I was a small boy when a parcel arrived from my father; he split when we were young and he had brought some Christmas presents after years of separation. The package contained books, games, an electronics set and a small metal xylophone. I made my way to the dining room, closing the door behind me and spent the entire evening striking these bars of steel - amazed by their sonic resonance. The sound ringing out was neither melodic nor in time, but the possibilities and opportunity to transform emotion into sound was the most fulfilling experience.

The next few years passed tinkering with electronics and taking apart old radios; I soon learned the differences between 9 and 240 volts and I’m not sure how I survived so many fizzing jolts!

At 11, I figured out how to amplify my mono tape deck and slow the internal motor speed whilst recording…..at proper playback this would produce high pitched vocals. It wasn’t long before I glued on a potentiometer for easier adjustment of the speed and had endless fun making my own sound effects and emulating Pinky and Perky. By far though, the most notable music influence on my young life to date was Mrs Davies - my form tutor and music teacher at the Grange Junior School. I was playing rhythm section in her school orchestra, not drums and rock and roll I’m afraid, but claves, guiro’s and all manner of clickety-clackety, chimey-whimey things.

It was in my final weeks of juniors in the late 70’s when the epiphanic event took place. Mrs Davies was cool enough to play us Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds on reel to reel tape.....it was scary, exciting and truly inspirational. Apart from the symphonic beauty, I was struck by two new sound experiences, which I later discovered were the saw tooth wave synth sounds and the harmonics and feedback of electric guitars. Sounds I had never heard before, but would go onto be my staple in my future music. I had one thing on my Christmas list that year and how lucky I felt when I opened what would be my most played record – The double gatefold War Of The Worlds.

Other early auditory experiences were listening to my twin brother's blue transistor radio. Alan and I shared a room and spent many evenings listening to euro pop on Radio Luxemburg as well as European football commentary in medium wave (which would always go off frequency at the best bits!)

A transition then into comprehensive school and I was lucky enough to receive hand me down cassettes and cassette players from my older sister Carol. These were very much appreciated as my usual hand me downs consisted of crochet tank-tops, flared jeans and other fashion crimes (one parent families wore jumble sale clothes and queued in the ‘free dinner’ line). It was the 80’s now and my TDK and Maxwell tapes were full of Gary Numan, Thompson Twins, OMD, and all top 40 stuff from the radio I guess. I had 4 of these tape machines and I enjoyed editing bits and pieces together, constructing my own tape mixes and making my own extended remixes – the skill was in the timing of the pause button and could take hours to get a perfectly timed passage.

At school I noticed my friend Sean disappearing from dreaded French lessons with a small black case. Turns out that he’s a whiz on the cornet and unfortunately, brass lessons clashed with French - apparently, all I needed to do was to convince the head of music that I was interested in learning a musical instrument. When I told Mrs Thompson that I wanted to play trumpet, she carefully checked my timetable. “Oh dear, what a shame” she says….”brass music lessons are on Friday mornings – you will be missing double French”  I hope I managed to look disappointed!

Coming from a one parent family, I was given the trumpet on loan and only had to pay £5 per term for the lessons.

I had many good years learning music from Mr Leese, who also ran the Fleet brass band. By this time there were three of us taking brass lessons at school - Sean.K on cornet was the talented and his parents were from a musical background, Sean.S on euphonium and myself on a 2nd hand trumpet. I remember Sean’s dad taking us to practice in his yellow automatic Triumph dolomite. I didn’t stick at the trumpet lessons, but I have fond memories performing in a few concerts and events, but more crucially, learned the (very) basics of musical theory.

At 13, my first ‘keyboard’ was the Casio VL tone from Dixons; it was easy to confuse it with a musical calculator and this £30 novelty was notably used to make the hit Da Da Da by Trio - a hit in 30 countries no less! As with all early electronic instruments, the presets consisted of cheap sounding piano, violin, guitar and flute, but for me the magic was in the ‘programmable synthesizer ‘ which used oscillators and envelops. In-fact cheesy as it was, I learned all my basic envelope skills from this thing.

