(H⁺) M.S.G.

(H⁺) M.S.G. is central Connecticut’s own fractal rocking poet/songwriter with an array of influences that straddle that fine line between eclectic and schizophrenic. Creativity by inner compulsion there can be no stopping. His greatest hope is to bring fractal music into the public eye.

For those who are new to the scene, (H+)’s name may present a problem for pronunciation. The full name (H⁺) M.S.G. is always pronounced “Acid” M.S.G. rather than “H plus” M.S.G. When the (H⁺) is alone it can be pronounced “Acid”, “H plus”, or just “H” as one wishes. The M.S.G. never has spaces between the letters and they are always pronounced as separate letters.

Interested in updating his profile more often than he has been (H⁺) has started offering a poem of the week (P.o.t.W.) in his blog section. In addition each poem will be accompanied by a short blog detailing that week’s projects as well as any interesting thoughts that come to mind. The poems will include free verse, rhyme, or syllable constraint depending on how the mood strikes him. Each poem will be left up for four weeks after being posted and will then be removed to prevent clutter.

I have also started reposting deleted poems of the week in the forum of a poetry group. I will add a link to each poem in an ongoing list in the following blog: Poem of the Week Archive

Donations for Mastering

I have chosen to add a Paypal donation button to my profile in order to raise money to have my upcoming album release “Drain” professionally mastered. I hope to release that album sometime in the late spring or early summer.

I thought the donation button would be ideal for those who enjoy my poetry but find my current batch of songs a bit much to take. I also intend to release several free songs more inline with my more evolved style of songwriting before I release “Drain”. Anyone who enjoys those songs is free to donate as well.

Any size donation will be appreciated and to show my gratitude the ten most generous donors will be thanked personally in the CD’s liner notes. They will also receive a free autographed copy of the album. If I do not receive enough to master “Drain” then I will hold the mastering donations over for the next album release “Honeyland” due out in the late winter. Everyone who donates will be thanked in a blog listing their names and will receive a poem available only to donors.

Fractal Rock

For a short introduction to (H⁺)’s start in fractal music as well as tips for creating fractal music of your own there is a short blog here.

The Archive

For those curious about (H⁺)’s pre-fractal songs he has set up an archive of songs taken from the period between the recording of his first album “Confessions of a Meatpacker” and the release of “Amara”. Included in the free player’s song list is the first Fractal music album he ever released “A Nightmare of Mars”. Listen to the archives in the “Sounds like” section and read about it here.

(H⁺) introduces. . .

Here are three individuals that (H⁺) believes deserve some extra attention:

R. Van Jekich – A solo Prog-rocker with a sound that reminds (H⁺) of a cross between “Raindances” era Camel and “Presto” era Rush.

Komosa – One of (H⁺)’s favorite electronic artists. He creates interesting arrangements without having to go to extremes.

Tegan Northwood – A young woman with a beautiful voice whose songs strike a balance between lush guitar tapestry and electronic production.

(H⁺) hopes you will join him in showing them some much deserved love. When you do be sure to tell them (H⁺) sent you.
