  • Songstuff Writer and Artist Development Challenges

    By john

    Independent writers and artists face several large disadvantages when they are compared to signed, mainstream writers and artists.  Disadvantages that add up to making it a competition that indies can’t win. Hell they can’t even compete.   Lack of budget and poor contacts are fairly obvious disadvantages. Lack of experience and a lack of knowledge restricts songwriters and artists alike. Lack of an overall strategy, and a limited set of incomplete tactics, makes for a critical problem

Why birds sing their songs: great maestros proving the musicality of nightingale, cuckoo, yellowhammer

It is no coincidence that the sounds emitted by birds are known in many languages as "songs", rather than simple animal noises, all due to their patterns being structurally similar to the forms of human music.   Many generations of researchers have been attempting to determine whether the driving mechanism behind bird songs is tied to some form of conscious musicality or if it simply fits within the concept of basic communication.    Recent studies delve deeper into this pheno

Radiohead Beats Hacker And Donates Money to Extinction Rebellion

Radiohead have released hours of recordings instead of paying ransom money to a hacker who stole them.     Just last week, an unknown hacker stole unreleased recordings of Radiohead. Thom Yorke had recordings on 18 MiniDiscs of music recorded during the recording of OK Computer. Most of the recordings were an hour long. The hacker threatened Radiohead with the online release of the recordings if they didn’t pay the hacker a ransom of $150,000.     But Ra

Songstuff Compilation - Call For Submissions

This is a call for submissions for the inclusion of tracks in a compilation album. The compilation is as a fundraiser for Songstuff.   The idea is simple. If your track is selected to be included, any funds made directly from compilation sales will go towards funding our community. Submission of your tracks is on that understanding. We would also need your permission to use tracks to promote the compilation, permission to edit for that purpose and to master so that all the tracks sit w

Quadraphonic vinyl reveals new Atom Heart Mother details

In the late 1960s, after the stereo sound almost completely replaced the mono format in the recording industry, the attention of engineers was shifted to quadrophonic sound technology.   Unfortunately, at that time, quad-sound was not widespread due to equipment manufacturers failing to develop a common quad standard, releasing recordings and record players of various formats to the mass market which made it hard to find a match.   Nevertheless, quad recordings forced the sou

Sliver of A Moon

I met my co-writer on Facebook. We've done two songs via the internet as I live in the States and he lives in Wales. I didn't have a good melody for my lyrics and he created this awesome guitar lick and sang it. Funny thing to note is that he sang the word silver instead of SLiver but you'll get the gist of the song. Her is SLiver of a moon hope you like it:

The timeless tragedy of Molly Malone

Not many songs can boast international recognition of being so deeply and fondly Irish the way Molly Malone does. Also known as Cockles and Mussels or In Dublin's Fair City, the ballad—now the unofficial anthem of Dublin—tells the story of a fishmonger named Molly who dies of a fever, but her ghost still wheels the barrow with the wares through the streets.   There have been many attempts to prove that Molly was a genuine historical figure, but everything points to her being merely an

Gondolier songs as the inspiration behind the romantic genre of Barcarolle

Originally a Venetian gondolier’s song, Barcarolle is characterized by gently rocking rhythms reminiscent of the boatman's stroke. The simplistic nature of the melody and the wistful triple meter add to the charming character of this timeless classic.   In the 18th and 19th centuries, the barcarolle inspired a considerable number of vocal and instrumental compositions, ranging from opera arias to character pieces for piano.    Frédéric Chopin’s Barcarolle is possibly the best

"Accept" finally released today! I'm so pumped to share it with you.

Two years is what it took for this day to arrive. I’d been doing this “music thing” for many years but the opportunity to go into the studio and do a solid record with a band had always been a far fetched idea.   Two years later, here I am having worked with an incredible bunch of musicians to put these incredibly songs together and share it with you today.It is safe to say that “Accept” changed my life; as a musician and as a human being. I’m really glad to be sharing these songs with

CAN: the psychedelic days of future past

German band Can established themselves as pioneers of experimental avant-garde by seamlessly combining their influences, from the tape-splicing technique of electronic composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, the trance-like drone of The Velvet Underground, the minimalism of composer mavericks like Terry Riley as well as the jazz rhythms of James Brown.   When Can formed in Cologne in 1968, the members had little experience with rock. Two former students of avant-garde classical composer Karlhe

"Accept" releases worldwide September 30!

"Accept" is finally releasing on all platforms on 30th September!   After two years of hard work and learning, I'm glad that it has finally reached its final lapses of the journey. Over the course of this project, I have collaborated with so many different kinds of people on so many different fronts; so much so that it became a central theme to what this EP has been all about. And based on that I'm doing a few collaborations in the city as we move toward the final launch gig!

Spotify To Allow Indie Artists To Upload Directly

According to Billboard, starting today, 20th September, Spotify is to allow independent artists to bypass distributors and upload directly to their streaming service via their Spotify For Artists account.   Direct upload will initially be made available to a small group of a few hundred invited U.S.-based artists.

Your Mind (music video) is out now!

I’m super excited to be sharing with you, “Your Mind”, the second single and music video from my upcoming EP “Accept”.    After the melancholic first single “Come Find Me”, I wanted to release something that gave a contrast to the somber side of me and my music. Your Mind is a song about coming out of the bubble that we create for ourselves with our minds. We create a false sense of reality where only those things that are pleasant find their place while the truth stays hidden deep und

The drama of The Chain kept alive on the big screen

The Chain, included on Fleetwood Mac’s classic 1977 Rumours album, has retained that particular brand of culturally iconic for decades, but even so, it is safe to say that the recent years pushed the song to a much more immediate pop culture awareness.   The credit mostly lies with Hollywood (though TV had its fun much earlier with Glee, The Americans, and even BBC’s Formula One coverage used the ending bass line bass line as a theme tune from 1978 till 1997) and its generous streak of
