Propaganda.. Facts!
**January 20, 2021. A Brand New Fucking World!**
Do you see how the pseudo whistleblowers have invented everything and anything for months?! "*Sit back, take your popcorn...follow the plan!*". Today I think they're making up stories as they go along.. just to hang on to something. They project themselves into lies that they end up believing. For a majority of them, they just make up extraordinary stories. It makes them feel important, alive. And we? We believed them! All the bullshit they've been saying for months. For me now, it's STOP. I don't follow them in their rantings anymore! :0)
Beware of false prophets, especially those who said "trust the plan"..
**"We hate Trump!".**
They think for you.. Let me give you a concrete example.
The other day I was talking to some friends, and I said to them: "*There is really a lot of evidence that Joe Biden's fraud on the November 2020 U.S. elections is real. How is it possible that nothing is legally happening about it?*".
And then immediately one of them jumped up and said "*I hate him, I can't see this Trump!*". Then I ask him: "*Why?*".
And there, silence.. for 15 to 20 seconds. Then, answer: "*I don't know..*". Then, a few seconds later: "*He's the devil, he's ruining the world!*". "*Really?*" I answered. "*Give me one single fact that could make you think that this man is unhealthy*". Silence again.
I had a lot of: "*At the TV, they said..*". Too!
How should I interpret this? Except that the French media have repeated so many times that Donald Trump was evil incarnate, that a lot of people ended up assimilating him, I see no other reason. And it's not the first time! They hate him, but they don't really know why. More than ever, think for yourself because if you don't, others will do it for you.
The media lies all day long, and people, having been hammered by the same lies, end up being convinced. Without even checking or reflecting on the subject. It's daily propaganda!
**Think for yourself, otherwise others will do it for you!**
The resistance is getting organised.. watch the world events!
Civil disobedience.. Federate to.

Artisan Studio Session: "A Hope" Recording
The recording of **"Un Espoir" (A Hope)** with **Alchemic Journey**. Check https://read.cash/@SolarPhasing/ten-artists-ten-songs-project-26845289 for more information about the project.
Producing a title in such a short time is a titanic amount of work. First session set for December 22nd. 2 days of work to prepare the demo with some ghost tracks that will help us to record. We are neither in a professional studio nor even in our rehearsal studio, the government directives prevent us from meeting there. We are going to invest the house of a friend and fan of the band: Anne.
We will meet there in the early afternoon, over several sessions, depending on each other's availability. The laptop prepared and configured for the project has shown signs of weakness when there are many tracks with effects treatments. As a last-minute solution, I borrowed a sufficiently powerful laptop from one of my daughters. Understanding, she was kind enough to give it to me immediately. I had to reinstall and configure it. The downloads of the various necessary software seemed to take so long. I haven't slept a wink but the machine is ready! I checked it once, twice, three times.
Now we're off to the rehearsal studio to get the minimum amount of material needed. The room where we are going to set up is not very big. We had to make some choices. We sacrificed the acoustic drum set in favour of a Roland Octapad SPD-30. An electronic drum set with realistic acoustic kits. We will only use it as a Midi controller, the drum sounds being part of my own Rock kits installed on the production machine. Transporting and installing the acoustic drum kit would have been tedious. We would have had to take all the microphones, mic stands, a Studio One mixer and a MAC that we use as a mixing and recording desk. Without forgetting all the necessary connections. Rendez-vous at 1pm at the friend's house, Anne.
We spent the afternoon installing the equipment in the living room, refurbished for the occasion in a recording studio, and fixing a few problems with the MIDI transmission from the Octapad SPD-30 electronic drum kit to the recording machine. The assignment of the different elements based on an acoustic Pop drum kit. The aim here is to reproduce an acoustic drum set in a very realistic way.
It was clear that we were not going to record today.
So we finished the afternoon by rehearsing on the song. So we had Anne rehearse on the choral parts where she has to sing. We have invited her as a guest on this recording. She had requested this as well. To give colour to the voices. Many beautiful things are born from experimentation.
Recording starts tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday 23rd December.
Lockdown "Studio Session", recording the single "Un Espoir" (A hope) for the Album "Des Espoirs", to help our local merchants.

