Future Music Now

(cc) Mike Stop Continues

Future Music Now will be my next album. Containing and hopefully advancing elements spanning rock, pop, and classical composition, the overarching theme of the album is that at some point in the future, you will love this music. Not you in particular, of course, but the you that is me and the you that is you all and the you that is all that isn't people and persons and individuals and consciousnesses.

Before now, in all the albums I'd constructed, I lacked the idea that you matter just as much, if not more, because there's more of you than there is of me, and as a result, when I looked at my volumes of work, I realized that it was not accessible and in being unaccessible, it was also not profound. I was not designing art for the future from the present, now, but the past. So I changed that. I changed a lot of things.

Currently, you'll find demos from the album on this site. I'm proud of all the demos, but as the project developed, I realized they were just as far from complete as the songs that have not been uploaded yet. Most of these demos have completely different lyrics and instrumentation than the versions that will be on the final album. As great as they are now, just remember how much more you'll like the finished versions.

Anyway, listen to the songs and by all means, COMMENT! What you say will change what the final versions of these songs are... And that's one of the great joys of being able to release these songs early. After all, by being here, you're already a part of this.

Enjoy!
