MI7®

my biography

Hi, the name’s Artie Q, but for some strange reason I ended up with ‘arti31023’ as my member name; never really figured that one out. Oh well. My songs, music & acting videos, and link-age to writing with audio (on my web site) are on this page. I am also one half of MonAmi and decided to start posting my collaborations under the rather obvious moniker of My Mi7 Collabs. That’s it. All the best, Boys & Girls; Let’s have some fun!

By the by, Mi7 Friends, over the past year I have been posting songs in various stages of development, here on my Mi7 page, and I have to say that your comments have helped shape these songs, in the final analysis. Thank you for your support and critique. Well, now that they're done, they're on a cd called "Finally ..." It can be bought or listened to—whatever you fancy—at CD Baby or IndieRhythm.com




BEAUTIFUL MONSTER, the fab new dance track by ARTIE Q, MINDMOVIE, & CLAAS REIMER (WI:RE) is available for download, now, by clicking on this image





Hey, F*** my biography, check this out! Who killed the former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko? 
Eastender "Sewer Boy" is unwittingly embroiled in the recent murder of Alexander Litvinenko, the ex Russian spy living in London. Mr. Litvinenko, an outspoken critic of President Putin, was killed by polonium poisoning. Sewer Boy is drawn into the saga by the mysterious "Vlad." He is enlisted for his plumbing skills, in order to gain access to the bathroom toilet where "The Mule" deposits a vial of the radio active poison. Sewer Boy is a delusional, petty criminal who believes he has not only been abducted and returned by aliens, but also possesses body parts that give him superhuman abilities. In short he's a mess, and this interview is a hoot, albeit under tragic circumstances.
This is one of a series of the interviews from around the world. Meet a colorful cast of characters who suddenly find themselves caught up in a dangerous web of espionage, politics and media frenzy. Some of them are unwitting accomplices, others are professional criminals. Let the truth come out on YouTube: The Polonium Files. Thanks for your indulgence, dear Mi7 artists.

SEWER BOY BASEMENT VIDEO—SB tries his hand at music. Needless to say, he's still quite the mess, singing songs about the "Power of One," and seeks redemption for his lost soul by standing in the rain. Unfortunately, there's no hope for him ... he'll never get over the "Primal Pain" trauma of being flushed away at birth by an uncaring mother. Poor Sewer Boy.
Oh yeah. And, of course, here's the obligatory MySpace nonsense 8—)

Title: BEAUTIFUL MONSTER (EXTENDED SINGLE MIX)

Enrolled in contest: Micro-Phones (vote for me!)

Description: POP ©2008. OK, so technically this is a collaboration and should be on my "My Mi7 Collabs" page, BUT ... the old rough version is here (might be interesting to compare), AND, I'm running out of space @ Mi7. ANYWAY, this is a collaboration with the very talented and debonair MINDMOVIE. It is a Single: Original radio mix/extended single and 2 remixes by Mr M and his groovy DJ partner, CLAAS REIMER/CLAASVADER (http://community.mi7.com/profile/6063). Together, Claas & Mindmovie are the fab duo known as "WI: RE." Shall post more in time; just wanted to get the ball rolling. Big Hugs and good luck to any Mi7 artists creating masterpieces at this time. Later, Boys & Girls. RTQ: "Sterling Job, Mr M." Music: MINDMOVIE. Vocals: ARTIE Q (Claas, of course, performed the music for his own remix.) Art Design & Graphics: the wonderfully multi-talented LAURENCE WHITELEY.

Title: THE MOMENT

Description: POP ©2008. From the cd "Finally ..." Pondering the question of how can one "live in the moment" ... I always wanted to try and make the moment last longer, slow it all down, appreciate life as it rushed on by. But the only real solution I can come up with is "gratitude." Being grateful is as near to spiritiuality as this agnostic can get. Ps. there's a great scene in the truly wonderful movie, 'Naked' by Mike Leigh, where David Thewliss delivers what to my mind is "The Celluloid Monologue Of The 20th Century." Lambasting the terminally-mint-eating security guard with the fact that the moment does not really exist because it is always passing into the next, is not only hilarious, it's also tragic. See Blog, above.

Title: I DON'T WANT TO BE IN LOVE

Description: GOTHIC POP TRANCE "... So, I said, Pretentious, MOI???" I have put this up and taken it down more times than I care to remember, but I look back on this "wannabe dance" period of my life with a fond, albeit misguided, longing. And want to stand back one more time and hear and see how it looks nestled among the "now" songs. "I don't want to be in love ...? You must surely be joking, RT, you don't really mean that, do you?" Well, at the time, I did. I surely did. Written in 2001 with Skyko DJ (LA). Must admit, it was a fun outing while it lasted.

Title: BELIEF

Description: AMBIENT POP ©2008 Original cut from the cd "Finally ..." The phenomena of what folk "choose" to believe—faith, that is. Just because we really wish it to be so, does not necessarily make it so. And why do we need a belief? To distract ourselves, primarily; most folk do not do well, alone with themselves—Hah! Interesting that the "alternative-spiritual" crowd who "pooh-pooh" the traditional religions of the world, believing them to be a bunch of fairy tales would not entertain the thought that their own set of beliefs to be equally fanciful. I suppose the ultimate question the song begs is ... How can we be so sure?

OK my dear Artie Q as you have been a good boy - here is the last part of your bedtime story

Deep inside of the cave they watch a ritual performed by the evil magician who is about to wake up Cathul again - it comes as it must a terrible fight between Flaming Bess and arkana against the evil creatures of Cathul who is awake again. Flaming Bess is in a fight with the magician and she finally can put him to death but it seems that they will lose the fight as there are too many of Cathuls monsters. Alexey who followed them recognizes that now he has got his chance to payback - he runs to the magic harp and steals it again - but he gets hurt by the creatures while he captures the harp. He runs runs runs outside the cage and finally escapes into another ice cave using his last available power. But also flaming Bess and Arkana can escape the caves before the mountain crashes down over the cave.
They find Alexey in the ice cave and forgive him, Alexey gives back the harp to them and dies knowing that the godess and Arkana did take his apologies.
Flaming Bess and Arkana get on their way to seal the evil cave of Mara Morbis again, burrying Cathul and his demons in it.

Oh that one. Ha ha ha... Well, it says: "Not ready reading drive C. Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?". That's a typical error message from the DOS era. But there are actually no subliminal messages behind it. It's an image from the internet, which I slightly manipulated. I use it for all the songs that haven't found a home in one of my projects yet.

Subliminal | 5 days ago

Do you mean "Mouse Manipulator from the Low Lands"?

HUMANOISE | about 1 month ago

I like " LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL MONSTER " and " Lamente Path Of The War " But other songs not bad. I can't buy because I don't have money, you know ? How about Dream9 or collaborations of My Mi7 Collabs ? Do you have plan to sell already, RT-San ??

PEACE.

HIROTO.

Hi,

Very interesting stuff here. It's kind of tasty pop music with many delicious hooks. And there is strong confidence reflected in your music that I like. And needless even to say the quality of production is very good. And on top of that you seem to be quite a storyteller. No wonder that you have released a CD.

best regards, Pegasus

Simon | 3 months ago

Hi Dude,

thanks for your comment and for taking time to listen. Nice that you liked my piano playing, made me happy (don't have a clue who Cat Stevens is, I'll look him up)!

Roman Armies and Americana western? That's great! One of my goals with my music is to create "inner images" for the listener, and if you don't see trains, something else is really good (how borning it would be if we all had the same dreams and inner images!)!

I enjoy "The Moment" very much, made me in a good mood. Nice tempo and nice feeling.

Take care!
/Simon