Transaction Fees: Metamask vs MyCrypto
As you have noticed, the transaction fees on the Ethereum blockchain network are more and more exorbitant. We all remember with nostalgia fees as low as a few cents somewhere back in 2020.
Here is a method to save some nice money on your ethereum transactions.
Let me give you an example from today. I had to send 50 DAI to a friend. And it was:
**For Metamask**, fees: $7.28 (Slow)
**For** **MyCrypto**, fees: $3.95 (Standard) or $2.94 (Safe Low) (You can download the app). https://beta.mycrypto.com
**That's almost half the price! And proposed by default.**
How do you explain that by default, in slow mode, the transaction prices on Metamask are so high?! It seems that by default the transaction price is set much higher than necessary. Obviously, your transaction will be fast, but it is apparently twice as expensive. Of course, you can always enter the "advanced options" and set the price of gas yourself. Even if at first glance it doesn't seem that simple. This link will help you: **https://ethgasstation.info** Note that you can also go in "advanced options" with MyCrypto.
Anyway, here is a good way to save on your ETH transaction fees, easily.
**If you can, choose** **MyCrypto**! https://beta.mycrypto.com
As usual, some music of mine. Feel free to join my youtube channel.

From now on, the press invents the history, it doesn't tell it anymore..
Wake up!
There is a proverb that says that "*often reality exceeds fiction*".
Over the past year, a multitude of events have been chained together, under the guise of a pandemic. A global pandemic. COVID19 as described to you in the media simply does not exist. Why am I so adamant? I'll let you analyze the numbers, visit the hospitals on your own, talk to the medical staff who work there, listen to the imminent experts on the subject, the real ones, who are now completely censored. What a beautiful democracy, by the way! There are no more cases of COVID19 this year than there were cases of influenza in previous years. It is simply the annual flu. A flu stamped "COVID19". Maybe a little nastier than usual. In fact, statistically, the flu has simply disappeared. Zero cases. Totally erased from the statistics. Check it out! Who are we kidding? You, me. By an operation of the Holy Spirit orchestrated by your governments, your TV media, the online and print press, all accomplices, are feeding this virus of fear. Because with fear you can do anything. Take a step back and observe what they have already been able to do. Governments don't mean you any good. It's been wanted from day one, It's part of an agenda. A global agenda. Yes, it's scary when you put it like that. But..
Look around you! Observe where we are. Wake up!
"*Often, reality exceeds fiction*".
Think for yourself, otherwise others will do it for you. Get the information from the sources.

Things are going badly.
No matter which side you're on, you just can't be censored like that. Facebook, Tweeter, Youtube can't chose who is able to speak or not!
The world is going bad. Really bad!

Audius, the next Music big thing!
**Audius** is the musical blockchain project that risks cutting the grass from all its competitors, regardless of the blockchain network used. https://audius.co/solarphasing/
Launched in September 2019, **Audius** has now over a million music lovers per month. This makes the platform the most successful in terms of growth.
I joined the **Audius** platform in December 2019 because the project seemed to me to be a good alternative to SoundCloud, whose limitations had increased, and which I didn't want to subscribe to because I didn't think the monthly price of this subscription was justified. Everything was there from the start, no disappointing phase where you miss out on half of the features like some other platforms even today, more than a year or more after their launch. https://audius.co/solarphasing/
**Audius** was a fast, ergonomic platform right from the start. Only **Choon**, now known as **ROCKI** for a new launch very soon, offered such quality. So I started to put my tracks there, quite a few of them. And for a year I used the platform as if I was using SoundCloud. To store some of my compositions and share them. No more and no less. I knew that the ETH blockchain based token (ERC20) was going to be released at some point, somewhere in the future. And even though Audius didn't communicate much about it during this period, I was confident and appreciated the solidity of the platform.
Things got moving in October 2020 when **Audius** announced the official launch of its **$Audio** Token on the Mainnet, and at the same time rewarded the most active users on their platform with a great number of Tokens. **An Airdrop of Loyalty**, so to speak. "*You believed in us? Okay, thank you very much and here's a reward to show our gratitude*". One million users was listening music on their platform. The start of the road to success! The community is also one of the most active on the music blockchain, creating collabs or remixes events.
I will come back explain more about Audius in the next weeks. What's the future is, technically, the governance token, the functionalities, etc.
But.. Without a doubt, **Audius** is for me the most promising platform on the blockchain music market. Want to try it as an artist or a music lover, **just plug here**! You will find a bunch of great music there. The "New Soundcloud"! https://audius.co/signup
Enjoy some music of mine! See you. :0)

