The Beginning of the End or so to speak ?

Hello world universe and all the beings that live within it....

Its Blog time, you know the place where you run and listen too all the useless words i spout from my mouth!

WELL i think my project for Ghost Tape is done, a few adjustments and maybe some new vocals parts but its done i have written about 15 tracks but will be using only 10 on the album so to speak...

This series of sounds and music has been written from about feb-mar time to just last week, they have taken on a new sound for me trying to leave away the orchestral sounds, and instead use more percussive sounds and beats with different textures (think i got carried away with Harp), all in all the music is done, and i am hearing new sounds right now i want to concentrate on, more about that when i get to that state in time!

For now Ghosts or Ghost Tape, or even Ghosts in machines, who knows? The music i tried to make was a sound that has not been used before, clashing beats and textures with epic vocals, i found the whole experience a good one and have had some positive feedback from the those who listened. However I still don't think people get the music, or not want to get to know the music, making something that doesn't fit a genre or a style is looked at like a dirty whore you want to try but you don't in the end ;p, i think am falling into the trap of being a whore, musical scum you might say!

I personally think its my most POP set of music to date, but i see music as dead batteries being pulled apart my mechanical crows, from the last statement your thinking what the f??K? and you be right, but for one of the beats thats what i visualized and am not trying to be clever thats what i saw!

So who knows next? I will when its done put it out there, but due to my last effort will probably get zero response pretty much like my life in general, i live my art :(

Oh well maybe i will be seen as a musical genius once am dead!!!!!!

Evolve or die

When to say stop?

Okay Clearly no one listens and no one cares....

When do i say stop?

Bjork and Biophilia

Welcome come back blogger pick pickers, am sure your all been waiting with baited breath for my next blog well here it is ;p

Bjork my hero and one of the greatest inspirations out there musically and artistically, i love that someone like her can evolve and people listen and wait for her next release like it was the second coming, at this moment she is performing at Manchester as apart of a residency where she will be performing songs from her biophilia album as well as by the sounds of it the greatest gig you would ever see, this is excellent and am glad someone is aloud to evolve in music right now because its stale as fuck right now!

Okay my gripe, this new album is an App album and special features are only on devices who have apps or ipads and more advanced phone technology, this is great but what about the millions of people who don't have this equipment? Am hoping the CD (yes remember them) or Dvd will have something special for the fans who don't possess these technological advances!

On a suck up level i love the single Crystalline her voice is shining through as ever and is just amazing and i love the treated celesta sounding instrument, well done miss Bjork!

Okay another gripe, am not comparing myself to Bjork but if people are so interested in something different then why don't they listen to myself or explore other avenues where they can here new music, Hurts isn't new or clever!

Anyway Evolve or Die

Polaroid (Video and Stills)

Hello people of The Calm Project Blog reading brigade, i know your few but i love each and everyone of you X

This is an update of what am upto and the world that is Tha Calm Project, over the weekend i decided to put my creative bones into use and come up with a music video.

I recently wrote a song called Polaroid and wanted to create something special to show off this recent song, so i decided to make a video, as the song was called Polaroid i needed alot of pictures to create what is in my head, this is where Rebecca Tame Photography came in, she produced alsorts of shots for me to use within the video, using props and changing my general appearance using make up and glasses and props etc...

The result came out very well, using limited movie making software i put together all the images and changed the photo to suit the style of video in my head, this took many hours and computer failing for me to get the end result, but after 5 hours and the computer self shutting down at least a dozen it finally paid off!

And here is the result:

Lyrics For Ghost Tape songs

Ghosts....

These lives have faded away

Once was here now just disappears

Ghosts in the past spirits in the next

Gone from this plain arrive in the next

Save-Me....

The rain falls too the ground amongst the dirt and leaves

The puddles fill with your tears of the sadness of yesterday

Don't save me am not afraid

Crying into paper cups your lies become your words

Escaping the light and time remember who we will be

When your time is near the time to be near

Don't save me am not afraid

Crying into paper cups your lies become your words

Don't save me am not afraid

You put your life in the hands of the driver....

Slow down your moving too fast, collision this fatal crash

Pulled from the steal This life support pulled from the steal maybe your last

You put your life in the hands of the driver

Car crash collision break down fast

This airbag has failed this moment had last

Your life passes your eyes before you crash, this moment you live maybe your last

You put your life in the hands of the driver

The moment i live is the moment you die

Leave only footprints....

The shadows hide within ourselves revealing nothing too hide

The eyes see to much pain and misery we take ours and leave the rest behind

Leave only footprints leave nothing behind hide the evidence hide the lies

We take more than granted more than we choose

Nothing is free when we having nothing to lose

Will you hide me from this pain

Will you hide me from this life

Leave only footprints leave nothing behind hide the evidence hide the lies

Leave me behind

Breaking away the ice....

The flickering lights are talking

Of the angels they can have seen,

this cold breath is silent this cold breath is silent

Breaking away the ice

So set me free

My feet are walking its dark under foot

The night sky is stalking it blinds me with the flood

This cold breath is silent

Breaking away the ice

Don't look away i will find you

A new look Blog

The Forgotten

Well how are you viewers of the Calm Project Blog? Silence is your weapon and i feel its death!

Well for the people interested in knowing i am working on music, there should hopefully be 3 new songs coming soon, will these create an album worth of material, who knows at the moment the idea of people listening i find amusing but the people who do, my god i love you so much for listening and giving my music a chance!

I have been listening to some new music and i think thats influencing my new music, especially messing with different time signatures there will be one song i have done that, am still exploring music and everyday is a new surprise for me, i love music so much!

The other things in my life are working on music for a dance that involves dance music and gypsy music with hip hop beats, and rearranging some original tracks for dance.... The other exciting thing is a collaboration i Did with Little Weird Orchestras on a song called Routine, its different its original and i had great fun singing on this track, and might i say loved the mix on this track a lot, please check it out :) http://soundcloud.com/littleweirdorchestra/routine

Next on my agenda is doing all this Live, i have ideas that i would like to pursue and am excited about what the future holds for myself and my music, i think the idea of being a bit selfish is something i should look into as i really want to share my music with people and being strong and delivering something new is always bold and i applaud the musicians over the years who have brought about change, i wish one day people would see me in that light! Who knows they probably won't even shine the light in my direction :( No am not feeling sorry for myself its just a fact! We talk about change yet were all in the same place, now is it me or is that fucked up?
