I’m Andrew Stone, creator of ANIMA.
I consider myself beyond the age old
group or band thought process or invention.
I am something new, as you can tell,
I've been thinking a lot and decided that
I am just an artist. But even labeling
that would cause for some pigeonhole or
trap, I'm sure to tell you, that I am not…
When you associate the word band to
something, it makes it sounds a way
that I am not….really, I've studied and
pondered many years what I am exactly,
and really there's no answer, the most
profound mysteries in life, never to be
completely understood.
My dear ol' friend Socrates said
something about naming things,
and he said there's no need basically...
the reason I am something, is because
my ideas of music and wisdom, which
would not fair well with the public,
them being what they are and how they think.
And I believe to keep some things from
the public because right now,
I'm receiving a lot of hate mail and my
ideas and philosophies of a music Revolution
and life are not fairing well with this world,
so about my age and all that remember this:
ANIMA is about music; NOT images of the band,
like so many failed bands and so called artists.
Because ANIMA is about music, music is the
utmost value of concern. Now, remember,
being about the music, for the music and music
for all, is quite different than saying ANIMA
doesn't care what you think about what ANIMA
is in regards to such things as what I look like,
how old I am, what I'm wearing, or something
about my images, and ANIMA is aware that
there are a lot of images ANIMA promotes,
but that is not in regard to the people involved in
ANIMA, which is only me, it is in regards of
meaning and music, which it should be.
Why on earth would there be another involved in
ANIMA? Its sounds are so unique that even
when Hendrix found himself in a box, ANIMA
believes there is no box. When Poe said he
wanted to write as mysterious as a cat, I
wanted to be more mysterious. When Emily
Dickinson said that beauty isn't caused, it just is,
then ANIMA feels like that is the essence of what
ANIMA is, ANIMA just being ANIMA, just being me.
And dear John Lennon said, I am the Walrus,
he said it was Paul, then later said it was him,
that very reflection of confusion...well...is ANIMA...
When Van Gogh expressed his art,
he was exactly with the same brilliant
insanity that ANIMA is. When Gandhi
said the whole world will go blind, an eye
for an eye; ANIMA's mission is to try to
open everyone's eyes through Love, Truth,
Peace, and Music. The trefoil is ANIMA's logo.
ANIMA is crying out everyday on this site
and many others, that,
WE NEED A MUSIC REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANIMA IS denied by almost everyone
in the mainstream music industry world.
The true believer, what I like
to call ANIMA fans, or POW's,
which stands for Power Of the
World, has numerously proclaimed
this REVOLUTION and renounces
the claims of music and the state
of what music is Today. I believe
the state of music today is a
telltale sign of what's going on in
the world especially in the
populated areas, the major
cities of the World. ANIMA
needs your support. A "band"
is not a band unless it has it's
fans and followers. My fans
know ANIMA is about the music
and make ANIMA thrive, to
which I am infinitely grateful.
I need your support, ANIMA,
the soul force of life needs
your support, this world is
dying really fast in peace
and love and music, and I
believe that it is heading
in the End Days.
Without you ANIMA
isn't possible. Just
a man with a
guitar and voice.
With your support,
especially in believing
in ANIMA's mission
by spreading the
word to the world,
the Revolution can
and WILL happen.
I promise music
unheard of, music
unlike anything you've
heard, music beyond
words to describe, and
I ask in return is for
you to believe in ANIMA
and support ANIMA the
best way you can.
If you would like to
support ANIMA more,
message me.
And it is the thought
that counts, so just
listening is really great
because if you are a fan,
you must be doing
something right, from
all the bad art in music
out these days, and you
liking ANIMA, I feel you
are of the many I've
actually heard that is
hungry, thirsty for
something new,
something different,
and all ANIMA fans
can agree it's something
new and different
all right. :)
They would never give ANIMA an award
cause ANIMA's music is too avant-garde,
NEW, and is really so different that
because most people don't know how
to write music beyond from what they
hear on the TV and radio, they've
been sequentially brainwashed and is one
of the main reasons for why the mainstream's
music is so horrible. EVERYBODY with a mind
fucking knows it, screams out for change, the
crap they play on the radio is really the epitome
of the mindlessness of the mindset of American
culture, world culture, and it is declining and
unfortunately getting worse...
we so need a Music Revolution...
people are crying out!
