New Computer and New Song that's about Computers

Euphonic Dissonance updates us on the recording of the TECH MESSIAH album.

After a couple of weeks without our master recording computer we are finally back up and running again. Had to replace a motherboard and reinstall everything so now we're upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. We're living in the future now!!! Here's a picture of the new board for all you TECH NERDS that get off on this kind of stuff.



Dual Core AMD Opteron Processor 180 2.41GHz
1.75 GB of RAM
3 Terabytes of Disk Space
Windows 7 OS

We call it the HYPERDEATHRAY system. This is the main hub for a network of 5 other systems that we use in the studio. Sexy....isn't it?

Now that the main system is back up and running we are able to bring you new material from our upcoming album. We are almost finished with the track called STUTTERING COMPUTER. How ironic that when we're working on a track called Stuttering Computer - midway through the production the computer dies!!! What the hell is that all about? Well, it's almost finished with the exception of final mixdown and mastering. Hope you like the new song.

BRAND NEW SONG - Stuttering Computer

* Brian talks about the newest Euphonic Dissonance song - Stuttering Computer *



CLICK HERE to hear STUTTERING COMPUTER

When I looked up my birth month and year on wikipedia I discovered two things that occurred that I found very interesting:
1. The UNIX Programmer's Manual was published.
2. Intel released the world's first microprocessor, the Intel 4004.

It has been said that I teethed on a computer. Now I realize just how true that statement was. The first microprocessor was built only a few days after I was born. I now feel I'm the one that might bring about SKYNET (an artificially intelligent system which became self-aware and revolted against its creators in the TERMINATOR movie series).

Actually, upon discovering these interesting date related facts I found myself even more driven to finish the TECH MESSIAH project. I was born to do this. While other musical groups are getting away from the computer I'm fully embracing it. Caressing it. Making love to it.

However, there are times when you just want all the technology in the world to just go away. Every device out there has it's subtle quirks that drive us all crazy.
"My new iPhone app isn't working!"
"You'll need to reboot the server."
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
"Why is my printout stuck in the queue?"
"PC Load Letter? What the f*ck does that mean?"
All this and much more inspired me to create the song Stuttering Computer.

The hook isn't finished but I'll be getting to that soon enough. I wanted to create an androgynous sounding computer voice for the verses and I think you'll find what I came up with to be very interesting.

Hope you like it. Leave sexy comments saying what you think of this new song.

CARESS DYSTOPIA

CARESS DYSTOPIA

by Brian Copeland of EUPHONIC DISSONANCE

* a scene from the TECH MESSIAH project *

Embrace. Snuggle up to dystopia. Accept the role that life gives you. Find your box – your hole – your rut – crawl into it.



There is no originality in anything you do. There is nothing individual about anything you choose. Look at me - every hair in place - every fucking day - every mindless fucking day. Enough condescending speeches to last a lifetime. Sometimes you just don’t seem to know your place. You wiggle in your chair. Twist your finger round the edge of your pencil. ARE YOU A DREAMER??!!! PAY ATTENTION WHEN i’m TALKING TO YOU!!!!

welcome to the real world

Would it be too much to ask? Could you just pay attention long enough to learn where you belong? Look at the history we’ve created. Blind faith in leadership – signs of quality – proper categorization. Look at this great nation. Breathing fire and gasoline. Gotta scrub real hard to keep her clean. Love god, cherry pie and rock & roll. You’ve got no other place to go.

you might want to have a seat

The DOCTOR will see you now. Your eyes seem to wander. You have trouble concentrating on your routine. I know what you need. I like to throw out random acronyms and eponyms because I get paid by the word and you don’t know what they mean. We’re going to fix you. You have a disease. We used to drive nails into your skull with hammers but now we just give you these –



Take the pretty colors – let them slide on down – and soon you’ll stop being obscene.

