He describes music as, Passionate, Guitar-driven, songs inspired by life, love, and loss as a musical backdrop to the autobiography of an individual sharing an emotion, a feeling, a moment in time. Life never fits into a specific genre so neither do songs from A Day In The Life. Drawing from influences like The Smashing Pumpkins and The Beatles A Day In The Life continues to use genres as a palette to create a musical landscape instead of guidelines to conform to. A Day in the Life is currently working with A&R Select, an independent A&R firm based in Hollywood, California. A&R Select is representing the artists work for possible record deals; film, television and video game scores; and publishing deals.
Lens <br /><br />Open your ears wide, because all the glories of the electronica universe are about to come pouring into your mind by way of your audio canal; and all thanks to Lens. Drum-n-bass, trip-hop, downtempo, electro, progressive, ambient, jazz and experimental tweaks are all part of the heady mix that is Lens. This is songwriting outside the box and right up your alley if you like original, intelligent electronica music. <br /><br />Conjuring <br /><br />Music stimulates every conceivable feeling in a human being. “Music can make you feel empowered, enlightened, excited, euphoric, dramatic, melancholy, relaxed, stylish and hypnotized.” And with the mesmerizing fusion of styles at work in Lens’ music, there’s no doubt these emotional/metaphysical explorations will bloom in the listener’s mind as his music plays. <br /><br />If It Sounds Good <br /><br />The Lens philosophy of music is this: “If it sounds good, it is good.” While Lens sees nothing wrong with music that bears a message, the music itself is ultimately what is important. How does it make you feel? How do you react to it? A great message won’t save bad music and great music will work with or without a message. “I believe that music should be judged primarily on how it sounds and secondarily on what it says.” Lens also feels that music has been denied proper focus in the way many popular artists become famous on image, not music. “Too many pop stars sell music based on their looks, publicity stunts and a fake attitude or style they portray in videos.” With Lens, image takes a back seat to simply creating great music. <br /><br />The Artist at Work <br /><br />“I’m always writing, recording and producing music.” Lens isn’t happy if the creative process isn’t alive and kicking. Lens is collaborating with other artists for the forthcoming “Hyperformations” release, as well as an untitled six-track CD. Lens’ “Night Drop” is featured on the recently released “Hello Future?” compilation from Radical Turf Records. Lens is currently working with A&R Select, the leading independent A&R firm in Hollywood, CA. <br /><br />Review <br /><br />“My god, what a riveting swirl of aural colors!” A&R Select
<p>My music is a brain-melting smorgasbord of break beats, jazzy riffs, and psychedellic synthwork. Some have been known to lose their minds listening to it.</p>
<strong>CORY SCOTT SIGNS WITH A&R SELECT </strong><p><strong>HOLLYWOOD, CA</strong> A&R Select has announced the addition of Cory Scott to its roster of successful independent artists. </p><p><em>“Cory Scott’s acoustic-rooted folk pop is highly textured songwriting driven by intelligence, a solid sense of rhythm and delicious melodies,”</em> according to an A&R Select spokesman. <em>“Scott’s works perfectly capture the emotional vibe of the human spirit and bring the listener art that is entertaining and inspiring.”</em> <em>“Music is feeling to me. As a listener, I find that I am never alone but I feel connected to the artist and to any other fan,”</em> says Scott. </p><p>Music is indescribably important to life on earth, Scott says. The interconnectedness that drives the human race would crumble without the power of art. And music is an art form particularly given to emotional expression and emotions are a key point of contact between humans. <em>“I believe that music is necessary, for the artist and for the listener. Music is a part of the human condition, a need like food or oxygen."</em> </p><p>Scott is putting the finishing touches on his new CD, <strong>“Dizzy.”</strong> When that’s done, he will book dates for his upcoming tour to support <strong>“Dizzy”</strong> and spread the word about his music. <em>“I’m always writing,”</em> he says. <em>“I have always got my eyes open, watching everything, everyone and trying to record the memories that made an impression on me.”</em> </p><p>When he first began writing songs, he had trouble finding musicians and ended up picking up the guitar himself. The rest is history. </p><p><u>More information is available by visiting www.arselect.com, Web site for Hollywood’s hottest indie A&R firm, and www.myspace.com/coryscottsound.</u></p>