It was during these years the next big influence hit my musical timeline - Rockit  by Herbie Hancock. Powerful drum machines, jazzy keyboards, electronic bass sounds and what on earth was that sound.... ch ch chwooosh and chukka chukka chukka!!. It was of course scratching and it wasn’t so much Herbie Hancock that smashed into my timeline, but the incredible DJ scratch mixer on the album Grandmixer D.St. This would be the gateway into a whole new scene........

The whole electro, break-dance and graffiti scene was exploding in the UK and I found a movement which I would be part of for the next 5 years, learning about DJ’s, breakbeats, sampling, drum machines and the 4 elements - these were the golden years of Hip Hop.

It was at this time that I started hanging around with another school mate, Steve; we would walk the same way to school and chat about music and stuff. He was a good skateboarder and was altogether more eclectic - he had also become a decent body popper. Discussing hobbies, we were amazed that the other had also been doing tape edits and mixes and shared similar tastes in music. It wouldn’t be long before we worked out how to scratch and mix records and a turntable addiction was soon upon us. I often think of my long suffering mother.....finally free from the din of my trumpet, soon to be replaced with a bedroom DJ (she was oblivious to the future arrival of my Fender Stratocaster many years later!). A healthy addiction for vinyl took 2 forms - Weekly trips to Greek Street in London to the Mecca of imported Hip Hop – Groove Records. The other addiction was crate digging for the rare, obscure and something original to add to the collection to cut up on the decks. The scratch mixes we put together were often played on the estate we grew up on played on those boom boxes for breakers to dance to. We would also walk into expensive Hi-Fi shops and play our mixes on equipment we had no intention to purchase; mixing was still a new art form then, so we often attracted a crowd. Our young egos would love the attention and we often headed towards Dixons to play the keyboards – we had learned the Axel F tune and our party piece was Bambaataa’s Theme.

There was another transition into college, where I studied science and electronics and would have plenty of time to DJ and apply my new knowledge of waveforms and circuits.

The turntable stuff was wholly gratifying, but I still yearned to make the music I was mixing. Enter the era of Roland keyboards and drum machines. I would spend days analysing every note of every bar to songs, working out how they were constructed and sequenced. It was the first time I really deconstructed music in my head and it taught me so much about composition and programming. It wasn’t good enough for me just to get the notes right, I wanted to know how to match the sound exactly and achieve the same timbre.

I would spend nights tweaking filters and sliders until the sound coming out of my keyboard was as close as the technology allowed; It was a satisfying process which was so rewarding when the results turned out good - to hear a pretty close replica of a Kraftwerk tune or a film theme was a stepped progression for me. These cover versions helped me understand the equipment’s possibilities (and limitations!) and together with my earlier trumpet lessons, formed a foundation to build my own compositions. My DJ years had also broadened my musical influences and by now I was listening to soul, funk, rock, psychedelica, electronica, classical, dance, hip hop, acid, jazz and the weird world of sound effects and spoken word.

In-fact it was while watching the film Ordinary People that I am moved by a piece of music – Pachelbel’s Canon sung by a choir, awoke something inside and made me realise how music can convey feelings and emotion – perhaps then, the possibility that I might be able to let my thoughts and feeling flow into my music. The very next day I head down to Our Price record shop and ask if they have Canon in D minor. They were far more used to me buying 12” remixes every week and I did feel strange asking them to play this classical piece. I asked them to play it before I brought it, just in case I had got this wrong, but wow...the very first bars of these haunting strings confirmed that this was indeed the music I heard from the film and once again invoked an emotional feeling.

Demo tapes, shouts on Mike Allen’s Capital radio show and new friends from new towns were additional aspects of these years and Jasen would become close friends with Steve and myself and would also become our rapper as MC Quid.