I get a lot of people asking me,
just who is ANIMA or the people behind the music?...
I'll save that for VH1 Behind the Music...ha!...
the band thing is played out, I am calling it something new,
I am calling it Space Music...Period.
'Twas Andrew Stone's mission to write music
beyond the music, beyond it's boundaries,
and I'm succeeding, something Jimmy Page
would be proud of; God Bless His Soul...I, ANIMA,
art the one and only mastermind behind the veil
of music you hear...
I am trying to stay away from these types of opening
up the doors to people's minds to "who's behind ANIMA?"--
for a very good reason...however...
I get many, many, comments, saying just "who are you?"...
and oh, I think back to the great Socrates, not a person
they've ever studied or know much about...and I think
about what he's said, taught and the truths that he
manifested from his beyond inconceivable genius
mind and Soul. And, I think of all the implication to
what I'm saying...
and I think about Emily Dickinson,
a Women that very few know about,
the greatest Women that ever lived!!!...
O, she pitied and shamefully, reluctantly rebukes
the way most women today act, especially in American Culture,
this Occidental Culture...just go to your average club,
bar, even a library!
O, and I think of the great Kurt Cobain, how He didn't want
the Fame, but by God, he Loved it too much, He was too
sensitive like me...,...and I tearfully cry almost every damn
day about that man that once lived, that once began
something long, long ago...something forgotten today...
Oh, and I can't forget the perilous Christ, who died for
your filthy porn slut shit faced, curSED vermin of a society
I live in...to speak to thee with veracity and verisimilitude...
...and I remember to Tell the Truth...
Like the Great Kant said, to speak it absolutely always,
no matter what...his I.Q. was around 180 people, not
some idiot from Harvard Law shopping to Judges...
I remember my own perils with telling the truth,
if it would only grant me Bliss, no!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has bestowed me Dying Bliss...
This Dying Bliss is everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is dying fast, started in the 80's...and
I blame no one, I don't even blame God,
I don't ever even wonder why...or why this dying
of Elysium has come about???!
But the Nexus, the Connection of people--is lost!!!
An honest person can't even walk down your average
American street with Distrust and Treacherous Debauchery
welling up in people's COLD eyes, most are numb to it all,
they are victims, I pray for them, walking dead like the City
of the Dead. All the whilst, unknowingly they set the stage
for the End Days, for the End Times...God knows...they
think it's all a game...
You can't even be honest with most people;
you can't even Tell the Truth, for afraid that the
bloody liars will condemn you with their "I am Dead"
syndrome...a syndrome I coin as the essence and faculty
of the death cult and darkness in society at large--the negativity--
the HATE--the LIES--the everything that they love, yea--
you know who you are...
...you love to hate; hate to love...
But like Beck said in a song, "Pay No Mind,"
a good artist of the 90's, that sold out like all the
great bands, like GreenDay, Metallica, you name it...
if you don't think it's true and don't know why they sold out,
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...but at least In Utero was more angst than Bleach, less sold out...
you know?...you have no idea why he died, Kurt knew...He knew
what was in store for him...having music cleanse his rotting pit of
a nauseous stomach...to scream out against the very thing that killed him--
the music industry!!!!
:::silence for Kurt, R.I.P.:::
...,...The thing you must know beyond all that who
Andrew Stone or ANIMA is, all that transcends all your questions,
all your thoughts, all your everything is this...
remember it's about the Music...
...always and Forevermore...
it's about the Music Revolution!!!
Remember...
reme!...,...
