Sometimes at ArtistLaunch we get to hear projects in progress... demos, unmixed tracks, sometimes just ideas.
Here is one such artist called Cyrstal Camille, these are unfinished tracks but because they are they are of interest to those with a 'production ear'. Her music is alternative, with the right producer and re-mixer she could have some interesting tracks at the end of the day. Her lyrics are.... different, shall we say. An except from the track 'Ireland' reads, "The language of Ireland was prohibited by the English since the middle ages..the most beautiful singers I've ever heard are Irish, Sinead O' Conner, (some word we can't make out), Clannad, The Cranberries and so many others.. the beautiful women of Ireland" So her style is distinct, for sure.
There are dozens and dozens of re-mix's of Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' on youtube. Now this is what happens when you release a song with virtually zero drums on it. Makes it so easy for people to add their own and then chop the thing to pieces on any freeware audio editor available with a few clicks of a mouse!!
It is amusing to discover that many people prefer re-mixed Coldplay songs to the originals, according to peoples comments on youtube. We declare an open verdict on the matter...
Hello everybody. This is Gary Miano here with recording artist Scott McLean to talk about his album Rock And Roll Karma. Scott McLean is a drummer, producer, publisher, composer, and recording musician. Drums are Scott's main instrument, however, the music on his album Rock And Roll Karma, features Scott on many instruments along with a few special guests. Today we'll get an inside view of the album, some of Scott's musical influences, and a very interesting story about Joe Satriani that you don't want to miss......
A group of multi-national Internet musicians came together on-line to produce an original song and video to help raise funds for victims of the Haiti Earthquake on January 12, 2010. They come from Canada, Sweden, USA, France, Italy, Scotland, Germany and the UK.
After 17 days of recording and exchanging files on-line through their virtual studio they would like to share their song "Bleeding Hearts" with you. We hope this video will help remember those whose lives have been dramatically changed forever.
Readers of ArtistLaunch will be very familiar with the name Ana Lovelis, our history goes back many years. But here is one of her projects to keep an eye on, formally 'Red Shadow' now 'Cherri Bomb'.. a teenage girl band Ana is managing and mentoring that have huge amounts of much needed youthful 'Rock' talent. You may notice two of the girls have a striking resemblance to the legendary indie queen herself.
More videos of this gig to follow but we felt this backstage rockumentary was an interesting insight into the dedicated professionalism the management team are installing into the young band. Without this kind of backup a young bands confidence can dwindle faster than a toilet stop in rattlesnake country !
'Cherri Bomb' at the Valley Cultural Center's Warner Park in Woodland Hills, California for the Annual July Fourth Extravaganza and attended by over 50,000 spectators.