Most of my music making at this stage was highly influenced by electronic sounds, but as a teenager growing up, 2 bands would also have a parallel impact - the words and ideals that U2 and The Alarm stood for rang a chord with a youngster asking all the same questions. I would go on to see them many times in concert and their music would stay with me for the next 30 yrs. Perhaps it was these influences (obsessions) that led me to buy my first guitar....

I brought my acoustic guitar from the same place I shopped for trumpet accessories earlier in life - Boosey and Hawkes in Aldershot was hardly hip, but was the established place for all things musical. I remember getting the guitar home and locking myself away to try it out; it was the same process as the 6 year old boy on his xylophone, discovering how to create the sound. I brought a book and set about learning the basic chords and practicing the co-ordination between left and right hand. The blisters on the fingers were painful and this organic sound was far less forgiving than my electronic sequencers - when I got it wrong, it sounded terrible! This would actually spur me on, as I found it frustrating that I couldn’t get my guitar to sound like the records I listened to. The frustration just motivated me to practice more and learn guitar tablatures from books (this was pre-internet days, so I couldn’t just Google it). I brought music videos to study how the greats were doing it, but as with most art forms, I realised that it’s the practice and creativity which make all the difference.

It wasn’t long before I wanted to sound like The Edge from U2, so I brought a Telecaster from a neighbour and a 30 watt amp. The solid body and heavy gauge strings were hard going and the absence of distortion & delay couldn’t reproduce the songs I was listening to. After much saving, I get my 1st Strat, which was a deep red one just like Hank Marvin’s. I fit it with lighter gauge strings and purchase a boss distortion pedal and a digital delay. At last! This was it, these were the sounds I wanted to make; dotted delays and harmonics.......and it had a whammy bar – Nice!

Once again my poor mother had to put up with me trying to work out riffs and chords, again this was before the dawn of software, presets and midi files, so the constant repetition of the same 10 seconds of songs must have been annoying for everyone else in the house; to me though, I was making  rock music.

For the second time in my life I was profoundly affected by a piece of classical music. This time it was Dvorak’s New World Symphony and unlike my earlier encounter with the classics, this track filled me with inspiration and drive. You could say it was a catalyst for change and a soundtrack to figure out a strategy to make the transition from boy to man. (I later sampled this track as a testament and recognition of the impact it had during this time of change)

Thankfully, for my mother this era would not last long as I was soon to leave home and get my first flat with my girlfriend Michelle (who would later become my wife) and like me, she was a fan U2 and we would go to many concerts. As I was doing the DJ thing in my teens, Michelle was into the rock scene and a keen biker; like me she was a fine purveyor of vinyl and boasted an impressive collection of classic rock...these gems would all be new musical experiences waiting for me when we would eventually get together.

We are all in our 20’s now and my friends and fellow muso’s start to drift apart finding new directions, new relationships, and new careers. It was like the strategy I was piecing together under the influence of Dvorak’s Symphony was starting to come to fruition.

During this time Steve and Jasen formed a grunge band called Peach Razor - Steve on bass and Jace on lead vocals; they enjoyed local notoriety and published 2 tracks for the snakebite city records series. We are all on our personal journeys carving out our future paths, but music remains as a constant and forms the soundtrack of our lives.

Steve, Jace and I would all remain in contact and hook up at various stages with various musical projects.

Invisible Energy Temple was the reformation of one time DJ partner and life-long friend Steve. Our music was an eclectic mix of samples, keyboards and drum machines with added noises coming from the guitars and bass we had learnt in recent years. Our music was not exactly crafted but moreover, the recordings of 2 friends jamming and in complete synchronicity with each other.

Scale was the next project I undertook with Jase, who earlier rapped with Def Cut Duo and was the original vox with Peach Razor. Scale was a cocktail of some thought provoking lyrics, pop style keys and guitars, backed with some breakbeats for old-time sake! These recordings were probably the most commercially viable, but did not turn out to be a long term project. I remain particularly fond of these tracks and wonder what could have become if we had pursued this project.

