LE DEUX

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."ROBERT F. KENNEDY

********** 2012 *********
"Call To Archangel Michael"- Lena's Latin-flavoured Electro tune, with symbolic Lyrics, reached No. 11 in soundclick charts.
*****************
Song clips are lofi demo, streaming for promo. Original Le Deux CD was mastered by Kevin Nettleingham (at Lena's expense). 20% of net profits were to go to an orphanage in Lithuania. Alas, some pillocks caused unnecessary sabotage.



The hate campaign some Noncers pulled was not warranted. A donation was given the orphanage by Lena, even tho no CD profits. Thanks to a few Lithuanian Groups, some generous donors came forth and helped out the children, including the U.S. Army who helped with building.
RE: Le Deux first CD (c)(p) 2002: Lena wrote/performed Vocal melody Music, most lyrics, some addtl. keyboard melodies & arranged/performed the vocals, as well as did final mixes, NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS!!!
. Le Deux CD (10 song) was published in 2002. No bogus "label" secured legal rights.
**************
Respect and encourage your fellow artistes, Your "competition" is best being with what you wrote/performed before. You don't need to ride roughshod over others, nick from, degrade, or follow nonce tactics to get "ahead". That is Not True success. nor accomplishment. "Karma" often pops up - for good & for bad.
********************
Song Clips: (for promo only)
"GENIUS" clip - This is from the first version, recorded on analogue 8 track - with Lina, Syd Zed and Kathy B (harmony vocals). It's a rough mix, but it's a bit faster than the 2nd version, which got some radio play in Europe and East Coast.
____________________
"IN MY BOOK" clip (with the mezmerizing keyboardist/producer D. Mezzer (Meredith) - A trippyhop tempo with spacey vocals. Later version has Lina's added keyboards. ________
"SUGAR" clip (with R. Deacon - formerly of Sister Machine Gun & Final Cut ) has an ambiguous slant to it, as it could be about a guy's obsession with a femme fatale or an addiction.
_________
"BELIEF"-- a clip which was up before, is from a poignant dreamy triphop song, cowritten/performed with Dave East,. who, along with his mum & Dad are survivors of Katrina.after being stranded for over 3 days. (additional keyboards by Lina)
Ironically the song "Like You" (Someone Like You) that Dave cowrote with Lina hit No. 2 in the Euro Pop Charts on soundclick the same week of the Hurricane. "Like You" hit NO. 1 in the Charts shortly thereafter!
_________
"SYNTHPOPPY" (BMI) -
This is ruff lofi clip. Vocal Melody Music & Lyrics by Lena A. and underlying music by J.R.Hopkins.
_______
As for Bullying bollox stirrers - On yer bully bikes!. There's been Wallys impersonating Le Deux and Lena to stir up Bashy propaganda, which caused her
injury. Apparent obsessive g/f s of A cowriter made Absurd False accusations against Lena to Intentionally stir up violence & hate, which led to extreme damage & unnecessary threats. This is Not accomplishments, & it vexes the spirit. It went on recently by phonies who call themselves "spiritual". Rubbish! Using Any "religion" or "belief" to destroy or entice others to Violence & pilfering nonce is below any truly higher spiritual nature.
____________
Infringement & scams happen to too many Musicians, Graphic Artists, Video & Filmmakers, Writers, Photographers, etc. due to scammers & pillagers with falst fronts. Be careful with your works. Don't sell yourself short or fall for internet Prattalk. Success is Not about nickng from or killing the "competition" or taking advantage of artists for "fame" or greed.



Quote from PETER GABRIEL:



"Internet piracy, if it continues, will eventually hurt those who love to make music. There are many people trying to provide legal access on the net at much more reasonable prices. I support the Pro-music initiative to encourage people to find out for themselves what is available legally and decide if they think it is fair value or not."




There should be Constitutional FREEDOM OF CHOICE. IF an Artiste/Writer/Filmmaker/Graphic Artist, etc, Agrees to offer works that they invested time/money/caring in for free, then it should be Their Choice. Often, that's the only actual "property" an Artist has.

ln 2007, Lena played Synth and did backup Vocals for Syd Zed *& Magdalena Live shows along with basssist/singer Johnny Wells, with some of the best original acts on East Coast of U.S., till Syd's horrific ordeal. Shockingly, we've seen that basic Human International Rights are violated more often than people will admit by those who Pretend to be Helping injured or sick people There's too little justice, or compensation, especially by pharmaceuticals. Be careful! Read up on FDA reports.

Jan 2007-- Lena & Syd Zed performed an impromptu Live bit on WPRK, along with Mykal Francis and Lue Velvet on New Year's Day.
*************
"We are the Law" (w/ D East) and "Nick the Lunatic" were given a spin on Cubby's show at WPRK on Christmas 2005. "We Are the Law" , a rather wild techno tune , went on right before "Delirium". Both got cranked up and sounded great thru the station speakers.
___________
Songs cowritten with Syd Zed, "Give Us a Break" and "Ghost" were played at a Halloween Party at WPRK, on Matt's show. He did a brief on-air interview with Lena. . DJ's Tony and Rachel were in the "trick or treat" room, enjoying Tony's veggie goodies he brought, while Yip Yip played a rather wild acoustic piano duet.
Lena sang at live gig in September on WPRK 91.5 Radio Marathon, with Syd Zed & musicians - Freddy Mullins, Johnny Wells (ex-"Fantasie" & "Fofis") and Kevlar (ex-BELLOWS).



Syd' Zed's cowritten song with Lena"Ghost" was featured on a telly show called "Laura", & their song"Made in Taiwan" was on a radio show in Taiwan! A wee bit of royalties were given then.
