Pablo Picasso-Musicians in Masks
This article is related to the Shooting stars post (the first entry in our blog section) which was focused more on the technological booming, how this has affected the mass media production and the role of globalization in music (click here for related posts). Today I will try to outline how the record label system targets its audience based on the marketing rules and how music is used by the mass media instead being an independent medium of free expression.
The last century was crucial for the evolution of music. Several styles and sub-styles were created (pop, rock, metal, rap) however is this healthy for music today? Perhaps we have gone too far with all the labels we give to the different music styles. They are certainly useful in order to categorize the different sounds and name the different ways of expression but sticking to that is unacceptable, and as I will try to show, it is one of the ways the labels use to sell as much as possible.

Videoclip: Deep Red Umbrella
Posted by: bsm in 2009, Music/VideosThe Umbrella is the human conscience and timeless existence. The soil ties the individual to the earthly life, attempting to turn him into a lesser being, compelling him to yield to his lowest instincts. But the human feels the driving forces of the higher self longing to reach the sky, and deep inside he realizes that the time-defined human life is but one of the many concepts of creation, that what the mind accepts as static is “forever moving” and vice versa. The individual now believes, just like Plato believed and taught, in the duality of the human soul and is determined, in whatever frame of mind he might be at any moment, to grasp the answers that humanity ever strives to get to.

A few months ago we found out about the Venus Project which indeed is something unique. I am sure a lot of people have been informed about it, some maybe not. The Venus project is an organization with main goals the change of the social and political establishment to a new, higher life-system which is based on the most important human ideal, freedom and social development based on the positive endeavours of technology.
The Venus Project (V.P.) first identifies the root of the problem: money is used to control the behavior and life of those with limited purchasing power. The Earth is being plundered for profit. The humans could have access to everything thanks to the technology and if that could be used in a positive way, there can be massive changes to the whole human society. Using technology, for example, people can travel easily and quickly thanks to magnet trains that can be constructed. How about traveling in 3 hours from London to Beijing with a speed of 3.000 km/ h? No fuel, no gas, more eco-friendly houses while using technology we could have almost everything without spending massive working hours doing something that does not make us happy. For example, no one would have to work in the factories, the machines would do almost everything while work could be a free choice and not a demand for survival.