Once again an old partnership formed a new band – Wilowherb saw Steve and Bulli back in business, but this time with a psychedelic attitude and some more electronics. Wah wah’s and dot delays are ever present and we start to record on 4 track! A diet of hip hop, Ozric’s, ambient and electronica shape our sound. It was a perfect match of my techy electronics, symphonic aspirations and my hippy friend who ensured our compositions remained cool and psychedelic......left to my own devices I would morph into a Numanesque-Ultravoxian-Orchestral manoeuvred state of synthesis (Steve would jokingly label me OMD – Orchestral Martin in the Dark!!!) – These recordings produced some accomplished pieces like Tenalp and Swamp trip; our tracks were never shorter than 10 minutes and often lasted the length of a cassette.

Later in life I recorded under the name of Prismonix - it was meant to be a whole concept of white noise in and colour sound out; I think I was starting to lose focus at this point and had to find a way to free the sounds in my mind......my journey had seen the 6 year old boy absorbing so many new sounds and experimenting along the way.....the young Mix Maestro became the Unique DJ, hung up the decks for drum machines and keyboards, claimed another string to his bow with his Fender Stratocaster until the birth of Virtual Instruments.....here I had it all inside the convenience of a computer and a new era would begin. After several remixes and postings on the net I shed the prismonix concept and entered my final re-incarnation as Bulli ™

Using FL studio as my main sequencer and recording software, I bring together all that I have learned and start to record over 150 pieces of music and pour all my thoughts and experiences into digital recordings. I design my own website and publish my work on Bulli Space.com. I partake in many forums helping other musicians and receive invaluable feedback, which help me with mastering techniques and equalization.

In 2010 I realise a boyhood dream and publish my first album on iTunes. Humanism is a collection of Instrumentals inspired by life, death, spiritualism and all the bits in between….Sapience is the 2nd album and is planned for release in 2012…….

A lifelong multimedia artist with international awards and clients in multimedia arts, JACK ANDREWS has composed electronic ambient music for his his new album "Infinity of the Mind" and two other albums "Consciousness Evolving" and "Electrokinesis", with a fourth album currently "in the works" . His music appears in the PBS series "History Detectives."

In addition, he has worked with Medwyn Goodall, written music for investigative mythologist William Henry, and composed a themed work, "The Orion Zone," for author Gary David. His work has appeared in "Ancient American" and "Atlantis Rising" magazines and several books.

He describes his songwriting as: "The music I compose is written in a state of being similar to meditation and what has been termed channeling. Before starting a composition, I sit quietly and wait for the cosmos to show me where to begin. I search through sounds in digital synthesis and then listen…for a given sound that reflects most accurately a part of what is being “channeled” through me. I then manipulate that sound, fine-tuning it to match the message of the whole and add it to the emerging composition.

Living out in the Arizona desert for thirty years has influenced everything I do. The spectacular night skies in the Sonoran Desert are a direct space portal. Through music we can enter that portal."
None of my songs are "mixes" of sample banks. All sounds are synthesizer(s) based modified patches or presets or created as new presets, lending to unique compositions.

I love video games, reading books and good music to match my mood

The Sedona Effect is a female fronted Dark Electro band from Brooklyn, NY that blends EBM with Dark Wave and Industrial elements into a unique mix. It was founded in May 2013 as the solo project of Kai Irina Hahn, a singer/actress/director/playwright from Germany. Kai is a classically trained lyrical Soprano who specialized in art songs while living in London. Inspired by New York's dark beauty, roughness, filth and the stories of the city, she swapped the piano with a synthesizer after moving to Brooklyn and started making music with various electronic musicians going back to her early musical endeavors. Instead of vibrato and high pitches, her vocals are distorted, whispery, husky and sexy. Musical collaborators of the Sedona Effect so far are Preston Krafft (Cross the Line) and Matt Hart (Gloomy Sunday/ I Burn).  As well as in her theater work Kai explores with The Sedona Effect the dark sides of femininity, sexuality and borderline experiences, that question reality.

