Boys Of Putworks
Ghost Opera II Previews
Breakout 2015-17

Most of the people in the world must be rather honest and decent. 

If most of the people were evil-extremists, it would create so many impossibilities, that this world would stop working.

When for example two cheating liars tries to make a deal with each other, they both would try to cheat and lie as much they could. 

The business negotiations would last very long. Quite often the deal couldn't be done. Because both suspects each other, and they cannot agree with the  price / terms.

Since hardly anyone comes back after getting cheated, evil extremists always need busloads of "stupid fools", with whom they can practice their disgusting ways.

Therefore the number of decent and honest must always be much more bigger than the number of cheaters.

Attention, please

In 1980's there was research about traffic.

People said that other drivers do not behave very well.
But when it was researched around 95% from the drivers were polite and neutral. Only 5% acted like jerks. 

Final conclusion was, that this 5% minority got so much more attention from the other drivers, that general opinion came from the things this 5% minority did on the road.

Honesty pays - is there a connection ?

In 2nd hand car sales tempered^* mileages are rather common in USA and Germany. 

There aren't any researches from the way prices of used cars have developed in these countries. Quite obvious, that in the beginning the tempered mileages gave lots of additional value to the used cars.

Nowadays - when buyers are fully aware -  prices of the 2nd hand cars are certain to be considerably lower than in other countries. Although when you look at the mileages, sold old cars are "almost new", when compared to neighboring countries.

Since re-sale value of your old car drops like a rock, the tempered mileages makes new or newer cars expensive to buyers. You need lots of cash, when you trade your car.

When growing countries are excluded, after millennium sales of the new cars has dropped around 50%. Between years 2005 - 2010, sales went down with an excessive rate. In 2010 all major car manufacturers in all around the world were either near or in bankruptcy.

Since prices drop quickly, regardless from the condition, it is rather stupid to spend lots of money into maintenance and repairs.

After the trust is gone, it is almost impossible to get it back.

Carnival, Deathbells to the extremists, Funerals for the jerks were released on Ekr833 site, in response to the publicity of the site. Reminders for the hacked DPS at your service site.

+ + Deathbells to the extremists  + +

Deathbells is a textbook sample from the way popular music develops. When Death bells was released, most of the melody was based on non-commercial sequences / tones. After the melody / song was modified for the 1st release, the non-commercial sounds were still in the song - it was very easy to hear the stranger, non-commercial sounds. If you listen the song for 1st time now, you cannot hear the stranger sounds in it anymore. The strange sounds in the song, have become part of the mainstream music.

For a mainstream music and melody maker it is always important to follow the most popular songs. At least from your own genre. If you plan a longer career or best selling season to yourself, it is also important develop and bring something new into your music. If you do not do so, others with something new, will overrun you and your music. 

+ + Pop 21st Nov 2015 + +

The melody and song was made in late November 2015. During the time our site was completely down. The melody is commercial. When you write commercial pop songs, there two kinds of tones / sounds from which they are built.  Easy sounds can be dropped to the melody on when-ever-needed basis. Difficult sounds need lead ins and outs, before they fit into smooth pop-sound.

This melody was made over two consequent "rolling" hits. They are played in the beginning and few times during the play. This "rolling double hit" belongs to the difficult sounds. Cycles before the hits are preparations for the hits, cycles after the hits brings the melody back into common pop mode. When you make music to masses, the sound must be smooth, roughness and cracks are forbidden. Tone palette is heavily limited. You must follow the taste of the mainstream listeners. When times are bad, melancholy melodies and tones are popular, etc. Very difficult to write a melody for the pop song of the year.

The scale is 1 octave and 3 full notes. Most of time melody runs in one octave tube. In few parts you got to stretch a little from the standard. Similar kind of short term stretches are rather common in opera and classical music.

When we listened it, it sounded better without arrangement. Common drums for example were too "heavy" for the melody. Decided to play 2 / 4 step system with bongos. The first 2/4 from 4/4 Goes with bang-bang with one bongo. Then comes the another, which the beginning for second 2/4 in 4/4. Then there aren't hits for the last step. Baby Elephant Walk has the rhythmic system.

Song has a full length smoothly running melody. Easy to make a song with lyrics over it. You do not have to fix or hide melody track with the arrangement. It has unique and fresh commercial sounds in it. With lyrics and commercial use, the melody would suit well for ballad - During work-time lyrics came also in to talks.  

When melody goes to lyric writers and singers, they make small variations to melody with lyrics. When you adapt lyrics to melody, in musical view you change play time of the notes. Some times you cut half note to two quarter notes , etc.

Besides cuts and changes in play times, singers also fine tune the pitches.

In music making melody comes first. When you have an idea for lyrics, you got to think the melody on fly, at the same time you write the actual words.

Within a year, Jack usually writes few good quality pop-rock melodies for Boys, which are left to archives, because they are not needed. Boys own plays have usually minimal arrangement, if you make song with lyrics from released melody ( with lyrics and commercial arrangement ), your song sounds very different from Boys instrumental play. I have promised to register all melodies and songs by demand. So that no-one has to steal, cheat or envy Boys. Getting my / Boys name into credits boost sales quite a lot. Despite the shared fee, your incomes should be at least at the same levels, than they are with your own production.

+ + Pop 1st 2016 + +

Made Pop 1st 2016 before concentrating to the keyless melodies. There are four arrangements from the melody. Ghost bass drum begins the 4/4 cycle. In some parts common bass drum has some confusing additional hits ( for musical reasons ). The song has the same 4/4 rhythm throughout the play.

There aren't any production time notes for this song. The pitch range is 1 octave and 3 full notes.

When we add 4/4 rhythm into songs, in principle you could do it just like that. But when you do so, the musical experience usually suffers quite a lot. Besides giving the rhythm,  drums have also many musical functions in the songs. They are for example used for switching from one theme to another : An additional drum hit takes your attention, and hides the change in the melody. Another common musical function for drums is enforce function. When theme ends into long note, or there is double note in the melody, these are often enforced with additional drum-crash hits.

When you smash 4/4 into song  just like that, these musical functions vanishes and the song loses something.

Another thing are the adjustments. With the adjustments, we usually try keep or make a connections between 4/4 rhythm and the melody.