Musicoin: From the Ashes of the Phoenix!
**Musicoin** which had been in a state of total freeze for months, with an activity close to zero on their site, and the same thing on the side of the only exchange that still allowed to exchange Musicoins: **Dove Wallet**, seems to come out of the darkness. Indeed, since the Team has just **announced** the **Swap** of the current Musicoin, to a **Musicoin,** this time, really based on the ERC20 protocol. Between the November 15 to December 15 (the Deadline), the Swap will start. The conversion rate from the old $MUSIC token to the new $MUSIC token is 1:1. https://musicoin.org/artist/0xf2f5e01d665bcf3717c05add774c3fcba96d0556 https://medium.com/@musicoin/convert-music-coins-to-music-token-erc-20-397314670974 https://etherscan.io/token/0x35747eb4c027ebbf0a7f4e642627afcd7fd8cd7a
Keep in touch on their **Telegram Channel** for more news. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjDjNbI0ortAhWUEMAKHbX1DCsQFjABegQIARAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Ft.me%2FMusicoin&usg=AOvVaw1iCejj7AgdkVXzV_3bs_ef
For the history, know that Musicoin was the first music streaming site based on the blockchain. A precursor then!
I had very harsh criticism with Musicoin, because we waited more than a year for an interface worthy of the name that could have been able to attract many more music lovers and finally make the platform grow. Artists, that's not enough. You need people to listen to these artists, to buy their music or their merchandise. You need to have a great site to attract them!
When the fall that put them in what seemed like a difficult situation happened, I was an Ambassador for the platform, and I still am, unless I'm mistaken. I mean you have to remain lucid and critical. Pointing fingers at what's wrong. I'm still believing they can do it. A couple of guys there have never given up their passion and motivation to make it done, to make it great. **Hats off to it!** For me the boat had already sunk.. So, let's see what could happen after this Swap!
I hope that this time they will learn their lesson, and that as a result of this Swap they will finally develop a viable platform. It was a great project based on the UBI, and it can do it **from the Ashes of the Phoenix**. The **Yellow Paper** can be read **here**. https://medium.com/@musicoin/debut-a-new-music-protocol-for-fair-play-4a54071d3c69
If you have Musicoins, **here is** the link to know how to convert them to the new Musicoin, by Swapping them. Once the Musicoin stored on **Dovewallet**, when the Swap will start they will be converted automatically. Good news! https://medium.com/@musicoin/convert-music-coins-to-music-token-erc-20-397314670974

Ten Artists, Ten songs Project!
As I mentioned it in this **article** a few days ago, we will participate in the recording of a CD to our local merchants with my rock band **Alchemic Journey**, it's now official! https://read.cash/@SolarPhasing/in-the-mood-cbcc2186 https://www.facebook.com/AlchemicJourneyOfficial/posts/10158877895356182
The press announced it, and the **organizers** "**Je S'Aime et Vous?**"of the project have started to present the artists who will participate in this CD project in order to support our local merchants. They are all closed once again due to the "pandemic" crisis. https://www.facebook.com/jesaimeetvous
We will record a special version of our song "**Un Espoir**" (**A Hope**) with two guest on choirs for the occasion.
"[..]*An Album to help merchants*
*Ten artists, ten songs to support the merchants. This is the initiative of Cindy Laplanche, who, after launching the idea on Facebook, saw a wave of enthusiasm to support her project.*
*It was on Halloween night that Cindy Laplanche decided to set up an initiative to support merchants in the face of the economic crisis linked to COVID-19. Under the guidance of the blue moon, the Valserhônoise wakes up with an idea: to make an album of ten songs. The idea is launched on Facebook, and many musicians, amateurs and professionals from the basin respond.[..]*"
More news to come. We will present all the artists once revealed!
You can listen a reheasal take of the Alchemic Journey song here, recorded in march 2020, just before the first Lockdown. The track has evolved a lot since then, but it gives a good idea of the atmosphere.
**Un Espoir -** **Alchemic Journey**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hISDOpPZO8c
This will be the first time we will record a studio version of one of our compositions, a first step before an Official Album.
We are very pleased to participate in this CD project bringing together artists from the "Bellegardien Basin" to support our local merchants!
See you soon.. Bitcoin Cash Adventurers! :0)

In The Mood
We should write only when we really want to. What's the point of forcing yourself to do it.. even if you have various subjects to cover. It's all about the mood! To be **In The Mood**. The moment seems to have come back. I spent two weeks reading you daily, even though I seemed to be absent. It is now a daily ritual for me to fly over the articles that I might find interesting. It has been for many months, despite some absences, sometimes for long periods of time. Thanks to you all! There are some of you that I really enjoy reading.
Once again in lockdown since 15 days, and the French government has just announced today an extension until at least December 1st, 2020. We have to deal with it, people are not yet ready to wake up. Even if it's probably on the right track.
As **Solar Phasing**, I continue to work and compose, despite everything. I'm keeping my spirits up. https://solarphasing.bandcamp.com
With **Alchemic Journey**, my rock band, projects are cancelled again, or postponed. It's impossible to meet without taking the risk of being illegal, so no rehearsal sessions for the last weeks. https://www.facebook.com/AlchemicJourneyOfficial
A good news came to liven up the darkness of the daily news of these last weeks. An association was set up locally with the aim, among other things, at least for this specific project to help the shopkeepers who are closed again: the meeting and collaboration of various local artists for the recording of a CD in order to transfer the profits to help them. With Alchemic Journey, we will record a track in the studio in order to participate in this project. It's an honor to be part of this project. The song is called: "**A Hope**". Let's hope that this lockdown doesn't last forever, that we can book ourselves to box the song. With the participation of female choirs, as guests. It will be a lot of fun to do it.
I will come back in details on this subject when the time comes. I also have a lot of other things to announce. For example, the fact that I bought the studio monitors with the crowdfunding of "**Electronic Patterns**", launched last May. Presonus one's. The crowdfunding was for. One more time, thank you so much to every person who helped me. Rewards are coming! :0)
On the musical blockchain side, some good news that I will present soon: **Audius**, **Emanate**, and **Musicoin**. https://audius.co/solarphasing https://emanate.live/solar-phasing https://musicoin.org/artist/0xf2f5e01d665bcf3717c05add774c3fcba96d0556
My reading of the moment, re-reading: **1984** by **George Orwell**.
In the same vein, I highly recommend "**A Brave New World**" by **Aldous Huxley**.
Stay positive, let's be supportive! :0)
See you soon.. Space Rockers!
I'll leave you with the album that has been playing over and over for the last few days: **Ozric Tentacles - Space For The Earth**. A must!