What is the Sedona Effect?
We all have seen geese fly north in the spring. How do they know which way north is? It's simple, they have concentrations of magnetite in their inner ear fluid. The magnetite acts as part of a biological compass for the geese. Studies have shown women typically have higher concentrations of magnetite in their inner ear fluid than men. Therefore they are more receptive to subtle electromagnetic energies. There have been many books written on the special "Vortex" energy found in Sedona. Unlike the process of hearing which relies on mechanical vibration (the ear drum), to produce electrical impulses to the brain, the magnetite, as a receptor produces the impulses that through additional processes stimulate the temporal lobes of the brain. Sedona is a hub for vortex energies, anomalies in the electromagnetic field... Anomalies in our brain and how certain places affect it be it through technology or geomagnetism seemed a fantastic match to lend its name to a musical project that explored  the emotional struggle of the border-crossing, torn and distorted soul that is affected by its surrounding. 

Lars Young: The Anti-Jerk/Anti-Skinny Jean Guy

What do you do when everyone around you is talking loud, but they ain’t saying nothing? You create a bootleg studio in your home and you put the truth on a track. That’s what Los Angeles born rapper, Lars Young, has done with his first single “Do You Jerk? Do You Wear Skinny Jeans?” Calling himself the “Anti-jerk”, Lars put the pen to the pad and put the opinions of many people to a beat. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against jerking or the movement. I would never knock the youth for doing something positive and being creative, I just don’t understand why they have to wear skinny jeans to do it”, he says while laughing. “I’m just saying what other people don’t have the resources to say. Not everyone can create and record a song to voice their opinion.”

Dating back to his early years, Lars has always had a love of music. He started playing drums in the choir of Greater Ebenezer Baptist Church while his mother and sister sang, and then moved on to creating his own beats on his computer. “I used HipHop EJay and just spent time perfecting beats. My sister would write and sing to them.” After seeing what could be done with them, he was inspired to put his own words to use. “I’d been writing rhymes in composition books for years. I started practicing and I would go to the laundry room and record from radio to radio. I used to get in trouble cause I would take my mom’s cassettes tapes and stuff tissue in them so I could record over them.” At 16, he completed a full disc of music that he circulated amongst his friends and by college he had won several talent shows.

The recent jerking dance craze and skinny jean trend has swept the nation and caused controversy in the process. “I saw what was happening, and everybody was thinking it, so I said what everyone was thinking. We all know that jerking started as a hood dance, and that skinny jeans used to be associated with metrosexuals and white boys”, states the fledgling artist. Lars used down time at his night shift job at the oil refinery to compose a song to address the trend. He then recorded it and created a video. “No one wanted to help me with it, so I did it at home by myself.”

He put the video on YouTube, and 60,000 hits later, it’s spreading like wildfire. To capitalize on its popularity, he created LarsYoungMusic on MySpace and began his own printing operation at home. “I did a photo shoot, created a graphic, and burned my song to disc. I've been giving it to anyone that's interested.” Hoping for it to reach the right hands, Lars has been burning his discs one by one praying that someone gives it the publicity it deserves.

“It's not a diss track at all. I made it for everyone, and it's a jerk style beat. It's a parody of the whole sensation. I want people to hear my track, dance, and laugh all at the same time.”

It's 2012 and Lars Young Drops His New Single "Welcome to the West" off of the debut album "Lars Young Music". Please download the much anticipated original music on iTunes, Google Music, and AmazonMP3 - Lars Young Music. Lars Young has been making quality music in the Los Angeles area since 1999 and has a solid fan base to prove it. His passion for music started in the 5th grade and it shows in his professionalism and knowledge of the business to match his stage presence. Lars Young has been approached by record labels and offered contracts that have not yet been suited to his liking. Thus far, Lars Young's business sense has helped him thrive in the Independent market. He has fully funded all of his music production  and video projects independently to secure as much rights to his distribution as possible. For business inquiries please check the links below:

ENDLAGER was founded 2012 as I liked to publish my one man band songs to a public. Took 5 years until I set them all with newer ones to the net. 
I got a ran from not a spin off  NBB Nordic Blues Bear as not all my jams match to ENDLAGER, where like occulta historical facts published by archives and in books find a place.  As must be hidden facts which form a complete new world view as speaking about facts not allowed to speak. Conspiracies and else as scolars world wide from 2001 or more 2002 had been as some before their books taken away.  Banks and other politcal agendas. Empyrium Illuminatum fatum  - Martyr of God.

