THE WORLD MISTAKES THE GENIUS FOR THE JERK, THE JERK FOR THE GENIUS, AND THE MEDIA PLAY A HUGE ROLE IN PERPETUATING THIS WARPED PERCEPTION!

This is an AMAZING TRACK! I love the guitar, the lyrics, and your signature vocals! You are one gifted writer and performer!

I BREAK ALL THE RULES DEFINING THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SIMPLY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THEM! 

AND BECAUSE THEY ARE UNFAMILIAR, UNPREDICTABLE, FROM ONE CREATION TO THE NEXT, ONE TUNE WILL ONLY TELL YOU AS MUCH AS READING ONE PAGE OF A NOVEL, AND ONE LISTEN, NO MORE THAN A PARAGRAPH :)

BABYLON AND ON (DEAD WOMAN WALKIN')

The​Real​Pryncezz​Pynk X CEM∆TES X TEN A BAG *PREVIEW*

THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE

THIS IS A NORTHERN SOUL INSTRUMENTAL CALL, ASTRAL TRIP. I'VE USED THE ORIGINAL MUSIC, SIMPLE WRITING LYRICS FOR IT, AND ADDING VOCALS.

THIS IS A SIDE PROJECT TO MY OWN MUSIC; THE TUNES I POST ON THIS PAGE ARE ALL OLD INSTRUMENTALS, MAINLY NORTHERN SOUL, BUT ALSO CULT THEMES--HENCE THE REASON WHY I USE THE ARTIST NAME, QUIRKY KARAOKE, AS THIS DESCRIBES THE CONCEPT EMPLOYED!

DEAD WOMAN WALKING (BABYLON AND ON)

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

SECURITY AND PEACE BEGAN HER THOUSAND YEAR REIGN

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

ALL THE TROUBLES OF THE WORLD
DISAPPEARING WITHOUT A REFRAIN

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

ONLY TRACES OF A CHECKERED PAST
AND FLEETING MEMORIES REMAIN

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

AS THE MIRACLES INCREASE
DEATH WILL DISAPPEAR AND THE PAIN

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

ONLY TRACES OF A CHECKERED PAST
AND FLEETING MEMORIES REMAIN

CITIZEN KANE CAUGHT THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO ZEN CITY
SHE HAS AN INTERESTING NAME
AND HE WANTED TO SEE HER AGAIN

HOPING ALL THAT WOULD COME TO PASS
WITHIN ONE PERFECT MOMENT
WOULD BE THE ONE THAT WOULD LAST
FOR ALL ETERNITY

WHEN SHE TAKES YOU IN HER ARMS
AND WHISPERS, COME TO ME
SHE OFFERS PERFECT LIFE
IN A PERFECT WORLD
WITHIN HER HEAVENLY CITY

SECURITY AND PEACE
BEGAN HER THOUSAND YEAR REIGN
ZEN CITY
PURITY AND FAITH
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE
ZEN CITY
ONLY TRACES OF A CHECKERED PAST
AND FLEETING MEMORIES REMAIN

will be adding more lyrics/vocals to next version

ZEN CITY voc version 1

TRANQUIL LIZA (UNDER SEDATION) tune I recorded early 1980's

I JUST CAN' T MAKE UP MY MIND ABOUT YOU - STE VAN HORNE & MIKE CLIFFE 1st Edit

SYNTHETIC MEN OF MARS inst

Howl (Short Version by AFC) 
BY ALLEN GINSBERG
Collab. Emily Sasson

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, 
starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves,
through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
I saw angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry 
dynamo in the machinery of night
 
Who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high ,
sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats,
floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz,
who cowered in unshaven listening to the Terror through the wall

I saw angels
I saw war
I saw marijuana, alcohol and jazz
I saw the heaven
I saw tragedy, drugs
I saw eternity with dreams and sunrise

I saw wine drunkenness over the rooftops, 
storefront boroughs of teahead joyride neon blinking traffic light,
sun and moon and tree vibrations in the roaring winter dusks of Brooklyn, 
ashcan rantings and kind king light of mind,

Who jumped in limousines with the Chinaman of Oklahoma ,
on the impulse of winter midnight, streetlight smalltown rain,
Who lounged hungry and lonesome seeking jazz or sex or soup, 
and followed the brilliant Spaniard to converse about America and Eternity

I saw angels
I saw war
I saw marijuana, alcohol and jazz
I saw the heaven
I saw tragedy, drugs
I saw eternity with dreams and sunrise

In the WRONG PLACE at THE WRONG TIME with THE WRONG MINDSET, apparently making THE #WRONG #MUSIC, but it feels #RIGHT to ME!

Don't take sides and I'll respect you for it; take sides and I'll treat you with the same contempt I treat anyone with a mob mentality, because mob mentality invariantly betrays an underlying intolerant right-wing mentality!
>
#SUPPORT gathers #MOMENTUM when #RECIPROCATED!
>
My tunes are ten times better than you might imagine!
>
A lack of listens proves nothing, other than the fact that no one is finding your tunes; it does not prove, as some believe, that your tunes must be crap, so don’t ever take such a ridiculous notion on board—on an internet FLOODED with music no listens rarely has anything to do with the quality of your music, your creative talent, is almost always down to the fact that the right audience can’t find your music, because finding it is now as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
>
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVERYTHING FOR SOMEONE!
>
For diversity and consistency, I am not hesitant in saying my Soundcloud pages house the most inventive creations on here. There are others making fabulous tunes, but no one is more prolific while maintaining a high standard of pole to pole invention, and that applies to the lyrics too. I won't escape obscurity and oblivion, but that proves nothing, the internet is way, way, WAY overcrowded with unsigned music, way too much mediocre stuff, which obscure anything exceptional out there; the wood hidden away behind lots and lots and LOTS of trees, and no one has the time to look for needles in haystacks, to find a diamond in the rough, it's just way too big a task, not humanely possible!

INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, DIVERSE MUSIC, INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, IMAGINATIVE LYRICS, but those are the last things the vast majority of listeners are looking for these days!
>
Me, I'm awestruck by musicians who can't be pigeonholed, who don't conform to any borders, who don't think about which direction each new creation will take, they just go wherever that creativity takes them; pure, on the fly, innovation, imperfect but 100% authentic, as far a way from manufactured, recipe book, regurgitation, as it is possible to get, totally unforced, inspirational and way, way, WAY outside the box! There ought to be a place for such creativity, there was at one time, but a mercenary music industry put an end to that, leaving us with a situation where those who deserve the most adoration for the talents receive the least!
>
Will this ever change, will a yearning for TRUE underground, creativity unique to the individual, ever return, or has the spoon-feeding gone to far this time, is its grip so vicelike nothing can break it!
>
I make #INVISIBLE music, perhaps it feels that way to you too!
#Overlooked, #Underrated, Dismissed Without A Listen!
>
When Soundclouders follow me or click like without leaving feedback, what is it they are hoping for? That I come listen to their tunes and heap praise on them, what? I mean really, what is the point of following someone, what is the point of liking one of their tunes, if you don't actual think they are deserving of feedback, if you don't think the tunes are as good as what you do???

EXPLODING THE MYTH THAT UNSIGNED IS UNSIGNED BECAUSE IT’S INFERIOR TO SIGNED MUSIC!

>
UNTIL this MYTH is blown out of the water we don’t have a cat in hells chance of breaking through. #TheMyth  is the BIGGEST obstacle that stands in our way, it is the FIRST hurdle we must get over, it is the message that should be going #VIRAL, it’s down to each & every one of you to make that happen!
>
#ExplodeTheMyth
>
Listening to just one of my tunes tells you nothing about my creative approach, listening to ten of my tunes will still tell you very little, listen to a hundred of my tunes and the penny will start to drop, but it's only after hearing 500+ of my creations and collaborations that your eyes will widen in amazement! 
However, if you don't have unlimited eclectic taste none of that applies, and the reality is, who, in this world, is going to listen to every tune I've created, no one--if even one tune is heard from beginning to end it's a minor miracle, because sadly, there is a belief that unsigned means inferior, but I've heard enough tunes by the rest of you guys to know that's a myth, that's bullshit, we create some of the most inventive, authentic, imaginative tunes out there!
Give me unsigned, independent and underground music over signed, safe, predictable, recipe book, music any day of the week!
>
I MAKE TUNES NO ONE WILL EVER LISTEN TO!
>
Some musicians & music fans don’t want to hear music from the past because they would have to acknowledge IT’S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE!
>
Finally come to terms with the fact that I'm PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and even I have to FORCE myself to listen!!!
>
My music and lyrics are all about different, but if no one listens no one will EVER know! 
#StevenVellou

I CREATE TUNES ON THE FLY; NO FORMULA, NO PLAN, NO DIRECTION; THEY JUST HAPPEN--I'M IGNORANT OF THE RULES INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SO I'M NOT BOXED IN BY THEM, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE SO VARIED AND UNPREDICTABLE!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meaningful yet tongue-in-cheek tunes that can’t be #PIGEONHOLED!
Great production ISN'T my forte, accomplished musicianship ISN'T my forte but #UndergroundInvention, #InfiniteDimensions & LYRICS are!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now I don't personally believe I'm in the same league as #Bowie, other than my lyrics, more often than not, making more sense, but I do think I share his ability to adapt to different genres, and his endless, diverse, creativity, just not quite on the same level.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm not proficient/accomplished on instruments, & I have other musical limitations, but most genres come natural to me, and I much prefer having that unforced ability to being highly accomplished on instruments, highly polished on production, or having the perfect voice!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If I didn't feel I had my own approach, if my music was easy to pigeonhole, I would have quit music a long time ago!
Never been about fame & fortune, just about pushing the boundaries without actually intending to push the boundaries; creativity that's second nature not formula! 
Yes, I want to reach an audience but making money from my music means nothing to me!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOT saying I’m THE MOST #talented musician on music promotion sites but I will say I’m one of the most #UNDERRATED! Even so, I would much rather be underrated than overrated!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

MY APPROACH HAS ALWAYS BEEN, LET WHATEVER WANTS TO COME OUT, COME OUT; NO PLAN, NO BOUNDARIES, NO FORMULA, AND ON THE FLY! HOPE THE DAY EVENTUALLY ARRIVES WHEN INNOVATION ONCE AGAIN REPLACES REGURGITATION, BUT, IN THE MEANTIME, IMITATION AND REGURGITATION CONTINUES TO GRAB THE AUDIENCE, WHICH IS BAD NEWS FOR THOSE OF US WHO INJECT OUR REAL PERSONALITIES INTO OUR TUNES :)
