Dudley Serious

DUDLEY SERIOUS is a musician who has been making very unique music for many years. He began writing and performing standard progressive rock in a group setting, then quit at an early age. Then he started making electronic music but found that his perfectionist ways began to get in the way, since the artist never felt that any piece was completed. To remedy this, he decided to limit all work on each song to be complete with in a 24 hr. time frame. This meant; composing, recording all instruments & vocals solo, producing & mixing the tune, then shoot a video all within one day - so much for being a perfection. Not to mention making some unusual original music. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Dudley has produced over 30 albums of material that almost no one has every heard. Mr. Serious likes it that way - no interference in the creativity. But The Time Is Here ! A few small samples have snuckout of the vaults ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .THE ATTACHED TUNES : "Gapper" is from the first 2009 album & represents a back to the less commercial original feel of Dudley. "Sunshine After The Rain" is a collaboration w/ lyricist Katie Webb from the Dec. 2008 album POCKET PLAYDATE. "Awaken Vision Hope" is from December 2009 releases GIBBERISH , "Baby Sleeps Alone" is not a lullaby, but a bit more sedate than most Dud, it's from the 4th album release of 2007, TEXTURAL CIPHER. "Sometime is Later Than Now" is from the first 2008 album releases INVASION. "Canopy of Fate" is a song from the 1st album release of 07 HAPPY KNOT - which is a more experimental sounds album, harkening back to Dud's earlier work. For the past 4 years, Mr. Serious has recorded a new album each year devoted as tribute to 3 artist from different disciplines, who have infuenced his life & work {such as Brian Wilson, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alfred Hitchcock}. 2007 Album, TRICYCLE features; Phil Ochs, Director Preston Sturges & writer Robert Heinlein. "Hedy" is from the 2008 Tribute Project TRiPOD dedicated to Hedy Lamarr, musician Louis Philippe & Groucho Marx. "Lugubrious Game" - is much better w/ the video, because it is about a Sal Dali painting taken from the 2005 3Artist Tribute Album TRIDOL. "Fix Her" - is from the relationship driven 2006 FILLER ALBUM, "Stay Afloat" is from the 09 Tribute album TRiFECTA featuring Andy Pratt, Barbara Stanwyck & MC Escher. Basicly 10 very happy subject handled in a not so Serious manner ! These recordings are among, believe it or not, the more accessible material in the Dudley coffers. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------- You can Check out more SERIOUS VIDEOS at www.youtube.com/dudleyserious . . .More Tunes can be now heard at; www.myspace.com/mrserious2 ; currently featuring a revolving set of Cover Recording primarily taked from the August 08 album, COVERED UP IN TIME....