CHOON is dead, Long Live ROCKI?
**Bjorn Niclas** who was one of the creators of **CHOON** announced a few weeks ago the creation of a new musical platform on the blockchain named: **ROCKI**. http://www.ROCKI.app
**CHOON is dead, long live ROCKI?**
*"ROCKI: A Hybrid User-Centric Music Streaming Ecosystem Powered By The ROCKS Token Promotions"*
Powered by the **ROCKS** token, **ROCKI** should enter the public beta phase before the end of 2020. I have no doubt that the CHOON experience will be beneficial and that it will arrive operational and fully functional. This was also the great strength of CHOON. All the artists who had a CHOON account will have nothing else to do but wait until the opening of this beta. For the others, you can join this beta following this **link**. The **WhitePaper** is available **here** (september 2020). To keep in touch, here are the ROCKI **telegram** and the **Twitter**. They say: "*ROCKI is not a new version of Choon, it’s a new company, new token & tokenomics and new streaming platform.*". Let's be patient. With a certain impatience on my part, it's true.. because CHOON was amazing, and provided some really nice royalties incomes. http://www.ROCKI.app https://rocki.app/file/rocki_whitepaper.pdf https://t.me/Rockiapp https://twitter.com/rockiapp
**Is this good news?**
Yes, this is great news! The current landscape of music blockchain platforms for independent artists is close to the desert. **Emanate**, for example, is trying to make a go of it, and looks promising. Even if I personally find that its development is lagging behind. We should not forget that **CHOON** was the **best blockchain based music platform**. And this, despite its setbacks and its final closure in December 2019. Within some musical communities, polemics still rage. Some artists do not want to hear about this new platform. This is a mistake! The ecosystem of the blockchain and particularly that of the musical blockchain is still fragile. Take the case of **Musicoin**, the first big platform on blockchain music, the project has also totally collapsed. The site is now in a state of freeze. There has been no communication about what happened. On their Official Telegram, it's all about migrating to a new music coin. A swap. But what's about the website? About the new coin implementation? Nothing. I wish them success. In the meantime, **ROCKI** is a very good news in this music industry landscape! https://emanate.live/solar-phasing https://musicoin.org/artist/0xf2f5e01d665bcf3717c05add774c3fcba96d0556
As soon as the beta is launched, which shouldn't be long now, I'll do a new article about ROCKI. Until then, keep ROCKIN'! :0)
Let's ROCK!

After The Bitcoin Cash November 15 Fork, what?
Hello Bitcoin Cash Rockers!
Lovers! :0)
If you follow the **Bitcoin Cash** news of the last few weeks, you will understand that there will be a Fork on November 15, 2020.
I read all the articles on the subject, mainly on Read.Cash by the way, but a lot of very important topics are not covered. For people who are not really interested in this complex technical part, it would be good to have more basic and functional information.
But for the average user, what will happen?
Will we have to choose a "side"?
Will it still be possible to exchange or use our Bitcoin Cash?
What economic impact could this have on BCH?
From a SLP token point of view?
**So Mr Experts, what is waiting for us after the November 15, 2020, Bitcoin Cash Fork?**
Merci beaucoup! :0)

