Fun Facts:
* Or Maybe Not…? is a piece about maximum uncertainty, the ending of one thing and the beginning of the next.
* It is about fears and insecurities, and the notion that perhaps we never really know each other very well at all.
* Or is it?
* This piece is also about self delusion, believing in something that was never there to begin with.
* Sometimes one can delude oneself into belieiving what one wants to believe, rather than what is real.
* If this tune were a spread of three Tarot cards, it would be The Blasted Tower, the Nine of Swords and the Ten of Swords.
* Or Maybe Not…? can be a challenging piece on guitar in a stretchy kind of way.
* There are some chords that require 5-fingers, with the thumb holding down the hi-E string.
* The original seed of inspiration came from when George wondered if he could make something pleasant out of a dischordant chord using context.
* He played a simple C on the nut and slid it up one fret for some classic tyro yuckiness.
* You first hear this chord in bars 2 and 4.
* This piece was played on the Ice Maiden, using the neck pickup.
* The Plank was heavily compressed and the part was recorded at around 10am after an all night session working on the MIDI parts.
* The key is D minor, which is the saddest of all keys, according to Nigel Tufnell.
* The tempo is a steady 120 BPM.

Flicker: Or Maybe Not...?

Introduced to music young, learned multiple instruments. Studied Audio Technology at AIM, aced electronic music production. March '99 I kicked off SpinFiX: a digital 4trk, 2 guitars, keys, drum samples, a mic'd up MD, a $10 mic for vox, a built-in synth. Experimental, built on limitations and tricks, forward motion and no way back. 1st 3 years gained airplay on JJJ and RN under 3 other names, a mention of 23krecords, and a moment on ABC TV. In '02 silenced by mental illness, later my father's death, followed by 3yrs of nothingness. A move north. Restarted on a 16trk under SPiNFiX. Studied music industry business twice. Quit drugs 28/12/08. 1st 6months of '09 living in a psyche-ward, a detox and med' overhaul for my mental health. Since '11, been designing and operating sound & lights for a live theatre, in '16 I became their tech manager. '18 I released a spoken/indietronica album 'intangible brightness'. '19 now using recording software. Currently working on a new album.

New Single ‘Slow Down Sweet DUB (remix)’ released on 1 March ‘24! 
I’m a Dutch composer/songwriter (38) and have been playing the piano from a young age. I discovered I was able to create my own melodies and songs in my teenage years, which I absolutely loved to do. 
Releasing songs the way I do now started in 2016 though. It was actually quite a dark period for me, but making music helped me to express feelings and get through it. Since then I’ve released music in multiple genres; mostly reggae, piano and chill out/soft dance music. 

Recent released tracks: 
My latest track is "You'll Be Fine" (early 2023). This is a reggae inspired track and for the first time with vocals. That makes it also vulnerable and took some courage to actually release. 
In the summer of 2022 I released 'Singing Off' , which is a tribute to the band where my love for reggae and dub originates, UB40. 

‘Music has more power than words’ 
Creating beautiful and simple melodies from the heart is my basis for composing music. 
Songs like 'Bliss' and 'Voor Sofie', but also the DUB song 'Clouds' are some of my most sensitive songs. An example of a more upbeat release is ‘Heartbeat’. These are 3 songs that are leaded by a catchy piano melody with a chill dance beat. You’ll hear a mix of several styles and sounds in there which I am really pleased with!

Thanks for all the love!

I love the exciting diversity of the Soundcloud universe. Here I always discover new, creative music creations and meet many nice people from all over the world. The music unites us all. SC offers me the unique opportunity to publish my own sound ideas. I am still learning and I like to be inspired. Therefore, I like to process finished songs of SC friends to new tracks. 
I don't have a preferred style. No matter whether rock, pop, disco or experimental music. No matter whether analog or digital instruments. The most important thing is that I enjoy it and like it.
Thanks for listening. I appreciate every feedback and every new follower.
Take care and stay healthy!

Human Music - Every note & sound of these compositions is created, played, agonised over, curated & mixed by hand :). Thanks for listening, as ever, thanks for your interest & feedback, it’s much appreciated
Phil

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

A moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow), is a rainbow produced by moonlight rather than sunlight.

Moonbows are much fainter than solar rainbows, due to the smaller amount of light reflected from the surface of the moon. Because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone color receptors in human eyes, it is difficult for the human eye to discern colors in a moonbow. As a result, a moonbow often appears to be white.[1] However, the colors in a moonbow do appear in long exposure photographs. (Source: Wikipedia: Moonbow)
