News 26.09.06 FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SENSATIONAL GATSBY & LAUREN MUSICWAR(E)... THE CODES AND ALGORHYTMS WHICH SHALL CHANGE THE MUSIC /BUSINESS) AND WORLD AS WE HAVE KNOWN!!! INTELLECT-DRIVEN PROTEST IS BACK ONTO THE STREETS... AFTER HAVING CREATED A SENSATIONALLY COMMERCIAL AND GLOBALLY EXPLOITATIVE SONG-CATALOGUE, GATSBY & LAUREN ARE SET TO INTRODUCE A REWARDING FASHION OF ONLINE PURCHASING THE MEDIA CONTENT AND INVESTING THEREINTO! READ ABOUT THEIR PROJECTED OPENING ALBUMS AND THE MEGAHIT CATALOGUE TO FOLLOW... Ivan Gatsby (49) and Isaac Lauren (29) have commenced the journey into a new dimension of music creation, spreading genrewise from art music, featuring decorative and content directions such as Art Brit Pop Pop, Sugar Country Pop Noir, Epic Sympho Rock to TABLOID TECHNO POP (Electro Robot Pop), Power Punk Pop ( Punk'n'Pop'n'Roll) and the like, each of them abundant of the harmonical and melodic textures, interwined by the innovative song structures as well as the overall semantic levels referring to lyrical values relating to the perfoming-outfits market placement (niche positioning).
GATSBY & LAUREN are in vitro act and hit makers in regard to their self assembled bands. They have breathed life, sense,meaning, quality, content, goal, mission and operative functions into their acts from the very outstart, so there shall be a vague possibility of the acts escaping their predestined visionary path. Nothing occurs by chance at the Gatsby & Lauren's creative and businesswise imagery,though. Fits of all,they are honest and outwardly.The luxury they can afford due to their huge and overreaching renaissance-like talent.Gatsby and Lauren can do a vast of activities. They could do everything by their own, actually, if they were provided as much as the 'peanuts budget' (next to none or low budget, at a very rewarding stage). As for the manner of recording and producing procedures,. Gatsby admitted,"I love overproducing. Processing and altering each sound you can and can't hear, digging deep down into the soundgram, rearranging sound picture on the bottom. I simply love the walls of sound,levels of sound, the effects buzzing around all the time. It kills the essentials of songwriting, however. This is why we kept to digital basics while demoing, recording,engineering, producing and mastering the debut albums. The very melodies and harmonies are masterpieces. It would've been a shame had we vulgarised them by attaching the waves of sounds."
LAUREN: " The songs comprised on our debut album(s) might be easily cathegorised as the uppermost patterns referring to the melodies, harmonies, vocal and instrumental perfomances suppported by the largely insufficient lyrics (always differ lyrics to the song from the initial poetry of that song for the simple fact that lines written for singers require a number of syllables rather than text-rich descriptions applicable to the poems)...Interpretation, manner of sound recording, production, mastering and the basic idea, widely termed as the purpose, message, mission and operative function of the song,as well as the act performing it Please, do differ the lyrics to most songs from their initial state which are usually termed as the rich-text poetry, for the simple fact that lines adjusted to the singing practice require more adequate syllables than it had been delivered by the initial text, overloaded with descriptions applicable to the poems only. Thereto, the major portion of our songs have been written and composed as a composite, with aim of achieving the fullest range of high quality and unique product. Which is what the music and words drop to at the end of their creative and listening circle."
