“Mortals speak in prose. The gods
speak in verse. Stellar souls are forged in the fire of memorable melodies and
dancing words.”
- The
Crow
Ultra-Violent Beethoven is a multi-faceted
recording artist who once sought refuge from the never-ending tumult and
disappointment of his personal life through imaginative self-expression.
After harnessing the mystical powers
of The Crow—which he is learning to embrace as his sacred animal—Beethoven
acquires the uncanny ability to musically traverse a wide variety of
genre-bending soundscapes as a producer, while exploring the full spectrum of
the human experience through his uncanny gift for rhyme.
His musical influences are wide
and varied, from the hip hop sounds of Nas, Rakim, Wu-Tang, and early Common,
to the rock impressions of David Bowie, Radio Head, and Joy Division.
This Summer Beethoven independently
releases his debut LP Daddy Needs A Shotgun (D.N.A), which
is a creative tour de force. This gritty
concept album is an earthy work of art that highlights a philosopher’s vision
of a changing world, and the sense of urgency he feels in his heart as he
struggles to get that vision into the ears of the human populace.
However, once Beethoven's
album falls into the hands of Solomon Journey—a jaded hip hop journalist who
writes for Swag Temple Magazine—Beethoven’s story unfolds and his music comes to
life! Instead of using his art as a form of refuge, he uses it as a shotgun
to motivate and inspire others through the tutelage of The Crow.
“DNA has been a profound
experience,” says Mr. Beethoven who will be producing and directing a short
film to accompany his album.
“It‘s an extraordinary breakdown of a life that has been an emotional
roller coaster. With this project I invite all thrill seekers into the depths of
my personal amusement park.”
You can find Beethoven’s highly
acclaimed album on all major retailing services beginning in August of 2016. You can periodically check in with Mind Glow Media to get some free music from Ultra-Violent Beethoven.