<font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">VitalKolo <br /><br />VitalKolo’s experimental electronica embraces such genres as trance, breakbeat and techno (and more) and is guaranteed to leave an impression. Acidy textures, sharp layering, immaculate production, crisp melodies, pulsating beats, it’s all here and done with a marvelous flourish that leaves the listener stunned and breathless. VitalKolo is a master of electronic manipulation and consistently turns out quality work that ranks among the best in the genre to be heard. <br /><br />Missing <br /><br />Without music, there is something lacking. Music fills a void that would be unfillable with anything else should music be removed from the world. However, with artists like VitalKolo at work, there’s little chance of that happening. VitalKolo recognizes the special place music holds in the heart. “It’s what makes my mood. If I don’t play for a while or make something up, I feel like something is missing. I get an adrenaline rush from certain music and it makes me want to create something more dramatic and unique.” This drive to create originality and to present music that stands out from the crowd mixes with the immense talent behind VitalKolo to create electronica that strains at the confines of speakers, waiting to get out and possess the world outside the stereo system. <br /><br />Entertainment, Meaning <br /><br />The best music is rooted in meaning and humanity. That is, it is deep, not shallow; it is informed by intelligent consideration of the human condition. Music , word or wordless , expresses on a level of soul communication and intelligence and philosophical awareness is obvious , again, words or no words , if it exists in the creative mind behind the music. Of course, one can wax eloquent about artistry and filling voids but music also must at all costs be entertaining. Lacking that, any relevance it may have will be ignored by listeners. Communication will not happen. “Life is boring without music. Music is boring without life.” <br /><br />Influences <br /><br />Influences for musicians can be found all around in all things. “Nature, people, science!” But whatever the influence, however much it may be something that influences all people, VitalKolo shoots for translating that influence into original musical thought. “I try to get my music to be as unique and interesting as possible. There are actually a lot of influences in my life.” <br />Serious <br /><br />Dedication and commitment is what will bring VitalKolo success in music. “I take music very seriously and really enjoy everything about it. I can’t imagine my life without it.” VitalKolo is currently working with A&R Select, the leading independent A&R firm in Hollywood, CA. <br /><br />Review <br /><br />“VitalKolo unleashes sounds and feelings through the electronic genre that are rare simply by virtue of the sheer force of creativity that drives the music.” , A&R Select</font>

Electric Frankenstein ROCKS! Vocalist/lead guitarist Steve Miller ROCKS! Rhythm guitarist Sal Canzonieri ROCKS! Bassist Dan Canzonieri ROCKS! Drummer Rob Sefcik ROCKS! Let me reiterate the obvious, folks: Electric Frankenstein ROCKS, and like a ****, too! On this latest edition of monstrous musical mayhem from the scariest crypts, lairs, and laboratories in all of New Jersey, the snarling growling EF creatures set a raging out-of-control fire beneath the dirty, soiled pants of Rock n' Roll with an overly intense vengeance. It's a loud, overpowering jolt of pure, uncontainable energy in the form of screaming, mercilessly flailing vocals and hard-driving, balls-out instrumentation that brutally murders the ears and knocks the listener absolutely senseless. <p>Besides the visually mind-blowing CD insert artwork and the enormously roaring music itself, this particular EF release possesses another blatant topic of uniqueness. These 14 tracks are the extreme ultimate favorite songs of the band originally recorded during various sessions the past 15 years and then tucked away in a vault for safekeeping, only to be recently unearthed and re-recorded for the benefit of EF fans and Rock n' Roll enthusiasts alike. </p><p>Deafening faves include "Burn Bright, Burn Fast," "Fired Up For Action," "Spit It Out!," "Just For You," "Hey! (Kiss Your Life Goodbye)," "New World Whore," and "Rock City Rocks". Holy ****! I've just been electrocuted by the sizzlin' hell-hot sounds of Electric Frankenstein, and now I'm burnin' brighter and faster than I could have ever imagined. Pour some water on me quick!</p>
