New Single

The Human has released a new single, "Keep it To Yourself."  It is a sparse stripped down track with a cool groove to it.  He got his friend AC Myles to lay down a cool lead guitar track that helps establish the ambiance The Human wanted.  Sometimes, when you get to groovin and catch a little buzz...it's better to "Keep It To Yourself."  That in a nutshell is what the track is all about.  It can be downloaded from all major distribution sites, although it may not yet be uploaded to all of them yet.

New You Tube



The Human just put up a new You Tube Video to go with a song he recently wrote called,
"Keep It To Yourself."  Its a sparse litty diddy done in his home studio. He played all instruments, but had his friend AC Myles come over to put down a lead guitar track. AC never disappoints with this as you will see when you listen.  The song is about getting a little relaxed at home by whatever means you feel necessary, and then making the case that often times its just better to stay home and groove to the tunes instead of going out.   Especially if you have a good analog vinyl record collection, and bad ass turn table and speakers. The Human tries to create an ambiance with the track, hopefully he was successful.  He might offer this track for sale on spotify, Itunes and other distribution sites. Stay tuned for that.


Keep it To Yourself.

He bubbles up under the radar of the mainstream artists, but has the best fans who take the time to listen the lyrics and dig the grooves.  They are special.

March Downloads, Misc

Hey Human Project Fans.

March was a good download for Human Project Music.  It is interesting that there was a pretty significant change in the top 5, with some of the old stand-by's dropping out and some different songs working their way in. What's even more interesting is 4 of the 5 were all from Human Project II, Humanized, Released in 2008.  The Human has always felt that this was one of his best CD's. It was recorded in Visalia, CA working with Dana Long.  Dana plays drums on all the tracks and some guitar as well.  This disc was sent off to Sterling Sound in NYC where is was mastered by Steve Fallone.  He worked on Keith Richard's most recent release as well as many other high profile artists.
So Human Project II, Humanized has a big time sound to it. The songs are great as well.

Here is the Link to Human Project II, Humanized. It can also be found on all sites like Spotify and ITunes.

The Top 5 For March were:

1).  Deep River                 From Human Project II, Humanized. 2008.

2).  My V8 Ford                From Human Project II, Humanized. 2008.

3).  Bad Momma               From Human Project II, Humanized. 2008.

4).  Bar Room Meltdown  From Humanize 2017.

5).  Drive, Drive, Drive    From Human Project II, Humanized. 2008.

Over 40 different Human Project Tracks were downloaded, all written by The Human.

Top Download sites were:

Itunes Match   Switerland

Apple Music   Canada

Apple Music   Japan

Spotify            USA and international as well.

Amazon Premium Services

The Human writes all his own material and helps co-produce as well. He fly's hot and heavy under the mainstream radar. Plays live very rarely. (lives in cover band town) And rely's on his fans to get the word out about his music.

Thanks friends and fans for supporting Human Project Music.

Like a former radio manager I try to present your music in my country because your

surprising for the people who had a chance to listen your music.

Please if you have some quaility video live performance please be so kind and 
send it to me, I could present you in our established music clubs for your
possible European tour someday.

Let me wish you many achievements in your musical career and much vitality
to you and to your family.I will look forward to your new music and to our personal
meeting someday.

your friend in Czech Rep.

This shows that Human Project music is reaching across the continents to all kinds of places where people love good real music.   


Appreciate all my fans world-wide.  My music has been a grassroots effort and word of mouth thing where people tell someone else about it and share it.  I appreciate those that are a part of such a cool thing.