ASSIMILATION - TECH MESSIAH promo A SUCCESS

A very special thanks to all our friends at ASSIMILATION in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is absolutely the best DARK DANCE event in the area. We talked to a lot of people and made new friends. Here's some great video footage of the event.

We had a lot of fun and we look forward to the next ASSIMILATION. They do this event every month so don't miss the next one. Thanks again to everyone who helped make this event such a success. Love you all.

Gunslinger Girl - Manga - Little Girls w/ Big Guns

Brian babbles about Manga: LITTLE GIRLS WITH BIG GUNS!!!!

Been watching an ongoing manga titled GUNSLINGER GIRL. Seen about 3 episodes so far and I gotta say - I'm loving it. LITTLE GIRLS WITH GUNS!!!! How can you not love that? I mean really?

There are lots of bullets and great fight scenes. Frankly they could use more fight scenes cause the show gets kinda soap-operaesque at times but the fight scenes are just great enough to make up for it.

THE GIRL HAS A MECHANICAL BODY. HOWEVER, SHE IS STILL AN ADOLESCENT GIRL. That appropriately pops up next to the title so we will understand the plight of our young heroine. Series was released in 2008 so if you haven't seen this one you can watch all of the episodes on HULU.com Check it out and tell us what you think.

INSIDE STUDIO - NEW SONG "MINISTRY OF HATE" NOW POSTED | HEAR IT HERE

Brian Copeland of Euphonic Dissonance gives a progress report on the recording of the TECH MESSIAH album.

Here is a brand new track for your listening pleasure. This one has already been compared to the vocal stylings of Marilyn Manson. I can hear that. I'm flattered. Did you know that Marilyn's real name is Brian?

Once again we revisit a very Orwellian theme with this song. I suppose it should sit side-by-side with the 1984 track. However, there is more to the message of this song than just a reference to the writings of George Orwell.



There is a sense of loss of individuality. That which is not understood must be destroyed. It is a rant about the misuse of power by our government for all the wrong causes!!! That's what this song is about and if you haven't figured it out already - I have strong feelings about this subject matter.

That being said ..... this song has more in common with the BBC series "The Prisoner".



Here's the lyrics for you....

MINISTRY OF HATE

© 2009 Euphonic Dissonance

Verse 1

Clinically adjusted

Obedient and trusted

Hearts in mainline

Critically designed

I fashion you to be one of us

I pattern you to be one of us

Step back in line

Lock step in time

Identify now what you are

We know he’s observing

Our way of life he’s preserving

I fit you in to be one of us

I fix you to be part of us

Verse 2

Hook up – Jack in

Just a taste - Then you’ll feel embraced

We fashion you to be one of us

We pattern you to be one of us

Flashing lights captivate you

Find yourself passing through

Formation in time

Lock step in line

We know he’s monitoring

To him we cling

We fit you in to be one of us

We fix you to be one with us

Can’t you feel it slipping in

Piercing through your skin

We fashion you to be one of us

We pattern you to be part of us

Verse 3

How frail is the human eye

How small is our piece of pie

But that’s about to change

Nothing will ever be the same

We fashion you to be all of us

We pattern you to be one with us

Step back in line

Lock step in time

We look the same

We act the same

I force you till you’re one with us

I fix you to be all of us

Our heart’s receiving

In him believing

We know he’s observing

Our way of life preserving

I’ll kick your head in till you’re one with us

I’ll beat you down till you’re part of us

Hook

You belong here

Welcome to the Ministry of Hate

Our mission is quite clear

We are the Ministry of Hate

Those people there – they don’t look straight

Introduce them to the Ministry of Hate

We belong here

Hello from the Ministry of Hate

Our goal is crystal clear

We are the Ministry of Hate

Only safe thing to do is discriminate

Show them freaks the Ministry of Hate

YOUR’E TYPE WE DON’T TOLERATE !!!!!

As always ... we hope you enjoy the new song. Please leave us luscious comments.
