Regardless Of What You Think (Ste Van & Tiho)

Hi and welcome to my main music page!

When i create any piece of music ,it takes me away for a while ,and if you are kind enough to take a few moments to listen to any of my tracks ,and find yourself somewhere else
even if just for a little while ,well , i would be more than flattered if you come and said hi!

Music is my therapy ,and is the soundtrack to our lives :)

Thank you for the support!

CREATING TUNES THAT MEAN SOMETHING.....IT'S ABOUT BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES!

IN MY OPINION, ONE I HOPE IS ONE DAY SHARED BY THE VAST MAJORITY (BUT I THINK THAT DAY WILL BE A LONG TIME COMING), IS THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF SO-CALLED CELEBRITIES SUCK!

IT'S A SAD SITUATION WHERE SO MANY LIVE THEIR LIVES THROUGH THE EYES OF CELEBRITIES, HANGING ON THEIR EVERY WORD, EVEN THOUGH MUCH OF WHAT COMES OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS IS SUPERFICIAL CRAP!

IN THE MUSIC WORLD, THE SIGNED MUSICIAN  TENDS TO BE OF THE SHALLOW, SUPERFICIAL, VARIETY, CHURNING OUT PREDICTABLE GARBAGE, SUSTAINED BY MEDIA HYPE,  AND AN ABUNDANCE OF VILE ROCK STAR-STYLE POSTURING!

IT IS TO THE DETRIMENT OF ALL UNSIGNED MUSICIANS THAT DON'T FALL INTO THE WANNABE CATEGORY, THAT THE VAST MAJORITY ARE DUPED BY THE AURA OF FAME, SO INTOXICATED BY IMAGE AND HYPE, 

THAT THEY DON'T SEE THESE CELEBRITIES FOR THE CRETINS THEY REALLY ARE; THAT THE TUNES THEY CHURN OUT ARE DEVOID OF PERSONALITY AND CREATIVITY!

WORTHLESS, DISPOSABLE AND PREDICTABLE, SUCH TUNES SHOULD BE CONSIGNED TO THE DUSTBIN; INSTEAD, THEY BECOME AN EMBARRASSING PART OF MANKIND'S HISTORY!

FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL LOOK BACK ON THESE TIMES AS THE CREATIVE ERA THAT REACHED AN ALL TIME LOW, WHEN THE PUBLIC WAS SPOON FED ALL THINGS SUPERFICIAL, TACKY AND CRASS, AND LAPPED IT UP WILLINGLY!

BECAUSE CRASS IS KING, EXCEPTIONALLY GIFTED UNSIGNED ARTISTS WILL NEVER ESCAPE OBSCURITY! IN A JUST WORLD, IT WOULD BE SO-CALLED CELEBRITIES WHO ARE CONSIGNED TO OBLIVION, BUT THIS IS NOT A JUST WORLD!

SO-CALLED CELEBRITIES ARE THE MORTAL ENEMY OF UNSIGNED ARTISTS; IF YOU ARE A PARTY TO FEATHERING THEIR NESTS, FEEDING THE MYTH THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE KIND OF TALENT WORTHY OF SUCH PRAISE AND ADULATION, YOU ARE HAMMERING NAILS INTO YOUR OWN COFFIN!

THE CHAIN TUNES PROJECT (collective band name: THE CHAIN TUNES GANG)

BASED ON THE CHAIN LETTERS PRINCIPLE

A musician lays down an initial track and forwards ti to several musicians, they each add a second track and forward it to several more, and so on.

A universal format, like Cubase, would help, as it would mean the whole folder for each song could be sent to the next musician in the chain.

Each step of the process would also need to be sent back to me, so I can keep a record of it all, including details about each musician involved, their links and an email address, so you would also need to forward, to each participating musician, my email address together with the song files.

IF YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO BE INVOLVED, SEND ME A MESSAGE TOGETHER WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS. I HAVE A CHAIN TUNES PAGE ON HERE AND ON REVERBNATION, WHERE TUNES BEING USED IN THE PROJECT WILL BE POSTED, AND AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD.

I will give more detailed instructions to musicians who sign up.

THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO COLLABORATING, RESULTING IN MULTIPLE VARIATIONS ON A THEME. THIS TYPE OF COLLABORATING HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE—I KNOW THAT FOR CERTAIN—SO MUSICIANS THAT SIGN ON TO THIS PROJECT WOULD BE INVOLVED IN SOMETHING GROUNDBREAKING, AND SOMETHING THAT IS SURE TO GRAB THE ATTENTION OF THE MEDIA, AS LONG AS EVERYONE INVOLVED TAGS ANY TUNE THEY UPLOAD TO ANY PERSONAL PAGE IS ALWAYS TAGGED AS A CHAIN TUNES GANG collaboration.

