I play the guitar and I frequently have many ideas popping up all the time, even in my dreams I come up with some stuff. Here's 2 songs that I've uploaded of my playing solo (no overdubs or anything):

Ambient (sort of)

Also Ambient-like

Gypsy jazz inspired

Actualy I don't really know how to classify them into a certain genre.
I would appreciate it if you'd take the time to listen to them in order below:

I'm a writer. I'm super excited that my first book is being published this October. I mostly stick to non-fiction writing (I work best when I'm bouncing off a concept as opposed to creating something totally from scratch), and as I am also a huge sci-fi film fan, this book is about sci-fi cinema. Basically I cover the most important sci-fi movies there are (roughly 105 of them), reviewing each and explaining why they are so great or otherwise important.

Here are two pages from the book (text below in spoilers). These pages cover my write-up on David Cronenberg's Videodrome. If anyone's interested, the book will be called Sci-Fi Movie Freak, and it comes out October 14! /shameless plug

The interaction between technology and the flesh is a classic theme of David Cronenberg’s work, and Videodrome is perhaps his quintessential achievement in this sense. This film takes the idea of TV violence as a cathartic experience to its absolute extreme. In Videodrome, technology doesn’t so much feed reality as it supersedes it. The result is some sort of bizarre and gruesome masterpiece.

Max Renn (James Woods), the president of a TV station, is looking for the next bold, sleazy show for his network’s lineup when an engineer intercepts signals of an underground show called Videodrome. The broadcast scrambles itself whenever an unintended receiver picks it up, but from what Renn is able to see, it has no plot, takes place in a single room, and consists solely of realistic, sadomasochistic torture sessions. When Renn searches for the source of this broadcast, hoping to buy the rights to it for his station, his body begins undergoing transformations as the result of simply watching the show. After he grows a gaping slit in his abdomen (which promptly heals itself after he hides a gun in it), he sets out to find answers.

Videodrome is filled with philosophies concerning television, film, and those mediums’ effect on reality. One character, who has resolved to communicate only through pre-recorded videotape sessions, at one point argues, “Whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore, television is reality, and reality is less than television.” As Renn progresses through his body-altering experiences, this idea plays out literally. The viewing of extreme violence does more than sate perverse, and perhaps subconscious, desires. In the case of Videodrome, it creates a hallucination, a new reality, in which those desires and experiences are a core part of our being, even to the extent that they control our actions.But here’s the thing: If such an incident as that which Renn experiences were to become widespread so that violence is an inherent part of life, where we are all hallucinating the same thing, would violence still be considered a social evil?

By the end of the film, reality has indeed been replaced by hallucination. When this happens, the vicarious experience of violence is no longer cathartic. It is real. The result is a new existence and a new flesh. Cronenberg tells this story as if he is beyond condoning or renouncing such a progression of society. He seems to be convinced (albeit perhaps frightened) that, in some metaphoric way, it is an inevitability.

Wow nice :D GLHF to your first book!

Thanks a ton!!

I wrote an amazing cover with my friend (this one) and failed horribly at recording/performing it.
Other than that my talent is in conversation and I am very impressed by the people here.

Not the best quality but we had a blast doing that. Also our first live gig.

Liked this too! Only thing is that I'd prefer a more punchy/attacking tone for the guitar but good job!

And of course there are so many great artists here.

I'm a hobby photographer, focusing primarily on concerts/events, but I do other stuff too.
Because I never found the time to learn Photoshop or something like that, all my pictures are nearly untouched (sometimes I correct red eyes) and just as I took them!

Here are a few examples (click on them for a big version):

Dancing couple from a tourney (I'm dancing too, if you think "why was this guy there?"

)

"Not very good"? This, at least, looks pretty awesome to me.

I'm an Art & Technology student at Aalborg University, Denmark. This is one project we did a little while ago, I know there is better photographs somewhere, but can't find 'em: The cube has got a PS3 camera attached to it (isn't visible on the picture) which we made infra-red, as well as an infra-red light source in the ceiling. We projected a white circle underneath it, while the cube pulsated white light, and when people entered the middle of the circle, symbols appeared and the circle started rotating faster and faster, while the cube pulsated red, also faster and faster. The whole exhibition was a "village" in which our piece was supposed to be "the church". After careful discussion (while intoxicated) we named it: "The Seventh Symbol of the Stargate: The Hidden".

Much love to FuDDx and JieXian <3<3<3

@FuDDx I'll definitely keep my eyes out for her. Balloon art is such a sick way to make people happy ^^
@JieXian I love hearing people play jazz and the first piece calms my mind. Keep 'em coming! :D

And of course all the other art (musical or visual) is amazing. Nothing makes me happier than seeing people express themselves. <3

I think it would be pretty amazing to have an artists directory here on TL to know who does what, in case people want to collaborate or what have you. Thoughts?

Anyway, I am a composer in what you would call the 'contemporary classical' scene. Here's some of my work

First of all, really nice compositions you got there.

Second, an artist directory sounds like a good idea but it will take me a lot of effort to put things together on this thread :I