And NBB just for ran from not spin off of ENDLAGER as some blues and rock licks not matching to the ENDLAGER.

It may come as a surprise to hear the strains of Appalachian and Americana music channeled through five guys from Los Angeles, CA, but heartache, loss and regret have always been the cornerstones of great music, and this city has more than its share. In a town better known for porn stars and face lifts, anything as authentic and heartfelt as Roses's Pawn Shop is a pleasant surprise.

Singer/songwriter Paul Givant grew up on the same disparate array of popular musical styles as any other late 20th century kid. In that mishmash of Rock, Punk, Country, Pop, and Rap, it was American Folk and Bluegrass that rooted deepest in Paul, transforming him and his songs. Having made the rounds in various rock bands since early high school, Paul decided it was time to take his growing batch of new folk-oriented songs and create a band that could deliver this material the way he imagined it sounding.

As so many fortuned events have unfolded, it was through a series of chance meetings, twists of fate, and a little help from Craigslist, that Paul met kindred spirits in Stephen Andrews, John Kraus, Tim Weed and Christian Hogan. Together they began building the music and the band that would soon become Rose's Pawn Shop. They combined, in their collective musical melting pot, the old style American sounds of Woody Guthrie, Bill Monroe, and Hank Williams with a higher energy approach more reminiscent of modern Alt-Rock, all with a deeply melodic songwriting sensibility. The goal was to create a sound that was unique, yet imbued with a sense of familiarity.

The final ingredient was added one fateful day when Paul's scorned ex-girlfriend/former band-mate, Rose, in an act of revenge, stole the band's gear and instruments from their practice space and brought it down to the local pawn shop. Priceless! The match was lit ... and Rose's Pawn Shop was born! (Of course, not until after they got their gear out of hock!)

In 2010, the near-current line-up of the band recorded the album "Dancing on the Gallows," and the band began hitting the road. Once the final line-up was locked in, they began touring the United States more consistently and have ever since. On any given night, you could find Rose's Pawn Shop playing the Georgia Theatre in Athens, busking the streets of Jackson Square in New Orleans, opening for Jack White and The Raconteurs at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, ripping the walls off the club in their month long residence at the Parkside Lounge in New York City, or hitting the main stages of prestigious festivals such as Floydfest in Virginia and Wakarusa in Arkansas. The band is out there, growing their music, iginiting their passion, and converting an ever-increasing congregation of fans.

With an arsenal of guitars, banjo, thumping upright bass, fiddle and drums, delivering neo-classical-sounding melodies and lyrics, their sound is a wholesome mishmash of creek mud, rusty nails and your mom's cookin'. It's sincere, straight-forward and sexy as fuck, effortlessly combining such disparate musical styles as rock, country, bluegrass, and punk to create an incomprehensibly smooth and accessible sound for true believers and skeptics alike.

They confront traditional country music themes of loss, lamentation, and redemption, with a couple of drinking songs for good measure. Sure, they're borrowing pages from the books of Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, and Johnny Cash, but Rose's Pawn Shop takes those pages, tears them up and sets them on fire with three and four part vocal harmonies and lyrics that'll break your heart.

Something happens when you hear these songs. No matter how low you've sunk, something in the music finds you. It picks you up and carries you home.

As of Spring 2014, Rose's Pawn Shop has a new album in the can, produced and mixed by Ted Hutt (Old Crow Medicine Show, Gaslight Anthem, Dropkick Murphy's). The band is working on potential release dates now, so stay tuned!