For many of us, this could be the stepping stone we are looking for; a simple concept so revolutionary that it could put us on the map, setting world records along the way, but the important factor, which would be the difference between grabbing the public's attention and not grabbing it, is sticking to using THE CHAIN TUNES GANG collaboration name whenever completed and uploaded, wherever they happen to be uploaded.

So think about the underlying concept here; it is a simple one, but that's what makes it brilliant!  ALL TUNES ON THIS PAGE ARE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD TO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO PARTICIPATE! 

I may invade political territory, but, in actuality, I’m a #HUMANITARIAN #SOCIALIST who believes....

#EMPATHY is the KEY to SOCIAL EVOLUTION!

In contrast, POLITICS are a source of divisiveness, exploitation, cynical manipulation & control!

fridur110490@gmail.com Head of hydrus is a one man band and all the songs are recorded through mbox by me at my home,
and my intention is to record them in studio later. https://www.facebook.com/HeadofHydrusband/

The Untitled One

A darker collection of work exploring the themes of death, birth and the space in between the two. Life is a continuous stream and birth and death happen as events on the stream. 


NEW EP - En-Trance-D

Trance or achieving a Trance-like state is a spiritual experience. It can take to an experience of reality that is beyond normal every day thinking. Nature has designed us well, we are beings of light as much as the stars in the heavens, we are made in the image of the divine cosmic universe to which we are linked. Trance can take us back home, back to the stars, while still being on the Earth. All we need is the music, let your body and mind go and let the music take you home. 

 SINGLE - HERE I STAND-

The "Here I Stand" single is an expression of the deepest aspects of myself. The raw places in my soul that I have travelled to over the last years of my life. The places I felt I needed to let go and the places I needed to stand firm and resist the temptation to capitulate to a way of being that didn't honour my true self. The Goddess Ishtar journeyed to hell and back to save her lover and in the process she had to shed seven veils or layers of her personality (hence the dance of the seven veils) Its not really about being physically naked, thats easy, but getting emotionally naked.

MORE ABOUT IN THIS MODE

The moment I heard the opening few bars of Gary Numan’s “Are Friends Electric” my life changed. It was like a doorway opened into a new reality for me. An alien landscape that I felt oddly at home in. Music featured strongly in my childhood growing up as the younger brother of one of the founding fathers of punk rock in Australia. I began my musical life with intensity and have never really looked back. But from that moment back in 1979 synthesisers and electronic music have been an integral part of my musical expression. Along the way I have played in a couple of synth bands, studied classical piano, cello and recorder including a stint in the local symphony orchestra. Far and away the most creative thing I have done in my life is to become a parent. Its the agony and ecstasy of this that has I believe led to “In This Mode”. At any one time I operate in a different mode or role all of which are aspects of who I am but none of them completely defining me and so all the while I am a parent living through the roller-coaster ride of emotions that can involve another part of me is creating musical ideas.

Musical influences are probably to numerous to mention but heres some of it, some of the giants  of electronic music, Gary Numan, John Foxx, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Visage, Human League, Tangerine Dream leading into The Shaman, The KLF, Front 242,  Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins,  Sisters of Mercy, Orbital, Dead Can Dance and more recently Assemblage 23, VNV nation, and Royksopp just to name a few. Along the way lots of classical music found its way in there and a bit of Jazz as well. The list really is to long to list so I won’t but my thanks to any one who has ever provided musical inspiration. In This Mode is a reincarnation of a once dormant aspect of my  creative self using synthesisers and technology to create electronic dance, synth pop, downtempo and ambient music to put into form what has been formless for sometime.

Well it looks like this site has changed quite a bit lol. I guess the best thing to do is hit "TRACKS",  SC gets to choose your top tracks(which could be your worst loI)
I love the community that I have found in Sound Cloud. How great is it to show our music to each other? So wonderful to have built relationships with many of you. I look forward to hearing new tracks very much but miss them on the stream no doubt, PLEASE send me your track if you got something you are proud of, I would love to hear it!!!  I have been broadened musically each time I press play and appreciate more than words the feedback I have received on my tracks. I will reciprocate to anyone who spends time here because after we start commenting on each others tracks, we are no longer followers but friends. The amount of followers doesn't matter in the slightest. What matters are the friends who care enough to share in each others creations.  Hey, I know I have a weird sound and I can be hard to listen to but when I recorded it  I was alive, I felt it and I did it!! :)

All tracks  are recorded in a spontaneous manner typically in a single take. Most lyrics are also spontaneous improvisations derived from the feelings of the moment. We let the guitar and drums interact and the music just happens. Most if not all of the music is inspired from this interaction.

The recording equipment up until January 2019 consisted of a dated Fostex 8 track and a few microphones...We simply lay down a guitar and drum track and let it unfold the way you are hearing it by bouncing tracks. We just have to make music to live. Music of any kind, music that speaks for itself... 

In January 2019 recording equipment was upgraded to Logic X and a UA Apollo MKll Quad Core Recording interface...We entered a new building and still trying to find the light switch so bare with us as we keep lighting matches...
