Saving Real Music (saving RnR, Soul, Folk)
Donation protected
I hear constantly, the auto-tuned, computerized, corporate-fake music . . . with lyrics that are just babel, and it makes me, quite literally, physically ill. I--LIKE YOU--love real music, from real artists, for artistic listeners!....BASED in the lineage of artists we all acknowledge and love!
The muzik-biz blows these daze. A cat like me can't get(and wouldn't want) the sorta break it would take to "get heard". Not joinin' the "herd". BUT was trained in the old-school ways of recording/creating songs (a lost art) and I am loving to preserve for those who appreciate it! Have done for many years, especially on my last "debut" album "Apollo Down" via my band "The Vistanauts".
SO . . . got a new song to record "The Jungle Call"--but blew my wad on the last album, 2017--mostly live recording with a few overdubs and yet, like ya do, using a bit of recent tech. Keepin' the torch alive in all ways, fwiw! Been mostly since then playing lots of (great, fun, lively, electric!) shows at fun, great clubs . . . that don't really/can't pay much . . . here in SLC, UT, USA.
Wrote the song "Jungle Call" a couple months ago--amidst daily, typical, struggling life, not been able to get it recorded as hoped. And starting to forget it--the spark, the nuances. Any "classic rock" (kinda love/hate that term) lovers still looking for torch-bearers--I would so dig and appreciate your support and involvement! I got the passion, the content, the experience, the purpose! . . . . Could use a bit of help with the rest:)
Here is a link to the last new tunes I've written, recorded, performed and produced: https://thevistanauts.bandcamp.com/album/apollo-down
(Lots of influences, DAVID BOWIE . . . Rolling Stones . . . Velvet Underground . . . Roxy Music . . . Zappa . . . Rundgren . . . Stevie Wonder . . . Hendrix . . . Prince . . . Zep. . . . Many more. . . . )
Here is a music video (self produced with string and a soup can) I managed to pull together for another recent new song, "TriBorg Monstrosity" (which would accompany "Jungle Call" on a new Ep I'm hoping to finish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBQtPEigfHY
Support what you love and want to see more of . . . and watch it grow! We're in this together! Damn "the man"!
With just 450$ I can pull it off, pay some players, support an old-school downtown studio with a great "room" and Brit engineer with chops . . . and keep keeping the "classic" art-form alive! AND it's a good song I believe! "Jungle Call"? ha! Who doesn't wanna see/hear what that might entail these days? DIY-Curious unite!
