Described as 'hook-laden, futuristic prog', Mutant-Thoughts’ own brand of genre-defying rock is a cunningly original amalgam of Latin-influenced beats, brooding synthscapes and restless rhythmic energy.

'Clearly one of those of those rare acts that have the drive, mercurial inspiration and integrity to go forth and become a crucial staple and influence of the national experimental scene' - Noizze UK

Hello, welcome to my page.

I've been making music since 1972. At the time, with Pedro Castro, we created the alternative rock band Petrus Castrus. 

The music I'm placing here is mostly from the home recordings of my ongoing projects and ideas. I created a few playlists (Inéditos) according to language:
Portuguese: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos
English: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-en 
Spanish: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-sp
French: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-fr
Italian: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-it

I also placed the concept album "Três Jardins" in a playlist. There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums, and corresponding playlists that gather some of their individual tracks. A playlist called Synergies gathers the collaboration projects with other musicians in the fantastic SoundCloud community

Petrus Castrus edited records can be found on Spotify and Soundcloud. See the Facebook Petrus Castrus page for more details, including comments about the recordings uploaded here. 

We are both amateur musicians, i.e. music lovers. As for me, I'm just an electrical engineer with a master in AI that really loves creating music and use it to share ideas. That is why all tracks include lyrics or texts.

By the way I'm not interested in third-party offers to boost the number of plays. I like it as it is, and I've always declined such offers. Thanks anyway. 

I don't repost much, just some tracks that I find outstanding and with very few plays, so I can help them to get better known. I believe that repost parsimony also makes life easier for those who follow me.

Enjoy!

*** UPDATE May 2025. Good news. The SC contractual terms have now been corrected, and our music will no longer be used for AI training. NOTE April 2025: It just came to my attention that, unless we do a separate contract, all our uploaded music in SC can be freely used for AI training. This is written down in the legal section, under the licensing paragraphs. What can (should) we do to change that? *** 

*** Note Dec 2024: Alas, AI generated content that is not disclosed as such is now being posted at an alarming rate, sometimes multiple tracks in a single day from fake artists that even write down fake introductions, saying how much they love music that comes from the heart. Please avoid reposting these deceptions, it only adds to the confusion.  And it encourages the algorithms to give them preference. ***

*** NOTE June 2024: Generative AI is becoming amazingly powerful. Nothing against it. Just to avoid the confusion and embarrassment of finding ourselves praising and encouraging mindless algorithms, I believe it would be nice for us to always disclose its usage in our tracks. What do you think?  ***

FORTNT
Even in times of trouble there are stories of people who find the courage to make up their mind for the better. They strive to succeed in something they always wanted to do. A hunger for more things to explore as the world around you just keeps on living the same way. Change is everything we want in our hearts.


FORTNT started making music when he was young. Age is not that important but when he started to discover music he didn't have a normal childhood. Raised up in a strong religious family he was more interested in the world outside of his happy home and little village. Even on school he couldn't find what he was looking for, until the music took hold of him. His ticket to paradise was finally there, he became musician.



Just get along with his music and feel free to share it to the rest of the world!



Peace & Love

Cure for Gravity is Chris Gamper (Drums), Joe Markert (Vocals, Keys, Guitars) and Dave Walcott (Guitars, Vocals.) Hailing from Berkeley, CA this trio delivers an entrancing amalgam of atmospheric synth/alt rock that is all encompassing at times invoking the Clash or Rush but with a fast forward taste of more recent groups like Elbow or Feist.

Casa de Flores is a San Francisco/Los Angeles based project consisting of two cousins and their friends.
