I will delete your comment if it has any guns in the picture or if you are promoting violence against other living beings or self destruction to yourself. I believe anything non-peaceful is heading is an adverse direction. This is not what I'm about and do not wish to be associated with people that are this way. If you are mean and want hurt other people, the only way you will feel happy again is to stop thinking that way -->change directions now. Be happy please. Love one another, it comes back to you and is the only way to achieve a higher state of being. LOVE ALL and APPRECIATE ALL kindness and love someone gives you and return the favor by giving it to everyone around you.

Alex has been writing all of these songs with a prolific songwriter, Kay Glynn and recording with an amazing producer, Kevin Fisher. Inspiration for a couple songs has come from a world peace and vegetarian activist, Punya.

This is a song that was written in support of the ideals of former Democratic Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich and his House Resolution 1234: To end the United States occupation of Iraq immediately. To find out more about the Ohio Congressman, Dennis Kucinich, please click here (where my song is the profile song): myspace.com/denniskucinich
I intend to do a video with compelling visuals that don't involve just me singing into a mic, but this is all I have for right now.
The day after I released my video on the internet, I was contacted by the producer of the official "Kucinich Weekly Update" and then "Strength Through Peace" became the soundtrack that began and ended the segment. I have posted one of my favorite episodes, which has an interview with Melissa Etheridge (for other episodes, go to youtube.com/kucinich2008): ~Much Love, Alex Arndt
Also check out Alex's interview with Tim Pyles in San Diego's FM 94.9 Studio. This is footage from right after the Alex Arndt band played three songs live in the studio in Jan. 2007
"Alex's music is perfect for sitting on the beach watching the sun go down on a beautiful summer day."
-Tim Pyles (Radio DJ), San Diego's FM 94.9
"Arndt plays music that doesnt conform the mold of any specific genre of music... instead, Arndt produces a sound all of his own." ....
"Arndt has an appealing way of utilizing his voice and lyrics to match his melodies and evoke a mood. His lyrics and voice fit naturally with the music, as if one couldnt exist without the other."
-Lauren Proctor, Northeast In-Tune Magazine
"These are light rock tracks recorded and performed with good energy and experience. The song writing is excellent and the instrumentation adds depth to the disc. This melody based singer songwriter formats and puts together these tracks with talent and well planned verse and chorus sections. Very radio friendly tracks all the way through. The vocals are a great fit for the material and the progressions are very catchy. The mix is done very well. Excellent balance of instrumentation though the disc as a whole, sounds slightly thin. Good production as well. This band is all around good rock songs with a lighter touch. Excellent songs from beginning to end."
-A&R Select
For a week in Jan. 2007, Alex Arndt was
featured on the Sonicbids.com main page.
Alex's new band "Sonic Paradigm" has a self-titled album coming out in Oct. 2009. This album has been written with the help of another songwriter Kay Glynn and a couple songs had been inspired from spiritual vegetarian warrior, Punya. "My Innocence Begins Today", which Arndt performed at Animal Rights 2008 in DC in Aug. 2008 is also a music video which will be released with the new album in Oct. 2009. Infinite Spectrum Productions of Phoenix, AZ has produced a music video which was filmed in late March 2009.
Alex Arndt presents electro alt-rock that reveals both compassion and energy, distinctiveness and accessibility. His songs show the heart of a thoughtful songwriter that doesn't self-censor and who believes in emotional honesty. The music is full of melody and hooks, tempered with intelligence and unique creativity. This music shows how songs can be both pop-friendly yet imbued with artistic integrity.
Every Emotion Possible
“Music is everything to me,” says Arndt. And why shouldn't it be? It's the ultimate musical expression and somebody with the pure musical talent of Arndt should feel an intimate kinship with music. Indeed, his very personal relationship with song comes across in his music, drawing in the listener and making him a part of the rainbow of emotional experiences summed up in Arndt's songwriting. “Music lets me feel every emotion possible.” It's a universal experience focused into bursts of human creativity and conjured in moments of time and space. “Since music is made from vibrations of everything in the universe, everyone can understand it on some level. Music is passion flowing through my veins.”
Non-Contrived Inspiration
Arndt understands that for songs to have true identity and distinguish themselves from a big music industry comprised of everything from the best to the worst (Arndt's analysis of the realm of music), that the creator has to allow the inspiration to flow freely without trying to artificially bend it. “I am coming from the point of view where I am just writing from pure, non-contrived inspiration. The money means nothing to me.” The music is everything. Just ask anyone who's heard Arndt's songwriting. They'll tell you they feel the same thing. The music is everything.
Emotions
Music is an emotional being. Arndt understands that and makes sure that each and every time, emotional value is at the foundation of his songwriting. His tunes are wrapped around emotional expression, the coalescing in artistic form of the human feeling. “I find inspiration in my emotions.” He also understands that the key to those emotions is understanding that they are a reflection of the world that surrounds a person. “It's how the environment around me makes me feel at any given moment,” he says.
The Artist at Work
Alex has performed at such hot spots as Las Vegas' House of Blues, The Key Club, The Viper Room, The Knitting Factory, Highland Grounds and Fais Do Do in Los Angeles, Whitlow's on Wilson in DC, Boston's Harpers Ferry, Eugene's Cozmic Pizza and many more. He has been a featured Spotlight artist on Sonicbids.com and has been reviewed by Northeast In-Tune Magazine, Great American Song Contest, Nashville Songwriters Association International, Papercut Records, and Enfuse Magazine. Alex also was the recipient of an honorable mention in the Singer/Songwriter Awards for his song “Oh Well.”
In Jan. 2007 Alex Arndt and his band performed live on San Diego's FM 94.9 (You Tube video further up on this myspace page). Alex has also performed live on FOX and ABC news stations in San Diego, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, he has been quoted and sited in music articles in the Chicago Sun-Times, the San Diego Union Tribune, and the Los Angeles CityBeat, and has done live radio interviews in San Diego, Chicago and Baltimore. Arndt also received credit for writing the original composition of the vocal melody for "So In Love With You" by Director, Tony Tarrantino.
