Questions and Information on the Open Source Musick Projekt

We are One and as each a point of awareness, we are equal

Q: Hello, can you tell me more about the project?

A: Hi,
This is at present just an idea and it requires the participation of those that agree with it for it to have any physical substance.

The idea is that consciousness is non-local and anything that we draw from it is collective anyway. In an attempt to isolate us from each other and from our expression we have been indoctrinated to believe we are special and unique and original.

While this is true in some respects, ownership and intellectual ownership of songs and music for the sake of mass-corporate marketing and money making for fat cats to get fatter, does not mix with the reality that consciousness is non-local.

Our expression once isolated and put on a CD in a three minute song is then copyrighted by a corporation and sold by the millions with artists getting a pittance and mass marketed lyrics written by ten people trying to evoke sex and appetite in every line to pour capital into Sonys coffers.

We must take our expression back and give music back to the people.

If a song represents a people it IS the people's - it is THEIR song. My idea for using Copyright The Open Musick Projekt 2015 [or respective year].. Is possibly a failsafe against people in the 'music' industry wanting to pick the music up and make a buck. There are others that frontier the idea of Open Source Music. This is the first I know of that admits consciousness is non-local and therefore nothing can be owned.

Thanks, Montego Ikarus

Write it down, get it out and spread it out, far and wide

Q: What about recognition? What about me making a living out of my music? What about my music staying mine and being mine because I made it?

A: Expression in the authentic sense, only happens in the moment. And by this, in the moment it is being expressed. When I sing a song - any song - in THAT moment it is MINE. I cannot lay claim to anything outside of the moment that I control. No one ever can. The moment in the future or the moment in the past, by definition do not exist and can only exist by coercion in an agreed system of time which generates hierarchy and extended realms of control.

It is time we stopped being little children in the sense that we must purify our expression and stop trying to own everything in a MINE MINE MINE sort of way, as if we can own eternally the future or the past of all expression your or my human physical body may have done.

If we really are serious about our music, well, in the moment, our music is our music and no one can ever take that away from you.

I can make money on the street busking, I could make CDs to sell on the street as well. But I do not lay claim to my music outside the domain of authentic expression.

If you want to be recognized for something, be recognized for remaining in the moment and harnessing the energy that people around you give freely so you can give them in return what they require to push forward in that moment.

We are the troubadours of old, let us purify this spiritual practice. We are energy workers of a kind and we have been doing this work throughout the millenia.

Are you a robotic repeater that triggers familiar songs and rhythms to make a buck or are you a master of the universe that lives eternally within and as the ever present singular moment that inhabits everything?

Q: What is music about to you then?

Write music with feel, let your energy be free, learn that constricting energy with competition and industry actually destroys feel, which is what makes musick. 

LIVE musick is music, whoever is singing in that moment is making music. 

We make a recording of music into musick to us, by putting our energy into it, by putting our feel into it. Without our participation in it, it is a dead thing. Musick that is LIVE and expressed in the moment as if this is the only thing in existence is Real Musick because it is Alive.

And living musick gives life to everyone.

Take down the industry of dead music.

Write something, start with what you know and work from t'here'

Q: I'm not a songwriter and I rely on other people to put words to my emotions, I can still put feel into my music regardless but I'd like to start writing. How do I get started?

If you want to start writing but haven't got the confidence yet - TRY THIS -
1. Feel the song (if you don't feel it, don't do it).
2. Empathize with the intent/starting point of the song and feel yourself in that position (or change it according to something that you can feel it for - eg, I sing Folsom Prison Blues from the perspective that first world life and all its boxes is really just a fluffed up style of fancy prison for higher class slaves - that may not be what you feel, but it works for me to make it something that is authentic in my expression).
3. Write.
4. Sing and make it rote (repeat until you don't need to read it).
5. Put your own feel into it, every time you perform.
6. When performing don't be frightened you will forget lyrics or sing the wrong thing, improvise! In the moment sing what is true for you, and if you are feeling it, the words come!

Trust yourself and your expression. 

Feeling has been made into something dirty and naughty by society but real musick utilises feeling and the ability to touch someone without using your hands.

Q: You speak a lot about 'feel'. I don't understand. What is feel, how do I 'feel' in music?
Express unconditionally what you want to sing from the bottom of your heart and feel will come.

Express the ability to touch other people physically but with musick instead. And this doesn't just mean sex but emotion, love, embrace, intimacy, truth - sing so others literally feel what you are singing and/or why you are singing it.

Trust yourself and feel will come. Music without feel is just a repetition. This is the different between LIVE music and a recording. But just because it is LIVE does not mean it is felt. Feeling is had within the moment and its expression is timeless.

Love,

Monty

LYRICS and CHORDS =

Chords - I'm playing in Eb tuning, can be played in normal tuning just fine. the main chord for this is Am7 which drops to Abm7 occasionally. I fiddle with this variation for the verse bits. The chorus goes from D7 to C7 and then back to Am7. The little solo bit after the first 'Love Shit' before the song gets real drags it up from G7 up to Am7 after the C7. Muck around with it, add sevenths and jazzy chords here and there and you've got the song. Any questions just comment please.

Love Shit

This is the story of a girl

Her name is Lorelei
She convinced me I needed love
Or I would die

She had so much love to give
Out of thin air, love she made, Believe
She owns all my love
She is love’s inventor

Saved me from the meat market push and shove, yes she did
Saved me from the meat market push and shove, oh yeah

Then like a contract from the devil
She made me sign a pact
To owe her love back to a level
What to do with love’s die cast

This debt accrues with interest
She is the only one that can beset
Interest perpetually accumulates on interest
Creating an infinitely unpayable debt

What will it be, love struck folly
Deep love – deeper love – love slave … or deep shit

[guitar solo]

(This is a very different story
And I’m about to tell it to you now)

Lorelei is the bank that owns the world
Her love is the money that enslaves the people
It can never be paid back
Because the self-created source is not generous
(but spiteful and brooding)

To stop the cycle
That won’t stop until you act
One, love your neighbour
Two, burn the banks

And teach your children to produce as well as consume
Take control and run money as the people

Fat cats sit on their wealth
Dragons sleep on gold
They both know something we don’t
Only a select few can live and not be sold

Poverty and pain
Is inevitable and even necessary
To maintain the status quo
Of the current economic reign

Throw out the government
Burn the banks
They’re giving thin air for your blood
sweat and tears

Money is not good enough
Money cannot breathe
It’s not even good enough for a rag to wipe (something I can't say in front of the kids)

Deep love – deeper love – love slave – love *poop*

Deep love – deeper love – love slave – love *poop*

======

Please sing this loud on the streets EVERYWHHERE!

As I am!

Thanks,

Monty

The Dilemma of Ownership and the Non-local Mind: The Open Source Musick Projekt

Is copyright an infringement on our capacity to create?

I can never own the musick I make.

I take what I write from a mind that we all share.

How can I own that?

The Open Source Musick ProjektOur mind, when treated as one, has far greater potential than when in competition. 

We all take from the same well...
