About Open Eye Universe

Open Eye Universe was formed with members of the David Bowie community at www.davidbowie.com in the Members Gallery. Members joined together and started composing music via Mp3 trading until so many works had been developed that the band existed with its own type of energy. Richard White in Scotland from the band Inflatable Dice and so many other people including the many music and art features we got at David Bowie's site.
David's community is a great barometer of the music business and creative people and allowed us to test many approaches to song composition.
One of our contributors passed away shortly after we released the first album compiled from all of the sharing.The Bowie Community honoured him at the time. We honour him with the ongoing music we have created.
There is an incredible feeling that arrived from this type of collaboration. No big bells and whistles, no big marketinmg scheme or large label to direct things. The energy to create this music came from the hearts of men and women who shared feelings and thoughts and contributed their own little spice to the mix. Later the band Open Eye Universe was created so as to compliment not only the cosmic realm that this music lives in but because we didn't personally know each other or perhaps had never touch hands we touched minds and hearts and connected in a creative fashion. Artisitic sharing, isn;t that what it's all about anyway. Open eye universe relates to our third eye, or all seeing eye that we all have, that sixth sense of vision. The vision of the Heart as large as the universe itself. That's how we arrived at the name. It grew out of its own methodology and it's own love and affection for one another the creation of original music. It was for that reason one of the songs we created started a mash up craze.Titled " Song for David Bowie it includes many or as many song titles from Bowie all connected together in sentences to make musical sense and honour the incredible man we dearly love so much. David Bowie's music and Art has had such a profound influence on the entire music world and art world. We didn't try to follow David , exactly the opposite. If you read the threads at Bowie's site he'll constantly be noted as directing other creative people to set themselves free and be themselves. Never follow as he did. Sure you have your fav's but it should only influence you to your own end not someone elses. We bought in to that and released an album titled a Metaphysical dedication to David Bowie. In others words here's a hash of how we were affected by your music done musically. That's really way out there. We figured it related to that first smash hit" Space Oddity " as though major tom had such a stronghold on us that we created songs from the inspiration of songs. That'll take a few generations to make full sense for sure or to be understood but it is what it is.
Open eye universe has only the direction of that next song hence you find us making dance music, rock alternative, country, wanker music and more. Expect anything from us anywhere anytime. Count on us being for love though and not hate. The only thing we hate is not being able to make music.
During the day we are milkmen,cooks,sculptors, sailors and by night we come alive as creatures of the night. We must thank Toney Springer of Wild T and the Spirit, one of David Bowie's guitar players, for the inspiration on " Natural Burning Light ". Toney has become a good source of inspiration and was on one of David Hart's radio shows to profile Springers amazing guitar playing. A guy who grew up in Trinidad and only had one guitar lesson in his life on a guitar that had the action so high Toney says you could easily limbo under the strings.
Open Eye Universe has now released 16 albums. We remind you that these are Mp3 trades and pretty raw at times but consider the works for what they are and they really make sense to you.
We have applied most of the music to charity causes and love to spread the love so to speak. That same kind of goood and positive energy that you'll discover at Bowie dot come. IIt was time to set ourselves free and so after given thhe nickname Buddhaboy by his musical peers David Hart set the ship to sail. Steady as she goes me mates.
We love you sailor! Thanks Mate!