No Sunday Music, this sunday.
Who cares.. :0)
Freedom to think..
What I think of Read.Cash today.
These two graphs taken from the daily statistics already show the decline, despite the arrival of new users every day. I'll let you go and consult and analyze all the statistics. They speak for themselves. A decline is already clearly observed! https://read.cash/stats
**Read.cash: It's all about Bitcoin Cash!**
Read.Cash really started with a great idea. But he got lost on the way. It's my opinion. But let's go back to the beginnings, to the first weeks.
It was at the end of December 2019 that I landed on Read.Cash. At that time, you probably had 20 or 25 active people every day. I don't have the exact numbers, but I remember the atmosphere very well. Quality publications. Articles rewarded only by user tips. Natural and spontaneous interaction.
I was the first to post about music, art, etc. To believe we can spread the word of art and music here too. At that time, three quarters of the publications were about Bitoin Cash and the blockchain universe. It could even be an achievement to publish about music here. At first glance. I believed! Keywords were much more effective than communities at finding good content. Perhaps there would have been a compromise between the two. For example, select a category, a community, and define 3 keywords. The home page was much clearer than it is today.
It was still possible to express yourself or chat with the creator of Read.Cash without being banned from his profile because you just ask very politely, very nicely, that you want to find quality content by categories on the home page. Yes, I got banned about 5 months ago because I just brought up these things. "*Give me the opportunity to have access to quality content on the home page, please!*".
Maybe, money makes you nervous. You have to look good. Defend your project against donors. Even if it means rushing down a bad path?! Read.Cash followed me recently over Twitter, but I'm still banned here. Paradoxal! :0)) What a gratitude.. for early believers. I am also one of the first to massively share all my publications over Twitter. Advertising both Read.Cash and Bitcoin Cash. From the beginning. I tried to spread the good news everywhere elsewhere. I participated actively, giving feedback, ideas, embbed integrations, for example soundcloud. I believed and I continue to believe in this project. Even, if I'm writing this article, not really with flowers!! :0) https://read.cash/@SolarPhasing/readcash-a-very-reactive-dev-team-299c0453
I think you have to accept criticism when you develop a project of this magnitude. Positive criticism, but also negative criticism. Feeback.. balanced. I manage to understand the responsibility of the weight of such a project. But finally, any project that doesn't listen to balanced feedback is doomed to failure. There are many examples. When you run a project like Read.cash you have to put aside your heightened suceptibility. You have to take all the feedback into account.
And then there was this mad race for users, which brought its share of cloned accounts, of trash accounts. Voting big clans. Waves of spam messages. etc.. **Read.cash: It's all about Bitcoin Cash.** I unfortunately can not point you to publications on this subject since I was banned from the profile in question. Collateral damages. But.. The damage is done, a good part of the first believers are gone. Replaced by an army of encyclopedic publishers. To wonder if the feeling is an important element. A human factor. This army of publishers that I call encyclopedic is only there for the easy money. I doubt that they write out of passion or because they like it, or that even from the bottom of their being there is a desire to communicate something. Besides, let's talk about this "randomrewarder" today that I see tipping several dollars from non-exclusive posts. Pay attention and you will find out for yourself. I almost doubt that it is as neutral as it is said.
Having said that, I have the honesty to say what I think. Freedom to think.. This is not an attack on Read.cash. Quite the contrary. It is just the observation that I make of this adventure on this Sunday morning. There is always time to turn things around for something more positive. You're gonna have to act since the stats aren't working in your favor. :0) With all my respect!
For me this decline is the consequence of not hearing or allowing all voices to be expressed. Because otherwise the site has potential. But from there to scrape up.. A mistake. Bad choices. Not easy to take the good ones. For sure.
**A major exception.**
This will be the first time that one of my posts will not contain music. One way to "protest", or claim, peacefully. Changes! :0)
Wishing you all a peaceful sunday!
Curfew..
Thoughts of a Saturday morning..
The curfew has been declared in France. It is forbidden to circulate from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. All the regions in the red zone are concerned. The big lie spreads like a cancer.. Bars, restaurants, nightclubs, artists, they are all heavily affected economically. This is the second time this year with the confinement of March 2020. Any event in an auditorium or public commune is prohibited. Meetings of more than 6 people are prohibited. Not recommended even in private in a family setting. And.. They are quite capable of confining us again for the holiday season.
You can imagine that this curfew is just a pretext. Any intelligent person will understand that from 6 am the subways are invaded again by people who are going to work. What good is a pseudo curfew?
People who denounce this scandal are banned from all mainstream platforms. Doctors, scientists, whistleblowers, can no longer express themselves freely. Censorship is everywhere.. spreading.
Everything rings false. The news. Numbers.
I find it hard to understand how this huge lie can pass so easily. There is bound to be corruption, bribes. The press? They just repeat like parrots what they are asked to say. There will not be a single courageous journalist, at the risk of seeing his career destroyed, to say that all this is an incredible mass manipulation? No one will make me believe that all these journalists are so stupid that they don't know the truth. It is with full knowledge of the facts that they disseminate the virus of fear on a daily basis.
I suggest you beware of what the mainstream media is telling you. Go and find the information yourself. Think for yourself! To take at face value what the propaganda box tells us is a big mistake. And that's also part of the reason we're here. The people are asleep. We can definitely no longer trust them! Let's wake up!
A brave new world? I do not think so, no.. To see how things evolve, it is a dark future which looms. I hope we haven't come to a point of no return.
My words are only binding on me.
How do you live all this?
Well, let's try to keep our thoughts positive anyway. Some music.

