REMIX ABL TIME

Hello internet world people. I come to you today with one thing in mind and that is remixes. I will be posting up a few stems of different songs of mine that i'm able to stem out or whatever you call it. Here is the first track for ya'll to fuck with called the pump. If I get enough remixes of this one song or any of the songs I post we will put it together for a release somewhere.

Please feel free to do your thing. This song is different from other songs since I used actual guitar loops. I was hanging with Anthony of Xrin Arms and just kinda inspired off of him to write this track. Enjoy!

You can send in your tracks to:

abeautifullotus@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing what you come up with.




Here is the Zipped version.

Here is the RAR version for you who use RAR.

the legend of hara-kari kitty..reblog from ROBO! robotica

The last release of the year for us and we bring it hard.  Several years back a high school student decided to do something different with computer generated music and with it was born Hara-Kari Kitty.  Hailing from Alamo Texas, which is just a few miles away from the RR headquarters Christopher Perez brought something to life that was totally life changing for me and alot of others.  I was dating a girl who was really into a bunch of the same kind of music I was listening to at the time and I had started writing music very slowly for my project A Beautiful Lotus, she seemed to enjoy what I was doing with it at the time.  During this time I had no idea what was going down just a few miles away.  My girlfriend at the time would tell me about these house shows that featured alot of nakedness and kids doing electronic music.  I was like well I don't really want to go out and see a bunch of high school kids play out of an iPod, id rather go do a death metal show and try to grope you trough your pants.  So what I did was did some research on the once booming Myspace to find such bands as Happy Sucky! Basil the Mouse and Hara-Kari Kitty.  I wasn't too into the other two bands but I totally respected them for what they were doing.  But HKK wasn't doing something that I would just tend to brush off. I was totally enthralled by what I was listening to from the second I pushed play.  I hadn't played live yet and hadn't planned on doing so just because I didn't think  it would be worth it, and I figured people were so closed minded they would be like whatever...but thats a whole other story.  Hara-Kari Kitty pushed the envelope for its short time in existence and paved the way for the whole sub-genre (s) that was created from then on.  It was posted on a blog that the reason HKK was killed was for the massive growth in shit in the micro, cyber, electro, midi, and so on grind categories.  I know there is a ton of genres and sub genres that get thrown around very loosely and i'm not too into using them but if you were around at the time of the peak of the Myspace micro movement you know how congested it got.  A ton of great bands got lost in the mix due to the massive amount of bullshit that got put out at that time.  What I have set out to do from day one was to bring you the history of what we do.  This little piece of history will be set in stone forever and my goal is to keep it in everyones heart and or mind.  This did happen and you shouldn't forget about it.  Enjoy the discography of the artist that totally changed my view in life musically and gave me the strength to grow out of my shell and do what I needed to do.  All good things come to an end and when that day does come all we have is the memories.  Here I bring you another memory for you to keep stored away in your hard drives for all eternity.  Thank you again and have a happy and safe new year.  There is a ton of new in 2011 so prepare for even more great FREE releases and a whole lot more. -RR!

Pizza Mountain The Album!

This has ultimately become the actual start of where the Pizza Mountain is going to go. I have decided that the image I want to give off with this album is the feeling of a roller coaster ride of sorts. The ups, downs, twists, and turns that life brings us on a daily basis.

I have a good lineup of artists that will be making guest appearances on the record. Some vocally and some as characters in the ride that is Pizza Mountain.

I have a great idea for the cover as well. Stay tuned to this blog to get updates on the recording of Pizza Mountain and everything in general regarding A Beautiful Lotus.

Also visit the net label I run. A ton of free music downloads of new up and coming artists. Alot of new is on the way for Robo! Robotica so keep an eye out.

Robo! Robotica Net Label

So I renewed my domain name abeautifullotus.com and it had been getting directed myspace for the past few years. I decided to have it point to this blog instead just for the fact that I can do a lot more through here now than on myspace. Plus ill be using adsense so any clicks on any of the ads would help out a lot ABL wise.

I've been holding off on writing the new album and aything from the color series mostly because I've been trying to get this song together (which for the time being will rename nameless) which is a cover song that will be used to shop a certain compilation to a huge major label. But I'm not getting into that right now. Katie and [tlr] asked me to do this and I am really excited to even have been asked to do this. Its tough on me since I really never written a cover song so this has become quite a challenge lately but a good task to get me back into the groove of things. Yes I have been uber busy lately since I made a baby with a girl and have been totally up to my elbows in diapers and formula. But all is well and the new stuff will totally be worth the wait....I promise.


In the mean time keep an eye on this blog for free music by me and all sorts of other goodies. Please tell your buddies about this blog and spread the word please.

Feel free to send any kind of inspiration to abeautifullotus@gmail.com
