Attempt­ed Self pio­neered music gen­res: “Rock Noir”, “Exper­i­men­tal Rock Noir”
Back in 1989 I came up with “Rock Noir” and “Exper­i­men­tal Rock Noir” as pos­si­ble music gen­res, because I could­n’t real­ly find a genre which described my weird lit­tle sound. So, I tried to pio­neer these 2 music gen­res because it seemed to describe the whole of my sound bet­ter than the pre-exit­ing music gen­res ↓BELOW↓.

Pre-exist­ing music gen­res: Dark­wave, Exper­i­men­tal, Rock

IMPORTANT — Sound Qual­i­ty Notes:
The sound qual­i­ty of these record­ings is actu­al­ly pret­ty poor by today’s stan­dards as they are the raw record­ings extract­ed from my old prac­tice ses­sions between 1984–1998 via cas­sette tape. These record­ings are best to have as, not only col­lec­tors items, but also to have as answers to ques­tions which will arise as you take this jour­ney with me. The best lis­ten­ing expe­ri­ence may be had by lis­ten­ing to the 3rd(B.U.R.A. EC‑3:7), 2nd(B.U.R.A. EC‑2:7), and then the 1st(B.U.R.A. EC‑1:7) albums as the sound qual­i­ty will be at its’ poor­est when lis­ten­ing to the 1st(B.U.R.A. EC‑1:7) album. It is VERY notieca­ble on the 1ST(B.U.R.A. EC‑1:7) album. How­ev­er, the music, ideas, and con­cepts are there just wait­ing for you to think and lis­ten beyond…

IMPORTANT — Please do not make copies:
After you have won this raf­fle and down­loaded these files, I would great­ly appre­ci­at­ed it if you did NOT upload my music, images, etc to the Inter­net in any way — or even make copies to give to oth­er peo­ple “while I am alive”. The rea­son for this is that I need what is gen­er­at­ed from these raf­fles in order to keep me and my lit­tle world going. If every­one has my music already “while I’m still on this plan­et”, it is very like­ly that no one will feel the need to help sup­port this project. Your sup­port means a lot to me in this way. 

WHO RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM THIS GIFT DONATION DRIVE:
Please remem­ber. You are not sim­ply “buy­ing” tick­ets in hopes of win­ning one of these items, you are donat­ing to help 1. Tan­genT D.‘Noir con­tin­ue to cre­ate out­stand­ing music and 2. TheXFactory.com :: Cre­ative Net­work’s con­tin­ue to work on more of these projects, build/maintain/add more resources to this this website.

WHAT OUR RAFFLES ARE ACTUALLY ABOUT:
Cre­ative types sim­ply can not affort to do what we do if peo­ple will not rea­son­ably pay liv­ing wages for our music, art­work, code, craft­work, and cre­ative tal­ents. It’s impos­si­ble to com­pete with cor­po­ra­tions which con­stant­ly com­pete and under-cut us. Pay­ing $0.00xxx for a song stream will nev­er be able to pay for hun­dreds of dol­lars in time, gear, paint, sup­plies, elec­tric­ty, hous­ing, and some of us have chil­dren with extend­ed fam­i­lies to sup­port. This is a major rea­son behind Raf­fle Gift Dona­tion Dri­ves at TheXFactory.com.

The Covid-19 Virus out­break of 2020 brought not only the music indus­try but many oth­er cre­ative indus­tries and small busi­ness­es to their knees. So, TheXFactory.com added raf­fles so that cre­atives can get clos­er to get­ting paid a liv­ing wage for the actu­al prod­ucts that they cre­ate. TheXFactory.com is run by a cre­ative who sup­ports oth­er cre­atives. We not only split every­thing we get from our raf­fles 50%/50% or 33%/33%/33% with the peo­ple we work on projects with, we also donate at least 5% of your dona­tions with a char­i­ta­ble cause. All with­out charg­ing raf­fle win­ners in the Unit­ed States ship­ping fees. All you have to do is buy a tick­et and you have a pret­ty good chance to win — all while sup­port­ing our web­site and the cre­ative peo­ple we worked with to offer this awe­some­ly unique prize.

Our Gift Dona­tion Raf­fles are designed so that every­one has a rea­son­able chance to win;

1. You don’t pay for ship­ping if you live in The Unit­ed States(US). Only the $5.88 for the raf­fle ticket.
2. The num­ber of peo­ple per raf­fle is always under 100 and usu­al­ly around 40.
3. If you don’t win this raf­fle, you can always play the next one.
4. If you are feel­ing gen­er­ous and would like to pur­chase ALL of the tick­ets in a sin­gle raffle(in this case x 40 = $235.20), we will declair you the win­ner of a raf­fle then send you the prize. That might be lot to pay for a sin­gle item. How­ev­er, nev­er too much to help the peo­ple who put their time, ener­gy, and cre­ativ­i­ty in to mak­ing it.

I have been labeled a Creative; and, my name is TangenT.

I’ve been hearing music since before I knew that it was called music. It took me a long time to understand that I was a “musician”. It all seemed to be a very natural process. As if driven by instinct, it has always seemed to be a normal act of purging my sole. Almost as if it were a cry out for solutions to dilemmas at present.

My work is frank and based in truth. I write the truth about all of the world’s crap and beauty; and, I believe the best way to do this is through sound. People believe in what they see whether they like it or not; but, people understand what they hear only if they choose. I tend to act upon what I believe and hear because belief has more to do with audible words, feelings, concepts, and ideas than what I see does. I believe that this process helps to stall and derail the process of contributing to the consensus of any current corrupt social construct.

I have always been driven by writing about the “fuzziness” in life. Basic instincts, relative truth, lies, internal conflicts between the sexes, and things that motivate people’s perceptions of human reality. I believe that this is the job of any “CREATIVE”. It is our obligation to reflect and give light to the present state of consciousness. We are the gate keepers of the truth even if what we see and hear is not. If “CREATIVES” do not do this, I believe that all is lost and that our humanity and civilization will end as we know it. Without this attention to truth, the world would be plagued with non stop wars. The average soles just aren’t designed to deal with such a build-up.