Promoting content with Bitcoin Cash SLP Tokens
I think it is possible to bring new users to Bitcoin Cash using SLP Tokens over Social Media platforms like Twitter, Telegram, Discord, etc.. In my case, for example, it would be to promote a Tweet about my music by interacting with Twitter users, by giving for example 100 MLC for a retweet, or a random amount. It is possible with **CCTip**, in a very simple and inexpensive way. You will find some nice functionalities. It allows you to interact with **Twitter**, **Telegram**, **Discord**, and some more like **Reddit** or **WeChat**, with **BCH** and **SLP Tokens**. Other cryptocurrencies are also available, but it's Bitcoin Cash and SLP Tokens that we're interested in here. https://cctip.io/
I became a strong supporter of **Bitcoin Cash** almost a year ago. Every blog I post on ReadCash is shared on Twitter with the keywords: #ReadCash #BitcoinCash #BCH, etc. I think it's also a daily way of spreading the world about Bitcoin Cash. I assume that every action counts to promote it. It is also a smart way to promote my creative process and music.
Taking the case of an average user, the fact that he receives an amount of Cryptocurrency as a gift can lead him to discover and probably to be interested in cryptocurrencies. In the case of SLP Tokens, it is on Bitcoin Cash that the user would take his first steps. Two birds with one stone, since I can also get this Twitter user to discover my music. It's a smart way to do a bit of marketing and for BitCoin Cash and for my music ultimately. Remember that each share on Twitter generates exponential views, and therefore clicks. It can drive too people already involved in cryptocurrency but who has not yet discovered the power of Bitcoin Cash.
I will probably do a test over ten days. Explore the possibilities offered by CCTip, and see if there is any real return of anything. I find the system really well designed. Check it out here: **CCTip**. You might find it very useful! https://cctip.io
I was promoting this content today on Twitter: my "**In Slow Motion**" EP (2019), but redirecting on Bandcamp. https://twitter.com/SolarPhasing/status/1316669743416344576 https://solarphasing.bandcamp.com/album/in-slow-motion
It's a nice and cool EP, enjoy it! :0)

Pieces of mind (En vrac)
With each passing day we lose our freedom, each day a little more. Laws voted, directives, and other state of emergency. In France, our president will speak this Wednesday live on television. This is obviously not a good sign.. no! A nasty smell of re-containment. If only it was justified.. The big lie! Probably the biggest in the history of mankind.
*"Think for yourself, otherwise others will do it for you!*
Otherwise..
Yesterday in rehearsal with Alchemic Journey, our bassist has been absent for almost 3 weeks, for various reasons. We decided to rehearse anyway. We are working on new songs, new compositions. We have matured, it is now obvious. The sound is refined, the interpretations too. So we take the opportunity to dissect the new songs, and then we jam a lot as well. Let us go to the spontaneity and the mood of the moment. The feeling! What a pleasure!
For this winter we have planned **2 concerts broadcast** on the internet in streaming. The opportunity for our music lovers scattered around the world to finally be able to see us playing live, for them! We will start the rehearsals, with all the technical aspect that it entails to have a quality image and sound, at the beginning of November. If the world hasn't imploded before. Yeah, that's humor. :0) https://www.facebook.com/AlchemicJourneyOfficial/events
Keep in touch for:
December 19, 2020
January 16, 2020
1h30 for each live event.
On social networks there are sometimes interesting interactions. Last week, I shared this image without knowing where it came from.
On Imgur, a person quickly posted a link to its provenance. https://imgur.com/gallery/dUelRJv Saying: *"That's a French illustration for War of the Worlds.* *https://www.gutenberg.org/files/60656/60656-h/60656-h.htm**".* I like this kind of interaction. :0)
Wishing you all a fantastic week.
A 10 years thing I need to re-work one day. Alchemic Journey wasn't yet a band.

