  • ~ The Altruistic Messiah ~ a.k.a. ~ Ben Vandagriff says

    I have a new tune on my page & it's called 'Jazzy Blue' 
     This is the first time I've gotten to record within my brand spanking new ~ totally optimized Ashram / Asylum ~ & I must say with  this updated digital recording facility & some new axes to grind ~ it is truly a luxury at it's finest ~ at least it is for me me me !!!!! So here it is ~ just a rhythm track I'd made over the last couple of days ~ in order to  acclimate myself with all the new toys I now have at my disposal . . .  I'll be writing lots of new lyrics as well as new music ~ as I explore all of these wonderful tools ~ & continue developing the multi-genre eclectic material that most of you recognize as something I would most likely (certainly) would be making anyways . . . I'm writing songs for both of my next projects ~ the follow-up to my debut CD now available on Moiko Records ~ it's a new concept album I've been (Ben) working on for over a year & a half ~ as well as the awesome new version of The Altruistic Messiah's latest touring band ~ a line up consisting of life long friends & a few of the most amazingly talented new individuals I have just recently had the honor to become associated with ! I am always wishing each & every one of you the very best ~ & this continues to be the primary focus of any & all communication between us as individuals ~ it is my belief that this concern is fundamental in the advancement of humanity ~ & that this is the reason we are alive ~ that this is what we are living for ~ as human nature must transcend into something greater than it ever has been (Ben) ~ as every single one of us collectively evolve into everything we are destined  realize ~ & we must leave no man or woman behind ~ FUCK WAR ~ I know I go way of the beat & path often ~ but I love everyone !!!!!! Peace , Ben

    Music is Living in Motion !
    By conceptual design I've successfully incorporated an obscure semi-random artificially intelligent element of transitional potential throughout every applicable aspect of my artistic creativity. I am providing this optimal psychological communication, & therefore developing an ideal situational environment that will facilitate the sustained future transformational possibilities in relation to all of my musical compositions. This is truly a new revelation! I do this in order to allow the music to forever move forward , to refresh, to remain in transition, in perpetual motion, to organically grow, to become something that's always different from what it just was, to evolve beyond what it is now & to constantly change into what it eventually inevitably might someday become. I am bringing the music to life !!!!! http://www.cdfreedom.com/artists/thealtruisticmessiahbenvandagriff/catalog/theceoofrockroll.1/