Isaac LAUREN and Ivan GATSBY found it difficult at first for they had been engaged in other activities and projects, hence they permanently lacked the time for composing and writing mutually which is a more effective manner than any other. The universal recognition of the words and their meaning, both on their own and within the framework of the applied context, is another issue. The usage of the songs originally attached to ARIEL tHE TEMPLAR and TESLA GIRLS!, therefore, should be described as a more of stimulating point for a variety of mind experiences and interpretations assumed by the consumer than the final meaning of any song featured in the album whatsoever. The songs shall start attaining their own variety of meanings only after the listeners have captured them for any kind of mind-processing, regardless of being it on a purely emotional or any wiser level caused by their own experience or the insuficiency thereof. GATSBY and LAUREN stress that their tunes serve as a defined guidelines, openly accessible to the consumers of any age, with the ultimate purpose to achieving of whatever may be called the final frontiers. The songs, as well as the poems, generally function on their own with no coorelations to any other sphere, be it real world or any other artistic world having been derived from what they call the real, organic world. The listener either accepts the song, its idea, harmonies,melodies, rhytm, meanings, the way it has been performed, or else he/she simply fails to. This is the basic truth behind every song. LAUREN: "The very creation of (the) 'From the Shadows They Came' album used to be a nightmare. The basic ideas, the essentials had been drawn out, y' know, the modern Templars, welfare and the stuff, yet we didn't want it (the album) to sound too narrowly sighted. This is why we, carried away by the flow of circumstances, created a sort of loosely conceptual story dealing with what's going on in the contemporary world, the plea for action against the dangers overshadowing the civilised world and mankind, sinergic with the story of a boy from a province little town in the wastelands of the suburbia who would like to change something. This is how the album should be plotted. The analysis of the recent, current and futuristic events, an outcry for waking up and piling up the strenght for the struggle against the affairs endangering the civilised man – mostly caucusian race, minus 'White Trash' – symmetrised with the helplesness and desperate longing to do something of a little common man whom very few see and most pretend to. Let's test the hereinabove words with the help of real life songs. What would 'Don't Worry, Ma, Nothing Is Gonna Be Alright' be without participation of each particular listener, who cumulatively create the public? We actually don't relate to the products trying to implement them onto the individuals as the mass-produced confection the listeners are expected to adjust to. We let each person access the information as well as penetrate into their interpretation of lyrics, and and have him or her release his or her own experience, interpretation, suggestion... No song is is complete without the audience's interaction, either on a collective or individual level. Their reaction may be approval, hate, suggestion. Once in the future time, we might publish or just make freely available the original drafts of poems, lyrics and texts suited to the songs. The poems die fast but last forever.We were forced to modify the words for each song, closing to the cliche areas with each modification or disguise."
GATSBY: "DON'T WORRY, MA, NOTHINg IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT is a hommage, a tribute to the legendary folk troubadours who have been seeking for more just societies and better worlds to live on. It is a protest against the islamic primitivism resulting in the violence as effect, as well as the warning that the Earth is about to vanish if we proceed with the contemporary level of pollution. The man has endangered his own Earth which has been hosting the mankind in the past few thousand years with a generosity. This is what the song is all about, the hypocrism of the certain politicians, the ones from from the EU inclusive. The song does cover the feelings the uniformed younger and older people share whenever facing such events – apathy, escapism, lack of interest, heleplesness."

DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME SONGS TO BE COMPRISED ON THE DEBUT ALBUM BY ARIEL tHE TEMPLAR, PREVIOUSLY CELEBRATED FOR THE CHARITY SONG BROTHERS IN BLOOD' UNDER NAME 'SIMON K.T.' (SEPTEMBER 2001) .....
BROTHERS IN BLOOD. "The solution is always possible, it takes a few men beyond the public treshold of the misguided and controlled thought, to break it through to the reality and cut the everday insanity as manufactured by the politicians and shallow-minded interest groups. The KnightTemplars, aka The Poor Knights of Jesus Christ, used to be an order which complimented the civilised world of nowadays with the buildings, transport and banking. Their mystic secrets shall remain hard to clear out, yet the Templars' spirit of dignity, honesty, vision and courage, besides literacy and data abundance, is what each man, younger or older, must adopt in order to synchronise into a permanent process of changing the world. The Templars used to be 'Brethren in Christ, Brethren in Blood' so revoking the memory of them comes out as a logical step. Some people keep claiming, «You are talkin' about past, wake up, we live in the world of omputers connected by the internet». If a monkey sits in front of a computer, however, what's the difference from that monkey from a monkey jumping on the trees? There is a big one, actually. The monkey in the suit sitting in front of the computer and using it,respectively, may destroy the civilisation.That's the bottom line. The monkey in front of the computers can do more damage than the monkey on the trees. It is the people who have to be educated, informed and enlightened, and it has hardly anything to do with technological development. Technology improves the enlightened man in whatever he/she is doing. Regrettably, it does so for other species of humans, too..."