Dear Music Lovers, :0)
This Sunday is a special Sunday Music. It's also yours.
What music do you listen? Share some in comment. I would happy to listen to your music. C'mon, play the game! :0)
I listen to new music everyday, and I love to discover new things. I must admit that I mainly listen to independent artists. Probably 90%. It depends on the day too. But I mainly listen to indies. That's a fact. Like me, I want to say.. They need it and they make great music. There is no difference for me between a small indie and a large group of a Major. They all making music! I am very eclectic. I listen to a bit of everything. I have favorite styles, yes, like everyone else I think. Music speak by itself, if it's good: it's good!
**I would be very happy to listen to some of your music. Please share your links in comments. :0)**

Do you like Bitcoin Cash SLP Tokens?
I like Bitcoin Cash SLP Tokens! :0)
While some have utility and/or value, some were born for fun. Take the case of the Spice token, which in reality has no use if not fun, its creator clearly claims it. And it has taken off. Well done!
I created a first one, a couple of months ago related to music, to music lovers:
**MLC**: Music Lovers Coin If you drop a SimpleLedger Adress in Comment I will send you some. They are used to Tip music related things, video, soundcloud link, or whatever. Some people use it, I think it's cool, really. Personally I use it every day on MemoCash. https://memo.cash/token/0a28f8a6f0e610dba7e517fd1a791fdc330a0592b1b1f592f2421374052f320b?tips https://memo.cash/profile/1PWN2vVxXZ3EmAsXoTmX3nBD56sfewpLZL
One day I received 100 **LOL** on MemoCash. How useful could this token be in your opinion? If not to exclaim: LOL. So I use it that way! :0) Fun!
I think anyone can experiment, this is also one of the good things about Bitcoin Cash, the creation of SLP tokens is really cheap. Even not a cent.
Today, I created **YES**, **NO**, and **MAYBE** SLP tokens. Completely unnecessary! To play with, and have some fun! :0)
I've also created two more SLP Tokens related to music a couple of days ago, but related to my music this time. They are **NFT's tokens,** so you can create NFT's childs. I will do a specific publication about it. I need documentations about how I want to use them. Hope I could.
Check out this publication to create your own token. https://read.cash/@SolarPhasing/experimenting-slp-tokens-aa60bfd2
So.. Do you like Bitcoin Cash SLP Tokens? Your favs?
See you soon.. Space Rockers! :0)

[Part 1] 10 Years in Music: The dotSpice Trip!
Hello Music Lovers, :0)
A quick overview of a good ten years in music. Through different projects. It is not exhaustive.. far from it. Rather, these are the most "popular" tracks on Soundcloud. **Woodoo Prod** found interesting to compile this "data". For fun at first. The idea in mind is probably an official compilation.
If I had to choose my favorite compositions, I wouldn't make this playlist. Besides, what playlist would I do?
There you can discover music from **dotSpice**, **Alchemic Journey** and **Solar Phasing**.
https://soundcloud.com/woodooprod/sets/best-of
Let's put the context back.
**dotSpice (.Spice)**
During the summer of 2008 we started recording compositions for an Album to be called "**First Steps**" with **dotSpice**. The project will not succeed in the end because the bassist no longer had time to devote himself to music, taken in his studies. Initially it was him, Julien Lafosse, who initiated this album project. It's life! We must not stay on regrets. I have no regrets. You always have to keep moving forward, exploring new paths, new things.
The first track released was "**Road To India**", a trip hop rock dub composition. I worked two hours before rendering my guitar parts on a demo that was already well advanced in terms of arrangement. A great grooving bass line, nice brass interventions.. then a bass slide solo in reverse mode. Mean the track was reversed after recording as an effect. Julien clearly had genius in originality. The next day the track was mixed, finished. As it is.
**Road To India**: this version is a 2013 remastered (by Woodoo Prod). The track is mixed differently.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDot9Lx6gko
"**Ruins Of Ur**" followed very quickly the next day, or 2 days later. I can't remember well. A solid Reggae Rock pulse, where he gave me space to record some really good guitar parts: themes or solos. Same process, I worked a couple of hours and recorded my parts on the fly. On some parts the guitar is slightly out of tune, but this does not affect the song. On the contrary it brings a special texture. I love this reggae beat on time 2 and 4. Sounds like the band "The Police". And the guitar effect like a lion at the end of the cycle. Great! The next day the track was produced, and finished. As it is.
**Ruins of Ur**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wao6KS9E_YE
After these two "First Steps", Julien sent me a short demo with a chords intro, some bass parts and keyboard, saying: "*I don't know what we can do with that. I'm not sure about it. Feel free to work on it, then let me know..*". I said him: "*I feel it really good, let me work on it and see what we can bring. This chords progression is very good!*" And the downtempo track "**Nebula**" was in progress. As Julien was no longer available,studying, as I previously mentioned it, I sent him a demo with the guitars in December 2008. He really liked it, and then I took time to record the final parts. I also fully produced this one. The two first are produced by Julien. The final track of "Nebula" was released in April 2009. We feel that there is more work on this composition.
**Nebula**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oh34T-Wi3M
For the titles of the songs, Julien chose them. I still don't know what idea he had in mind, by the way. 12 years after, I often say to myself: "*That's good, that was really good stuff!!*". The project was really off to a good start. So that's what's left of it. Officially: these three pieces. I still have some good demos, unfinished tracks or basic ideas on a backup drive, recorded during the winter 2008/2009. So. Who knows..
My fav is Nebula. But they are all good! We were thinking of recording 7-10 tracks before releasing the Album under the name "First Steps".
**Download the tracks for Free!** https://soundcloud.com/woodooprod/sets/dotspice
**Fun fact: We worked through the internet, we never met, irl.**
Another very important fact: the summer 2008 marked my official return to the world of music after a break of almost 10 years. **dotSpic**e sparked the urge to create again. The first **Alchemic Journey** compositions were also born that summer, then the **Solar Phasing** idea was emerging, too.
See you on the next episode! :0)
About **Alchemic Journey**, who was at the start a solo project, and then a rock band since 2014, mainly focused now on Progressive Rock.

