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


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: 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: LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL MONSTER

Description: POP ©2008. ROUGH DRAFT. Now that "Finally ..." is out the way, I can get on with new stuff. YEEHAH! A few hiccoughs impeded this song's progress, recently, but I'm on the ball, now. 8—)

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?

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 | 7 days 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!

Hey Robin,

I replied to your message, but now I don't even get the code-monkeys alert anymore. In stead, I got redirected to the login page. Are those good people of MI7 trying to make a point here? ;-) Anyway, I hope it got through.

Regards,

Michel.

P.S. My messages are too many so you don't need to send me back, O.K ????

Probably you are just waking up Mighty Quinn, but nevertheless you asked for it now you get it.

Somehow Alexey the thieve manages to escape in last minute. He realises that he has to leave Aklabeth. Without really thinking about it he rushes out of the city into the ice desert of the northlands. He walks through the snow for days and days and starts to hear voices. He is about to lose his mind as the voices do not stop to whisper that the theft has been his biggest fault. He feels so guilty, tired, hopeless and ashamed about himself that he would love to die. He has been walking about a week now with no food as he suddenly sees two people in white ropes on their horses riding in front of him. He discovers that those two pale riders are Flaming Bess and Arkana. Both are on their way to the caves of Mara Morbis. The cave they have sealed aeons ago using Kundalin the magic Harp to capture Cathul the demon of all evil. Alexey decides to follow them. Hdeeply regrets what he has done and wants to ask Flaming Bess and Arkana for their forgiveness. A couple of days later Flaming Bess and Arkana reach the caves of Mara Morbis not recognising that Alexey is still following them.
They find that the magic seals of the caves have been broken, the harp has been abused. They go into the caves - deeper and deeper and deeper .........


And now it's bedtime again Artie. If you are a good boy - well maybe I'll tell you some more on another day.

Hi Artie,

How are you? I stopped by and listen to "The Moment" - Nice track!

Please feel free to stop by at my page and check out some of my new tracks. I've got a "Nightmare Suite" for you clocking at 8 minutes, not "nerdy inner tumoil" perhaps, but... well... terror. And some turmoil perhaps.

Take care!

Got a monster waiting for ya and I find it artilicious !!!!

flamingbess | 2 months ago

Well RTQ - have you been a good boy today ???? Ok Ok Ok Sandman Mindmovie is coming to tell you part two of the bedtime story about the "Guardians of the Light"

Alexey has finally got Kundalin the magic harp in his hands and he sneaks off to the canalisation of Aklabeth - the secret meeting point he and the evil magician agreed on - to exchange the old harp against gold and jewels. They finally meet there and everything seems to happen as agreed. The Magician is very very exited as Alexey hand over harp to him - awaiting to get his loan for the theft - but instead of receiving the gold from the evil man - he sees that the magician holds a dirk in his hands ready to take Alexeys life. At the very last moment Alexey can escape the magicians stroke - and for the first time alexey realises that he will never receive anything for the theft instead of this he was betrayed by the evil man.

Of course he wants to strike back but at that moment the warriors of Flaming Bess who have been searching for the thief arrive in the canalisation of Aklabeth. The magicians just makes a rush with his hand ----- and dissapears ---- leaving Alexey alone in front of Flaming Bess's warriors.


And now it's again time to go to bed for small tiny RT's - it will be a long day tomorrow and you need to sleep now. May the forces of light guide your dreams.

Mindmovie | 2 months ago

OK - first part -
You need to know that many many years ago Flaming Bess has captured the demon Cathul in the caves of Mara Morbis after a long and bloody fight against him and the evil creatures of the darkness. The caves are located in an ice desert. She has sealed the cave using "Kundalin" the magic harp playing a melody which sealed the caves. This magic harp is kept in her palace in Aklabeth. Well the starting point of the story is the hall of thieves in Aklabeth where Alexey the thief lives. He is a member of the clan of thieves - they are not really bad guys but they need to do this profession to make enough money to survive. On a beautiful day and fully unexpected "Der Verhuellte" - an evil magician and half demon comes into the hall of thieves and gives the thieves an order to steal the magic harp. He is promising them lot's of gold in case they are successful. The only thief who finally is successful and really manages to steal the harp - but without knowing what this harp is capable to do is .. Alexey.

And if you are a nice guy Artie and now go to sleep - well than I will probably continue to tell you the full story - heheheh

Mindmovie | 2 months ago

As regards the story - when I'll have a little time I'll give you a brief summary about the adventures of Alexy the Thief - Flaming Bess - Arkana (her husband) the evil demon Cathul and his creatures. But are you sure you can till sleep when you know what the story is about ?

Mindmovie | 2 months ago

And - by the way - I still have not received anything from MI7 - so I am still waiting for this technology monster
