I posted myself on "Amie
Street.com" on 12th March and posted on
Last.fm
today.
I had my first album
posted on a site called "music downloads.com" and suddenly the
link kept carrying me to Last.fm all the time. So I checked it
out and found an old friend had set up a page about my music on
the site for me anyway, so I just had to "claim it" and set it up culminating
in an upload of the first two album's. He'd attached my email
address to the site.
The music downloads.com
site seems to have vanished. It was managed by Cnet.
The difference about
these two sites is that they are set up to encourage a small
contribution for the music. I don't know how much or whether I
will make anything out of it, but it is interesting that I can
see stats which give me an idea of what is really thought of the
music. Man there are a lot of artists out there. But it is
becoming clear to me why some are never known of in a big way.
Talk about "the
graveyard of the Internet". It sure is easy to be overlooked
completely. The attitude to have seems to be one that the
average Chinese citizen is accustomed to. That is to accept
being "one
of the crowd" when it is all said and done.
---------------------
I was looking through
old cassette tapes looking for a unique recording of an album of
music I composed on another synthesiser a year or so before I
got the SY99. I couldn't save the compositions in the same way I
have with the SY99, so I recorded them through the headphone
output into a cassette tape recorder.
The cassette was played
pretty continuously at my Paddy's Market Stall selling my
"Natural" products based on Essential Oils and other Healing
Oils... such as Eucalyptus, Ti Tree, Calendula etc. Many people,
especially from overseas - tourists I guess you could call them
- asked me for a copy of the music cassette on the spot, and
asked would I send it to them overseas when it was "published. I
had every intention of making myself available to them but the
nightmare of running the market stall business created havoc in
my life and a person I met who seemed to be a friend at the time
borrowed it and so I have been wondering if I ever got it back.
It was in the days when
the traditional Paddy's was in the city of Sydney after the big
government stuff-up which resulted in the multi-story complex
that turned the whole thing into a nightmare for us old timers
in the days which resulted in the Asian take-over turning it
into what is now a Chinese Market.
I will continue to look
for the tape as the pieces of music were somewhat organic and
quite unique.
In the process I came
across a music tape I acquired from a lady friend years ago who
introduced me to the Marharaji group in Sydney. They used to be
called the "Divine Light Mission" before I became involved. But
for a long time I wanted to experience what it was all about as
I found such really good people were associated with it. I
attended Satsang and eventually I had been brought up to a
sincere level of desire for "Knowledge". I was given Knowledge
and as a Premi practised it and in a few weeks had a staggeringly
beautiful - and what has turned out to be relatively permanent - experience (or state of "mind") that added to what I
had gained from a long association with Buddhism, Scientology,
the Rosicrucians and Theosophy.
The music tape was
called Court of Love by a group called Holy Jesters. I
did a search on the Internet and only found one reference to it
on an anti Maharaji site but they did not have more than 2 songs
from the album posted, and one was not applicable to the album. So I
processed the tape in order to preserve it as I believe the
significance of such music is no longer a part of the world of Marharaji JI's devotees now. Well I like it still and it gives
me back a connection to a time when I was "there" as a Premi....
(and still am at times) The quality of the tape has suffered
through time but the 192kb mp3s are pretty good and are worth
having. I have linked them for streaming and download till
someone seriously and rightly claims them for the same
purpose.
Give me a bit of time
to set this up properly. I will be cleaning up the tape player
and see if cannot get much better quality recordings from the
tapes. But you should enjoy these recordings as they do have a
hauntingly interesting feel as though they are coming through
some kind of inter-dimensional space-time continuum... So I have
set them up for download or stream :