How to improve SatoshiWall..
**SatoshiWall** is a great initiative in the world of selling goods with BitcoinCash. You can sell whatever you want there. Very simply, quickly. But.. https://satoshiwall.cash/?ref=SolarPhasing
The problem is that the platform is not working. Why? Maybe because it doesn't really inspire confidence. No possibility to browse by categories. It is confusing. And so spamy, actually. Categories like: services, music, ebook, coding, graphic, various, etc.. would target navigation. Imagine going to your favorite site and not being able to select a category, quite honestly it would no longer be your favorite site.
**I think the first thing would be to be able to create categories**.
**The second thing is to award a "reliable seller" badge to people who have made sales**. This would give potential buyers confidence.
**The third thing, also essential in my eyes, would be to be able to use a search engine on the site**.
These are obviously only suggestions, and my humble opinion, which is only binding on me, but I think that could be a game changer! What is your opinion?
I'm selling some of my music on SatoshiWall, feel free to check out! I have already made a dozen sales, many coming from users from Read.Cash. Feel free to support me in this way. https://satoshiwall.cash/@solarphasing

Santana, The Rythm Machine [Sunday Music]
Hello Music Lovers, :0)
It's Sunday, **It's Sunday Music**!
I remember when I was 10 or 11, maybe. Probably 11 years old, because I already had this radio cassette that my parents gave me for my birthday, just before going to college. I wouldn't go so far as to say that my sleeplessness started around this time, but from that point on, once in bed, I spent a good part of the night scanning world radios. I came across something interesting and I sank into the wildest dreams to the sound of this music which reached me from the 4 corners of the earth.
One night I came across a live session, a concert, on a Latin American radio station. The music takes me to the guts immediately. The guitarist was really excellent, telling me stories with his guitar. At the time I played the saxophone and I listened to a lot of jazz. I say to myself: "*But damn, this guy is talking to me on his guitar.. he tells me stories*".
It was a concert by **Carlos Santana**.
Carlos Santana today: **Mona Lisa Live**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuNWYcxhito
**Carlos "Devadip" Santana** is a mexican composer and guitarist, born in USA on July 20, 1947. He started his fantastic career playing at the Woodstock Festival on August 1969. It was also in 1969 that Santana released his very first studio album called "**Santana**", which met with immediate success and left its mark on a whole generation of rock fans. It is indeed the first time that a music group mixes rock and Latin sounds. "**Abraxas**" will follow the following year and will be ranked number 1 in record sales in the United States for six weeks, definitively launching Carlos' career.
I call him: "La machina del rythmo". The Rythm Machine!
**Soul Sacrifice live at Woodstock Festival 1969**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaaT_HRb4GU
My fav Album is **Caravanserai**. The one I would take to a desert island. It's a conceptual one. I love so much too things like Borboletta, Moonflower, Lotus.. And Abraxas is a legendary one, for sure.
As you certainly know, I'm a guitarist too. I'm playing blues and rock and roll for almost 30 years, Santana was one of my main influence when I start playing guitar. One of the first track I learned to play the solo was **Song Of The Wind**.
Enjoy your sunday! :0)

A music platform on the Bitcoin Cash network?
A fact!
Will there be no one to design a music platform on the Bitcoin Cash network?
When I see all these crypto music projects which start from a good intention but which for the moment do not lead to much, if it is not good gusts of wind, I say to myself: "but how is that possible?" Has anyone thought of a Bitcoin Cash project like this?
I mean the cryptocurrency is there, already well established, one of the best current cryptocurrencies, not to say the best if you look closely at its characteristics.
Gentlemen, developers, it's up to you! Build us a music platform where fans can buy tracks with #BCH, stream music, tip their favorite artists, etc. The possibilities are endless. Even merchandizing.
For example, you could take a percentage of sales, etc. to make the project viable. Flipstarter could be helpful too.
So what?
