I can really relate to.

Finding A Beautiful Mind

Amazing lost gem from House of Usher Music! This is a never before released track from the Celestium recording sessions in 1982. Produced by Gary Usher and written with the incredible Tom Kelly, also on vocals. Stefrika was a project song written for a young girl who was gravely ill. The song was to be commissioned for a short film, Intended to be animated. It was finished after the Celestium record was released on Sony Records. So, this fantasy styled beautifully colored song sits within its own space among the clouds and the sky. I watched as this song came to life at Preferred Sound Studios in Woodland Hills. Right down the street from my High School. I would bring my friends in for listening sessions at lunch. The ultra rare Synclavier synthesiser was used extensively on this. We made full use of it anytime we could get it, as there were only a couple available in L.A. at the time. Tom would usually come in after a an early morning round of Golf at the Calabasas Country club, and he would sing like an angel. So much character in his voice. Under my Dads production guidance, the pair worked magic. Truly a treasure within the vaults at House of Usher Music!

Hi there and welcome to the 2nd release by 'NEON MONOLITH', 'FUTURE YOU FUTURE ME'

This track is based around what the future holds for us, as technology seems to evolve, we somehow seem to devolve. The more we are transformed by digital enhancements and online communication; we are perhaps leaving behind so much that we had discovered before. 

If this continues what will the Future hold for You and Me?!

Love Masquerade - NEON MONOLITH

Multi-genre producer based in Eastern Europe |🎼

Leeds born artist spent a number of years self taught on various DAW's. Follow the white rabbit hehehe also DJ as a hobby on Konduit and Mixcloud, MM in da Haus

Cafe Lecane is an 80's style Synth Pop project created by song writer, musician and producer: R.G.Lecane.

Azteca 500 fell in love with music at a young age. He would go to nightclubs and parties where music took on a journey and left his shirt sweaty by the end of the night. It was House, Dance Hall, Hip Hop, Afro Beats, Cumbria, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Rock en Español, Funk, Reggae, Reggaeton and Alternative music that were really present in his life. He recognizes the power that rhythm and melody have on our mind state and emotions. Music is very sublime and can motivate us to be productive, positive and focused. His mixes are mixed with an intention for the listener to reach their highest potential while grooving to good music.

Music has always been an integral part of my life. From my earliest memories, it has shaped how I express my emotions and bring my creative ideas to life. Whether it was hours spent with a slightly out-of-tune upright piano or strumming on my sister's guitar, I was hooked. While I struggled with traditional music theory and never quite mastered reading or writing music, my passion for sound and composition only grew.

My journey truly began with a Casio VL-Tone, a keyboard that allowed me to record simple melodies. Throughout my teenage years, I poured countless hours and resources into building my first collection of music gear, recording everything from theme songs to pop and punk covers with friends. In my early twenties, I played in several bands and immersed myself in the live music scene, which was a great experience but often came with late nights and long hours.

During this time, I also began exploring electronic music more seriously, acquiring my first proper setup: a Kawai keyboard, Technics sequencer, Alesis HR16 drum machine, and a Yamaha MT100 4-track recorder. These tools opened up new possibilities and inspired me to experiment with electronic music production and midi-based compositions.

A lifelong fan of science fiction, fantasy, and cinematic soundtracks, I soon found myself gravitating toward composing thematic music. Movies, being my second greatest passion, heavily influenced the direction of my creative work.

In my 30s, life’s demands shifted my focus toward career and family, but my love for music never waned. Entering my 40s, I had the opportunity to refocus, acquiring new gear and fully committing to my musical development. With the help of modern technology, I now have a home studio where I can bring my musical ideas to life with greater precision and depth.

My current setup includes a Korg Triton LE, Cubase 12, Nektar LE88, Steinberg UR824 interface, and an array of VSTs such as Kontakt, Halion Sonic SE, Retrologue, and EastWest Symphonic Choirs, among others. This home studio, built over nearly a decade, allows me to push creative boundaries and explore new sounds and compositions.

Based in Liverpool, I’m currently writing is almost every style. Rock songs for my band Inner Fire. Pop tracks inspired by the 80's and 90's. Theme music inspired by film and literature with the aspiration of one day scoring a full-length production. 

Since joining SoundCloud, I've had the privilege of connecting with talented musicians and creative minds from around the world. One of the most fulfilling collaborations has been with John Styles, where we’ve explored a wide range of musical genres. 

I’m also proud to serve as the principal composer for Music for Brains, a project dedicated to healing through music and creativity. Working on this project has been deeply rewarding, as it has allowed me to connect with individuals on an emotional level, crafting compositions inspired by their stories.

I’m always open to feedback and collaboration, as it helps me refine my craft. While working in the music industry is a dream, I am also a grateful family man, and the support of my loved ones plays a crucial role in fuelling my passion. I am thankful to have such a strong network of family and friends who encourage me to keep pursuing my musical ambitions.

If you're in need of music for a production or project, feel free to reach out. I would be excited to contribute my creativity and help bring your vision to life.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my music—I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Matt
