Producer & Solo Musical Artist Friends of Mine - January 25, 2019

Since activating my G+ account in 2013, I've met many musical artists who have inspired and hypnotized me with their individual non-conformist personas and musical styles.  More importantly, together we have become a family of raw talent solo artists, supporting and encouraging each other as we succumb to a driving need to express ourselves through our music. Many of us connected on the now-defunct Midnight Radio Compilation project spearheaded by Glasklinge Zeitenlicht (aka Dr. Drone/Eisenlager) and continue to actively collaborate on each other's projects today.

Dear friends, we are linked by our desire to create music beyond traditional outmoded boundaries, using our fearless approach as a tool to experiment with our instruments, voices and soundscape techniques in our own unique ways.  We create music for ourselves and our fans and listeners, many of us offering you a free download/name your price option on our Bandcamp sites.

My creative spark is ignited by unexpected external influences ... Ω ... a visual, a sound, a thought, an emotion, a feeling, a word, a touch, a dream, a ghostly shadow, my deep intuition, astral travel, conversations with the Divine, or accessing the Akashic records on the etheric plane ...Ω ...  There is nothing more satisfying than working this way and answering only to the Higher Self. 

That said, have a listen to "Producer & Solo Musical Artist Friends of Mine" displayed below.  Enjoy the journey everyone and make listening to music a part of your daily ritual!