SECRETS OF MY LIFE:"This is where the action or reaction to dark side of the Earth commences. Sport, you can start the your or someone else's worlds anew in younger years, after having been initialised in a rite by the wood (fraternity). You decide to do something out of your life for the benefit of the community, adhering to the general problems and issues, by not wasting your inner values not opposing the creative values of your society. The song is about a young boy's initilisation into a fraternity during which he had to confess all he did and didn't do. At first, it looks like an adolescent delight, wrapped up in the mystics, 'Rose and Cross Order'and whatever else. As soon as you see what the eurocrats, the political parasites from the European union administrative and ruling instances have done, you realise it is no longer a game but the threat to Catcholicism, unifying the values of good and evil. It is a masonic politics, and the Masons are nothing else but the successors, regrettably not so welcome or effective, to the Templars." MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE:" Once you enter the lounges, you feel mighty, protected, supported, invincible. ..Until you find out what you did and how you messed up the history, victimised millions of peopleplacing them under the terror of regimes, devoiding them of national futures...You do it all for the higher cause, of course. That's why this song is hymnical, as if it were an anthem." LIVING ONLY FOR TODAY:"Getting back to everyone's private room, dreams, brain manufacturing features. Each of us dreams. and wants to do something to be noted for. This is why we read books, listen to the trendy music, go to the cinema, watch tv. We lullaby ourselves into a notion of our grandieur. Some day,however, we come to understand that we live only for today and that our plans, ambitions, dreams have only symbolic or alternatively no value to any other man. This is a song about who we are when we are not who we want to be. A famous writer, Kurt Vonnegut, wrote:'We are what we pretend to be.' While not pretending, you are what you do, what you wanted to do but couldn't what you think you ought to do. In other words, you are living only for today, and not much beyond that degree of existance. The song is a fractal story of everyman's life, enco-mpassing years of his or her being locked up in the futuresque projections. The dust we are, and the dust is all we will be, unless a theory of the spiritual life works out. Particuraly the one of reinacarnation. We should worry about it,though." HEART OF GOLD (SEVEN MINUTES): " Welcome to the Revolutiom! An all-rising anthem, a sing-along although highly sophisticated melodywise, which will wake up any white men, living or dead. The few people who listened to the demo called it 'Sophisticated White Power Christian Anthem'." WALK ON BY (AND NEVER STOP): "A new White Man should take a glance back to the future, 150-200 years ago, and ride to the West, to the enormously wide pastures and undriendly darkness, to learn the essentials of the comradeship, loyalty, sacrifice and common goal pursues. Once you hit the road, you may never stop or even want to stop." THE STORM A-COMIN': "The very finest of America's rock'n'roll and country heritage, blended with immaculate Gatsby&Lauren harmonies. This song carries you forward, this song guides to whatever you have always wanted to be in your dark region of subconsciousness.The words just slipped out, it's a song like that. It's so epochal." A TOWN WITH NO NAME: "America's mid country saga continues in the very sophisticated generic manner. Listening to this song, singing by the lyrics, you wish you had been born into the Americas of the past when honesty and dignity were stil something valuable." EVERY RAIN IN THE WORLD: "Radio AOR. It gets you into the true American AOR, savannahas, prerias, the faded dreams of the WALKING DOWN TO HEAVEN. Walking all the way...
