Lost in Translation

Hello Friends, people, animals who may listen and may read my blogs.
I firstly would like to say a huge thank you to all the people who have downloaded the album Rorschach, and to the people who bought it even bigger thanks, that was most unexpected :)
I really do hope you enjoy listening to the album and it becomes apart of your avid listening.

But i do think there is a lack of understanding when it comes to me making music with The Calm Project, i enjoy the feedback and if you like the music great, if you don't fine, but i am not looking for acceptance when it comes to what i make, because the music i do make, is for myself first, this may sound very selfish, but i do believe if your not being true to yourself, then your already on the wrong path, the albums i make are a audio diary to me, so am not expecting people to understand them or even get it! The idea is to just listen, if you like the music cool, if you listen to the lyrics cool as well, but as far as going to understanding it, thats different as i will never divulge what they are about, sorry its personnel.
I believe in following your own path, thats for me what a real musician should do and try new things, most musicians write in styles and copy other artists, i don't understand this at all, i may sound like people but i don't copy, i infact try not to listen to any other music while am writing as i don't want to be influenced or even just rip anyone off who i like. If musicians were completely true to themselves then the record industry would be so much different, rather than the stale format it is in now!
I keep saying at the end of my blog Evolve or Die, this is completely ignored as i seem to be stuck in this generation of moron, lets start being intelligent again, its not hard people!

Anyway for those who care i am about to start work soon on a new collaboration with an amazing electronic artist and i am very excited as i am a fan, so keep your eyes out for that, also i have begun writing new ideas for the next album and another project too....

Independent Artists

Well this blog is about independent artists and how we should support people who truely deserve support from the public and friends, i find the state of music right now scary and i really hope i am not on my own, when you watch programmes or game shows like X factor and you see the new artists of today with millions of album sales you start to think what is the point, i don't have a million pound advertising campaign behind me and i will never get beyond Sound Cloud or Facebook, well i think its time to change all that and listen too new artsists who are as passionate about music and as talented as say fuckin Muse! Or who ever these saturated boring people are, please take the time to listen share and even download these guys and really listen to the music, there is more out there than just what you see on TV!

This is Oceans, using electronic music to express beauty and pain and making it sound like the soundtrack you can't live without.



This is Clozee the musical mastermind of Chloe 20 years from France, these musical projects are normally accompanying dance videos, but the sheer beauty musicianship and excellence make them stand on there own as individual master pieces !



This is Adammed.age using textures and building up complex rhythms and making it sound like the edges of your mind are working on over time, these musical land scapes take you on a journey that you will never forget!


This is Vapour Marsh Big beats and rhythms from LA these aural worlds and beats create a feeling of holding on as you know there will be more and you can't live with out  it!


These are just a few of the artists and people who i know, and they don't have massive record deals or a million pound budget to make them famous they are artists in the true form of what art is, please take the time to discover new music, it is needed!

Evolve or die
