Fuck AI music. An important point here. That lead line exists in my head exactly like that since it came out on a tape when I was around 20. 25 years ago. AI music isn't being an artist. AI can't replicate feeling like that. That's called musical character and it takes your whole life and dedication to the art that is music to feel and project it. I know it has its place for individuals and in many ways that's positive. But before it destroys the world of making music artists need to put it in its place and create the box it should be kept in while real music continues to fill this wonderful world 🌍

Extend by one more phrase and go full U2 Edge like New Year's Day guitar lead

song from earth that has interstella reach, in fact if ever see the alien he or she again in my lifetime, i'll recommend it

The sound definitely lives up to the name, dark in an awesome way!  I love the deep introspective lyrics as well, great work Carl!

Inner space colliding with outer space - epic 🙏🙏

Viridian waltz

A song from the 2000s band Mercy Corps. First time recording my voice. It's, uh, harsh. But I wanted to sound like John Lydon of PIL, you know all nasally, pissed off, and in your face. I worry I just got the nasally part right. 🤧

This is another example of an excerpt of a previously uploaded track, originally written by steve vervaet, and performed by the Eclectic Collective. In this stripped down excerpt, it's just focusing on the organ part that comes in at the second half of the song, as well as Josh playing bass and electric piano, and Ken accompanying on the percussion. 

Here's a link to the full version, including all the guys playing along to Steve's heartfelt vocals:

The Carpenters are the Favourite band of all my celebrities.

Their songs have been a part of my childhood, my teenage years and even
now. Especially Karen's voice.
She had a fairly deep, medium-range voice, warm and colorful,
with an exceptional tone.
She was not only a singer, but also a very talented drummer.
Her brother Richard also has an extraordinary voice and does a lot of
backing vocals.

Their two voices alone amply cover the harmony of their tracks.
They're Unique.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this song; it's well-paced, as well as the bass and especially the drums.
For me, this song is very hard to sing, 
because the key starts off very low and rises quite high,
and the tempo also increases.

Honestly, I struggled to keep up with the rhythm in both choruses.
As I was saying, my voice isn't what it was 20-30 years ago. 🙂

This track is my very personal take at the Koan "Hear the Clap of your Hand". My lyrics version (https://soundcloud.com/konrad-spittelberg/the-clap-of-one-hand-pp) might make things clearer. (yes, this is my sneaky strategy to guide you from one song to another :-))

Compositionwise, the track is roughly split into two equal parts. The first part introduces its cinematic theme in the very beginning, taking it thereafter up several times with slightly different accentuations and rhythms which gives it a fresh feel with different highlighted nuances in each repetition. Several interludes contribute to the cinematic feeling. 

The second part, starting @1.53 starts by a more Jazzy version of the main theme. However, from 2.20 onwards, it is very restricted in its harmonies - only two harmonies are used from thereon until the end, C major and C# major. The tension arises purely from the rhythmic changes (such as the shift from 4/4 to 3/4 @3.17 and back), climaxing at the end.

The Clap of One Hand (Piano Miniature)

Dear friends, we lived close to the Cherry Valley when we were young - and now we are going back!

Back to the Cherry Valley

We meet in the cherry valley clime where cherries bloom
there is grandfather and our dear grandmother too
the small kids are there , and also dogs who will find
that this place is full of joy
and let the party move on 
and let all kids - run free
this is a morning that is grand

The path to this wonderful place on earth
is so tricky and hard and the old people need
all help they can get, we maybe put them in a wheel-
barrow for the tough transport
and let the party move on 
and let all kids - run free
this is a morning that is grand

We will go there when the cherry trees bloom - - they are so cute
and the morning sun must shine and cast shadows that make
the view magical - - it is a wonderful moment
for the generations to meet 
and let the party move on 
and let all kids - run free
this is a morning that is grand


Lyrics in Swedish:
Tillbaka till Körsbärsdalen

Vi möts i körsbärsdalen där körsbär blommar
där finns farfar och vår kära mormor också
de små barnen är där, och även hundar som kommer att finna
att denna plats är full av glädje
och låt festen gå vidare
och låt alla barn springa fritt
det här är en morgon som är magnifik

