The Whole Point of Progress...A Lesson from 'Da Vinci's Demons'



I am currently re-watching a TV show 'Da Vinci's Demons'. The show is a fictional historical account of the early years of Leonardo da Vinci while he was just a young, troublesome artist and engineer. Da Vinci approached the ruler of Florence at that time, Lorenzo di Medici, and asked for the position of Military Engineer. Lorenzo agreed and appointed da Vinci. Da Vinci's job was to create military weapons for Florence as Rome was planning to attack them in war. Da Vinci proposed a three-stepped canon which would fire in quick succession. If you are well versed in history you would know that da Vinci's dream was almost an impossibility. I mean, we are talking about the 13th century when there was little technological advancement. However, despite the cynicism of everyone around him, save for his close friends, da Vinci embarked on the journey. He was finally able to produce the canon. However, at the first testing, the canon exploded, almost killing him and the royal entourage that came with Lorenzo. This made Lorenzo angry, giving da Vinci a 3-day deadline to put it right if not, he would be hanged.

NEW MUSIC: This is Me (Mixtape) -JSwiss (yimi_x_cross)


Though I've known this guy for sometime now, I must admit his talent keeps surprising me. His first mixtape 'Music in Session' was awesome (download here) and it really proved to me how good he is. However, 'This is Me' is definitely better and I am sure he will only improve. This is his second mixtape in one year. This is a pointer to the fact that this young man is hardworking and he is out and out to hit it big. With quality mixing and mastering, you're sure to experience fine music and brilliant lyrics. Personally, my best track on the mixtape takes after the album name: This is me. Lyrically speaking, it's hard to tell which song is the best but I will go for 120 bars and as for instrumentals, I think Logan stands out. Click here to download it and spread the word. GOOD MUSIC IS IN TOWN!!!

PS: Please don't hesitate to leave your comment here about your thoughts on the mixtape. Let's talk about it.
