I don't have or belong to any band, and I never have. I'm just having some fun creating music, because I love to do it. That's it. Now that the Internet allows more sharing, I'm posting some of my creations for others to hear. Who knows? Maybe someone will even like some of it!

I do not record my music in a studio. I use what basic equipment I have at home; which includes a Yamaha electric piano, Kawaii acoustic piano, Yamaha and Casio keyboards, some guitars, Boss8 digital recorder, reel-to-reel and cassette recorders, CD burner/duplicator, small mixer, and a PC with music editing software.

I enjoy just sitting at the piano and playing whatever comes to me; sort of "ad-libbing" of melodies, harmonies, riffs, voices, even occasional oddities, including "mistakes". Are those real mistakes, or are they intended? Hmmmmm....who knows?

I find this approach to composing music to be more rewarding for me than trying to stick to traditional composition regimens. Besides, it is certainly easier than writing and re-writing music notation, and my hope is that it will also be rewarding to some who might hear it like I hear it. I'm sure not everyone will, but that's ok.

As they say "it is what it is!"

Feel free to offer any comments, suggestions, constructive criticisms, and the like.
Thanks!

East Texas singer/songwriter Chris Edwards has honed his musical vision into one that blends the old-timey folk and string band country music that his grandparents played for him as a child with liberal doses of elements out of the rock 'n' roll textbook. Love, life and loss are touchstone subjects in his lyrics, and coupled with his catchy melodies and ragged-but-right vocals, the songs become characters themselves. Through many of Edwards' lyrics, the portrait of a sensitive man ill-equipped to deal with many of life's changes comes through clearly. Having been around, and seen life from a multitude of angles, Edwards' musical endeavors have included playing everything from noisy garage band-grade punk to jazz and a few years that he refers to as "bumming around, playing tuneless, elementary rant-punk-folk stuff." His solo (in the truest sense of the word) album "Long Hard Ride" blends many of the musical influences he holds dear. He is currently working on a follow-up LP that is his first foray into full-scale studio recording.

Born the summer of ‘04, the Dirty Works are a 3 piece Southern Punk/Dirty Rock n Roll band out to take over the Goddamn World.
Frogwater Injection, the Band’s first E.P. came out in the fall of their first year and even though it was never officially released the band managed to sell over 400 copies of the CD.
Taking the show on the road almost immediately the Dirty Works made friends and fans all over the South and South East managing to create a Buzz around themselves.
At an especially chaotic show in a small town in TN the Dirty Works caught the eyes and ears of Atlanta Film Makers Worldstorm (Arts Lab) Productions. Long story made short, after following The Band to hell and back for over 2 years Worldstorm has a finished documentary on The Dirty Works titled Rebel Scum The Movie.
The bands first full length C.D. Biscuits and Liquor was independently released in the spring of 2006. Independent by choice as the guys stepped away from several Indie labels because of artistic differences. The Album, still selling has sold over 800 copies to date. Their next release is expected summer/fall of ‘08.
Rebel Scum The Movie is also expected for release in late ‘08 early ‘09
The Dirty Works, Piled in their totally rebuilt Ford Econoline aptly titled the Biscuit as it’s tan with Brown trim are hitting the Rd. again this march and will hopefully rumble into your city soon. If so, get out and see them, they’re definitely an act to catch!
The Dirty Works are
Steven Crime-Guitarist/Backing Vocals
B. Riot-Drums/Backing Vocals
Christopher Scum-Bass/Lead Vocals

SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR BIO

SQ is literally a one-man musical army. Led by Dominic Lamarre, who by the time he was 34 years old, recorded more than 300 songs, from cool ROCK to very radio-friendly POP to great BALLADS to orchestrated INSTRUMENTALS to indie SOUNDTRACK to just about anything you can imagine.

Growing up with a keen hear, his roots were soaked into CLASSICAL music, ROCK and POP greats like THE BEATLES, QUEEN, PAT BENATAR, DURAN DURAN and also (gasp!) ABBA (not even afraid to admit it the least!). Inspired by a wide number of artists and styles – from NIRVANA, SMASHING PUMPKINS, GREEN DAY, TRAIL OF DEAD, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and RADIOHEAD to metal’s finest OPETH to lesser known geniuses like AKIRA YAMAOKA and sElf, always admiring a great female voice/female-fronted band like WITHIN TEMPTATION, NINA GORDON, XANDRIA, AFTER FOREVER, SANDRINE, videogame music guru NUBUO UEMTASU as well as magnificent composer such as DANNY ELFMAN, JERRY GOLDSMITH And JOHN WILLIAMS.

Self-taught, Dominic had never touched a guitar until he saw NIRVANA’s UNPLUGGED in April 1994. Then bought a friend’s cheap acoustic guitar (who had electric strings on it, a trademark he carries to this very day) for 60$, had another write basic guitar chords on a piece of paper, and then started writing songs the day after.

Then came HAPPIER THAN YOU, in 1997. His first band. Something special between 4 friends at the time but that never truly came to fruition. He decided to pursue on his own, creating (properly) SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR, in 2006. But SQ wasn’t meant to only be a band of one. It was meant to be a musical industry by itself. 300+ songs (recorded, 600+ written) in a mere 6 years is just too much for one band to handle. Plus since SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR (band) is more into heavy-rock-melodic-pop, not all songs could fit into this category (though to explore musically is a motto nevertheless).

Aside for his publishing deal, many, many recordings and the soundtrack for indie film “DECADENCE PSYCHOTIQUE’, he also joined forces briefly with one of the band members of HAPPIER THAN YOU in 2008 and created a little side project (that created about 20-25 recordings in one year, still) named TEARS OF HEL.

PULzE, SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR’s first self-produced album was released in 2008.

More to come...

Raw, dirty, rotten rock from the heart of The Ozarks. Rot Gut Glory was formed in 2006 by Guitarist / Vocalist Kevin King. Joining him are Pudkcuf on Drums, Monkey on Bass guitar/Percussion and Catalyst on the Man-Sized Keyboard. The band is currently hidden away in their garage/studio, working on their debut album. They have released some rough demo tracks from their studio rehearsal sessions, some of those tracks are available on last.fm, MySpace.com and here on Project Opus.

Influenced by R&B artists such as Mariah Carey, Tamia, and Aretha Franklin, Alex got her start in music by singing as much as humanly possible, starting at the age of three. At eight years old, she began keeping journals of song lyrics that she had written, and at fifteen, she learned how to mix and record her own music. Now 22, her music style has evolved considerably - she writes the lyrics to all of her own songs, and produces the majority of the music as well.
