Listening Post: Batch 542

'Ruminant Julius Caesar' is both a song about unconscious bias within research methodologies and science of deer social behaviour and organisation, but it's also about the importance of being the kind of human being who's truly open to others' perspectives. With it's staggered drums and driving bass and purposeful piano, it's a Bristol-feeling pastoral piece.

Live Your Dreams

A teaser from Christa Vi's debut album, this song continues to showcase her confident synthpop direction, whilst retaining songwriting and personal lyrics as the focus. 'Every Time ' is a simple lament about the round-a-bout emotions of remaining in a dysfunctional relationship.

Thin White Dude - Weird s***...and some other stuff too.

Since childhood I have had a love of music. At school I played the trumpet (badly) and piano (even worse). I first started creating my own music about 10 years ago when I got a demo of the Sony ACID software with a new PC sound-card I bought. Since then I have continued to make and re-mix music, although with some long breaks in between. I have recently been picked up by a number of media-music firms that specialise in television, cinema and radio.

My greatest (musical) achievement to date (apart from a number of recent BBC Radio air-plays), is one of my Sony contest re-mixes winning a prize of ‘The Listeners Award’ – it’s always good to get that peer judgement. The mix was also used on a commercially released EP by Intergalactic Faerie Funk, although I actually only discovered this recently after Googling my artist name (true story).
