The Master

4D Suite

This is the track that encapsulates the Signal, it and Channel One are the key to the plan, but the label hears something they cannot promote, the pushback is real and to go on requires love and not to let the small things get in the way, no one said it would be easy, but it need not be hard either, it just needs to be.

N Liten Up

The writing is on the wall, too bad everyone that reads it, reads something different. Why is there always another box inside the bigger one? Will he ever finish this project that’s been practically sending him over the edge? The pill popping and the booze seems to be a Hellywood ritual. The police arrive at the hotel and a tearful room service employee tells anyone who wants to hear that WC is Jesus Christ. Is this happening because of him or just around him? Is this even happening? He was just standing there.

Big Stress

WC exits the rabbit hole. The signals are being processed, received and transmitted. This will go worldwide. Welcome to the sonic/cerebral/spiritual trip that is N Liten Up.

The Holy Man's Plea

A musical genius born of Frank Zappa, honed by Missing Persons, a talent matured to award-winning international acclaim with one of the biggest bands of the 80's & 90's,  Warren Cuccurullo has truly emerged as a musician’s musician and a rock star.

Born and raised in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, Warren started playing drums (age 9) and guitar at age 10 He formed bands and it quickly became the perfect way for him to try out his own ideas. He wrote his first song at age 14. and it was a favorite in his bands set.  By his late teens, Warren had become THE die-hard Frank Zappa fan, and for much of the decade, would travel far and wide to catch Zappa in concert. It wasn't long before he became friends with members of Zappa's backing band, and eventually, Zappa himself. He appeared in a backstage segment for Zappa's concert movie Baby Snakes, and soon enough got the phone call he'd been waiting for. Warren was invited to try out to for a coveted vacant guitar slot in the band. Cuccurullo got the gig, appearing on tour with Frank, and on such albums as Joe's Garage: Acts 1-3, Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar, Tinseltown Rebellion, and volumes one, four, and six of the You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore series. 

After his tenure with Zappa, Warren moved on to form the new wave outfit Missing Persons.  The band enjoyed success early on with such hit singles as "Words" and "Destination Unknown," from their gold-certified debut album Spring Session M. The band toured internationally and released 2 more albums; Rhyme and Reason, and Color in Your Life. But with growing internal tensions in the band, Missing Persons eventually broke up. Coincidentally, Warren got word from an insider that one of the most photographed pop groups at the time was about to lose their founding guitarist, and he inquired about joining. Cuccurullo was soon invited on board (and quickly included as an official band member) and went on to record and write on the albums: Notorious, Big Thing, Liberty, the self-titled release “The Wedding Album” (for which Warren was awarded songwriting honors from ASCAP), Thank You, Medazzaland (which included Cuccurullo’s composition ‘Electric Barbarella’ – a pioneer in online music sales), and Pop Trash an album that the bands singer described as 'a Warren Cuccurullo solo album' in large part to an organizational and music direction skill that began when Warren was just 14 and perfected with his tenure and relationship with Frank Zappa.

The anthemic songs penned by Warren during that time have been covered repeatedly by hundreds of artists from rappers to opera legend Luciano Pavarotti and are a staple in film and television soundtracks.

Despite an intense schedule, Warren’s immense creativity and decades long devotion to sobriety & exercise afforded him the opportunity to work on several side projects and write, produce and record solo albums including Thanks to Frank, Machine Language, Roadrage,  The Blue featuring Shankar and The Master with Ustad Sultan Kahn.

When Warren was asked to leave the band to make way for a reunion with their original guitarist, Warren went on to release ‘The Blue‘ with Shenkar and record the solo albums ‘N-liten up’, Playing in Tongues, ‘Chicanery’ (w/Neil Carlill), release both  ‘The Master’ with Ustad Sultan Khan and a side art project called TV Mania with Nick Rhodes,  form and record ‘The Rose Vortex’ with jazz tenor sax legend Azar Lawrence,  Tommy Mars & Joe Travers, & now in 2019. he is developing his "one Man Jam band' and  releasing ‘Missing Person’ a collection of songs recorded with guest musicians and vocalists which features a cover of one of Warren’s favorite tracks, Gary Numan’s ‘Me I disconnect from you’ and a tribute to Prince with '1981'.
