“ Please allow me to introduce myself ”…A Manifesto 2020! (if we make it that far...?).
It is the best of times and the worst of times, (so far), and in music no less than in every other part of our life and culture.
Since Art is a mirror what looks back at 'us'?
In general it's not lookin' too good!
I am a musician and songwriter in ‘World Soul Fusion’. Our mission is to bring back the humanity, feeling and soul power into music.
For the longest time i/we truly believe that technology has subverted humanity in music and other arts.
'Is this really what you want?'. (A Song by World Soul Fusion, is about this).
Or a song by the entity/s, that recorded the first AI, MOR, AOR,
Soon to be played in elevators, and psychiatric institutions world wide. ENJOY!!!!!!
Browsing on Steemit I saw a cheery post of ‘a new phenomenon’ described as ‘Vapour Wave’. Mmmmm.... We at WSFHQ have long called it ‘Wallpaper music’. It’s a bland, contrived, synthesised, recorded, produced and mixed 'in the box'.
Oozing Plastic Soul, formulaic, drivel music, that almost no-one knows who wrote it, how old it is or it’s name; but it’s there, on the playlist… for a while.
The great songs of the early 21st century... Umm, Errrr.....?
We, the Word Soul Fusion, want to share with You.
We, the Word Soul Fusion, who are the living Men and the Women, the Group; living the music, sweating, reaching and riding the muse; and performing for and sharing with You, we hope, something special and worth while.
A creation of art, artistry and alchemy.
It 'may' be clear to anyone with half a brain, that pop music, like pop culture is a hostage to ill fortune and terrifying abuse. As are most of what passes for the human race.
But... We have faith. We have hope. We talk a big game! But… Is it worth it? Do you care? Is there anybody out there?...
Has humanity so lost the plot? Is the toxic dose of Chlorine and Kardashians, Silicone and Fluoride laced Propaganda, Psychosis and Sport 24/7, Sociopathy and pandemic plane stupidity been so perfectly effective?
Has it always been so and I am just a duped dreamer?....
WaddaU think?....
Until the next (moderately) exciting instalment: “Singing to the Zombies and the Angels.”
Big LOVE
'R' 4 the WSF
