Artist Spotlight: Meet The Mess:Age
Can you tell us about the inspiration behind "MR W.H.O" and the story it tells?
Absolutely, ha that’s easy , in a nutshell it was COVID inspired, as covid 19 was used as an excuse to place into the whole of mankind the mark of the beast via software, and bring forth their W.H.O treaty that will place the whole of humanity in chains of dogma, unable to travel, bringing forth digital I.D, forced vaccination, along with a cashless society and so called 15 minute cities.
The song track basically asks bluntly “who the hell are you? who do you think you are that you can play God? as the coward Lucifer hides behind the skirts of subservient womb-men pulling their suspender strings” to do their DEMONIC dirty works of MASS DECEPTION, by placing them into big corporations. “MED-DIA” and positions of power.
[ as depicted in the Garden of Eden it was easy for “the coward serpent” to entice Eve into goading Adam “The Adamic Race” to eat from the “sacred tree of knowledge” ]. “WOW suck on that. “MR W.H.O” - EVER YOU ARE.? ha ha ha.
Can you talk about the recording and production process for "MR W.H.O?"
The song track came quite quickly, just poured forth out of me so easily, “as though I was possessed by the HOLY SPIRIT” HA HA HA to bring forth a commercial hooky vibe that the whole world can relate to. “HOPEFULLY”.
I’m very lucky in a way as I’m able to work completely Alone in my home studio when laying down song tracks, unless there’s the odd super fast guitar solo that’s needed “as I’m not much of a lead guitar player” I play mainly rhythm guitar, keyboards, drums, and do all the backing vocals myself.[ the girls voices you hear within the song track “I must confess” are actually me. ha ha ]
But also behind my pop/rock styled main vocal, I wanted “A GOSPEL TYPE FEEL AND VIBE” therefore all the BV’S on this particular occasion I did myself, in the same way as ALL Mess:Age Albums are created in keeping the same chemistry as they are written produced performed engineered arranged and recorded by myself. I use live instruments as well as Logic combined.
[ the last process was run through Trax software by my good friend Amand “known as The Professor on the UK TV series Classic Cars who also has his own studio in London, he then posted it back to me for my approval, and I then tweaked it here n there for some polish and spun off the final cut.
How do you feel this song represents your artistic identity?
I would say that MR.W.H.O is only one of many of the Mess:Age singles to be released from ‘AGE OF MESS’ that unravel a complexity within me that’s bursting to be unleashed upon the world, for as they say “words are more powerful than knives”
And dare I say it, a classic….THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. lol. Ziggy X
Are there any specific themes or topics that often find their way into your songs?
We are now moving into the age of Aquarius ” a golden age “ moving away from the chaos and madness at the end times that’s revealing itself “a revelation “that will eventually separate us and split the whole of humanity in two, as depicted in my forthcoming song track SMILE “ THE WHEAT FROM THE TARES “ that will be released upon my 3rd and forthcoming Album entitled “SPEED OF LIGHT” later in the new year.
However, upon my second Latest Album ‘AGE OF MESS’ every single track has its own unique Mess:Age , messages of prophecy, revelation, unity consciousness, spirituality, truth, hope, love, faith, dark n light, war, evil, demonic bloodlines, fallen angels Chem trails, technology used as weapons against humanity. 5G frequency, the mark of the beast, D.N.A modification, the rise of Christianity through Christian consciousness, for out of all the madness blossoms at the end … only LOVE. [ I.E it has to get worse to get better ]
Can you share a memorable experience from a collaboration that enriched your music?
Wow…there are sooo many? well I’d have to say for sure when working together on different music projects with the late genius and most precious friend Colin Thurston record producer of Duran Duran, David Bowie, Iggy pop, talk talk, Human league and so many more, as he was my mentor, he was an absolute gentleman and a genius producer/Engineer and I miss him dearly.
He once stated in front of friends and family “Glen never ever give in, you are one of the greatest songwriters upon the planet” WOW “Now thats a lot to live up to as I couldn’t get my head through the door after that one ha ha ha.
P.S Before Colin sadly passed away back in Jan 2007 he actually offered me all his gold and platinum discs that he never ever displayed upon the wall of his flat in highgate as they were all “VERY HUMBLY “locked away in his garage gathering dust, and after he offered them to me, I only shook my head, as tears rolled down my face, and I replied “I cannot possibly accept these Colin, and in an upset melancholy voice he asked “OH Why” and I then replied, because you as a man “in music” are everything that I want to become.[I never ever took any of Colin’s Gold and Platinum discs, as I hope to this day, Hala his wife and his own children will cherish them greatly for all his vast and massive achievements during the 80s regarding recording history.
There are many more famous stories to tell about my musical journey, but not enough pages here for me to be able to fill you all in Kat, ...but I hope this is ok and plenty to play with.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL…..FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY SACRED HEART.
