Alex Arndt & The Sonic Universe
"Alex Arndt and The Sonic Universe" debut album "Sonic Paradigm" officially came out in August 2010. The forming band is gearing up for a CD release party in September 2010. Any industry persons may contact our management at booking@alexarndt.com to be shipped a hard copy album. We just received a shipment of boxes of CD's of the new album and we'd like to get it to you first if you are interested. Or you can purchase the CD from most online retailers already.
Alex has been writing these songs with a prolific songwriter, Kay Glynn and recording with an award-winning producer, Kevin Fisher, who's also written for Rascal Flatts, Sara Evans, and Uncle Kracker to name a few... Keith Lawrence, a Los Angeles musician has also played a role in helping to re-orchestrate a few songs. Inspiration for a couple of the songs has come from a world peace and vegetarian activist, Punya.
"My Innocence Begins Today" is a song with a dynamic music video (produced by Infinite Spectrum Productions of Phoenix, AZ), which will be released with the "Compassion for Animals E.P." in October 2010. Arndt has performed this song at many Animal Rights conferences such as Animal Rights (AR Conference), the DC Climate Change Conference, and at the past two years of Planet Fest (Vegan Earth Day).
Alex Arndt and The Sonic Universe presents ElectroRock that reveals both compassion and energy, distinctiveness and accessibility. His songs show the heart of a thoughtful songwriter that doesn't self-censor and who believes in emotional honesty. The music is full of melody and hooks, tempered with intelligence and unique creativity. This music shows how songs can be both pop-friendly yet imbued with artistic integrity.
Every Emotion Possible
"Music is everything to me," says Arndt. And why shouldn't it be? It's the ultimate musical expression and somebody with the pure musical talent of Arndt should feel an intimate kinship with music. Indeed, his very personal relationship with song comes across in his music, drawing in the listener and making him a part of the rainbow of emotional experiences summed up in Arndt's songwriting. "Music lets me feel every emotion possible." It's a universal experience focused into bursts of human creativity and conjured in moments of time and space. "Since music is made from vibrations of everything in the universe, everyone can understand it on some level. Music is passion flowing through my veins."