Vägen till denna underbara plats på jorden
är så knepig och svår och de gamla behöver
all hjälp de kan få, vi kanske sätter dem i ett skott-
kärra för den tuffa transporten
Och låt festen gå vidare
och låt alla barn springa fritt
det här är en morgon som är magnifik

Vi åker dit när körsbärsträden blommar - - de är så söta
och morgonsolen måste skina och kasta skuggor som gör
utsikten magisk - - det är ett underbart ögonblick
för generationerna att mötas
och låt festen gå vidare
och låt alla barn springa fritt
det här är en morgon som är magnifik

Turn of Time by Paploviante // sax remix

Who's the bitch today?
What seeks rich?
What can mind attract?
What says unconscious black mind itch?

Magnetic mirrors we are
Untuned, you feed abuse
Try 'keep me from my star
I'm quite convenient to mute
If you listened you might hear
If you looked, Love you'd see
If smells were sensed, Dear roses
But no, you mute the real me

Alive
Survive

Real me says - much
Real me works hard for a little
Real me is not materialistic
Real me unbreakable but brittle
Real me is dark to light
Real me is calm from fright
Real me helps with depression
Real me sees prescient sight
Real me doesn't impose
Real me doesn't control
Real me sprays musical prose
Real me prays affluent role
Real me will mind ride you hard
Real me will love like lark
Real me is covered in thorn and barb
Real me is me, The dark 🕶️

...Alive, survive
Love be light
Alive
Survive
Love be light 🕯️
Be life



Einstein said, "The most important decision you will make is whether you live in a hostile universe"


The main man's take on dark and light for me. We create negative and positive meaning. We discern what's good and bad. A conscientious collective consciousness is our greater good. Yes please... We all need to want that and we achieve it by actually learning our world and each other and all other beings. We are the only ones tagging on the reasoned meaning so the onus is on humanity and every individual. Freedom please so we can all have a go 🕯️We can choose to show empathy or apathy towards any idea or lifeform. Maybe we find that true universal empathy by imagining the world through other beings eyes as well as our own and coming to the conclusion that their frame of reference no matter how they sense this universe is as valid as the only eyes you'll ever have, your own. Even though we are apex predators, we are the only known predators that have the capacity to reason in great detail what all beings do! But we still kill them for reasons other then sustenance so let's stop that asap... Let's all decide like Einstein said and make this a positive place to live for more and more

Energetic mirrors! whether we like it or not 🫂

Lyrics

I can’t escape waiting for you to text back

I ruin myself for a single minute of a your time that feels like a century with you my love

I know that you don’t want me but i’d ruin myself just to talk to you

I don’t know what to call this feeling but i know that it’s something new to me

Maybe we could fall in love i don’t know it’s just a thought in the back of my mind

Maybe if you get to know me well you’ll see

I’ll ruin myself for you’re love just give me that chance

You know i’m always one plane ride away just to see you one day just like N Y L A

“My heart it burns yes it burns yes it burns we’re oceans away”

“And i’ll be asleep by the time you’re awake”

So i wrote you this song to say

I’ll ruin myself for you’re love just give me that chance and you’ll see one day

Ruin myself

Hello, Welcome to TBD.
All these creations are made by hard work and years upon years upon years of practice and trying to explain this world and the human condition to myself in the process through poems & songs. Thanks for all of your wonderful support.
Peace and Love to Everyone,
Carl Culliton


PS: The world needs good art and new ideas from the mindsets of artists living authentic lifestyles. In a world where we are poisoned by labels I think it's more honourable for humanity to show your true colours at the hard issues and lay them bare for a better future and in my opinion this should be more important then the success of whatever brand you are trying to create as a musician or artist. That's why I am The Beautiful Dark. My name is unlikely to help me become affluent and successful but it lays bare that this world has many dark inhumane ideas and mindsets to transcend and get on top of to move our existence on a path to a greater good for all life. So I'll do that for my children and I won't apologise for not trying to please people with any shallow so called truthful status quo. I'll share my actual truth from my whole being and you can use your own discernment to process that if you decide to embrace it. Cheers
