You need to check out the music of 313 list's erstwhile member, SPW. It's unbelievable!

(313) New Track
Hey guys, I'm a little nervous putting this up with a lot of heads in the know... Hoping you think this is a little better than what Joe received recently haha. https://soundcloud.com/nikefootwork/002-1 I made this tune the other day and would appreciate some feedback. Cheers, Tim
Re: (313) Received a new demo today (says he's from Detroit?
Ken, I think that this music is not only hilarious, but it also speaks to something that may actually be important to note. I'll explain. In our lovely internet generation we are able to share world wide events with people world wide. The internet is also becoming a repository of old historical items that seem to have little or no significance to our modern world, yet are unusual or tell a story about a time that has past. There are things that are far too unique to pass up and NOT share with others. Sometimes the key to comedy is surprise. What tends to make a song like the ones on Prasanth's Bandcamp page funny or even 'strange' are numerous-I'll highlight my thoughts: 1. It is on the internet. The world wide web. This musician/videographer/artist can be searched for, and he can search for others to share his music. 2. If Prasanth is attempting to appeal to an American or European audience, he has the ability with the WWW to listen, view, and search for items that are trending, or even what those in pop would sound or look like. Not saying this is his intent however. 3. He has a 50 minute movie on Youtube-where he lists himself as doing EVERYTHING. The man has _some_ talent, however it's not something that we here in our insulated little bubble can appreciate (boxer Manny Pacquiao is a pop star in the Phillipines-and I think that Prasanth's voice is about as good as Manny's). and... For those of us who are creative souls; those of us who work tirelessly on creating music and compositions and are trying like heck to get our voices and sounds heard and played-many of us realize that a track like this one illustrates a great point. Not all of us are born musical genius. Sometimes what sounds great in the studio or starts off as a great idea can fall flat everywhere else. And, for those of us who have failed at times (one of the meanings of FBK is Failures By Kevin)...we like to know that we aren't alone. For these reasons, it's worth listening to, and sharing with others. It brightened my day. I had a great laugh with one of my producer friends over it. I'll point out that there are parts of the recording that are good as well! Music is polarizing. It's not always created to make you think. Or make us dance wildly on the floor, or even make us cry. Music encompasses the entire range of human emotion, and listening to this made me feel something. It may not be what the artist intended me to feel, however it did more than most of what I hear on Beatport does-which is to say that it grabbed my attention enough to listen to the whole 4.5 minutes. Please, let's not take life so dang seriously...there's time and music for that...Sometimes you have to hear bad to be able to compare what is good. end rant On Sat, Jun 22, 2013 at 4:46 AM, Martin mar...@dustscience.com wrote: It still better than anything in Beatports charts and I kinda like outsider music and people who have a go. m On 22 Jun 2013, at 04:45, Odeluga, Ken wrote: This is actually not cool folks.

(313) Recent works by FBK and small developments...
I try to keep this list as spam/listentomydemo/buymytrack free as possible...but since we've started sharing MUSIC again (which I am very happy about)...I thought I'd share some items. First of all, if you are on the list and enjoy banging techno or dark semi-melodic dance works...you should possibly follow www.soundcloud.com/fbk Here's a direct link to something that is quite minimal and came from nowhere in a days session...https://soundcloud.com/fbk/fbk-setitfree Again, I hope that all are well, and cheers... Oh..and if you'd like to know about what we've been doing at the absoloop organizationhere's a list of things that are available in the digital shops... http://www.beatport.com/label/absoloop-orange-82/24645 -- FBK Absoloop/Orange 82

What Kevin said. When I see something that crazy, it's like there's someone who opened up his forehead and let all the chaos of the universe move into his frontal lobes. And the video might be simply a funny home-made Hindu religious movie, if not for the insanely distorted, messy soundtrack. It isn't that he isn't talented, it's his anti-technique. He swings at every pitch like he's going to belt it out of the park, and he always misses.

Aw come on Ken, seriously? Fuck that...my man Kevin, I'm gonna get you that acapella bro. I'm even thinking of sending him a roundabout tshirt to record his video in. Stay tuned.
