Music Videos

Music videos to accompany some of said songs.

Public Awareness

Inflict the deserving with educational and entertaining guilt trips in the form of:

Music to come... eventually if life would, for once, stop throwing insurmountable blocades in the way! Hey! Here's an idea - donate the equivalent of a required income, pay off the house, something, anything that will allow me to actually finish my songs that were almost finished! For crying out loud!

Financial

Seeking financial compensation for damages caused by humans at large particularly from NeuroTypicals who don't seem to want to tolerate someone who thinks and behaves differently from themselves! Nevermind the fact that the NeuroDiverse are forced to tolerate them!

Mechanism

Tying NeuroTypical heartstrings to Xenoic Roots purse strings via thoroughly engaging and delightful music and videos drenched in the evidence of your guilt and shame! I certainly didn't inflict myself with my mental woes!

Alien At Large

Surviving his first heart attack, caused by the trauma of being an alien on this miserable planet!

Dennis "JAMac" (jay-mack) Alexander

NOT to be confused with the famous Dennis Alexander who has published tons of educational music material.

Rather, this is another, not so famous, Dennis Alexander, who is still trying to publish his own musical material. (Its not procrastination, its LIFE!... and sometimes ADD... or depression.)

Born an Autistic with ADD-I (Attention Deficit Disorder, Inattentive), (his superpowers) endowing him with extraordinary mental prowess in many areas, not limited to music, mechanics, mathematics, and more, making him a Maker Magnificent.

But having alien roots, he was thusly inflicted with prejudice and lies from a human society unable to comprehend how their "helpful words and actions" could inflict Severe Depression, Severe Anxiety and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (his true disabilities) on such an individual so extraordinary.

Alienated and no longer able to work a "regular job" as formerly, thus living in poverty. However, he did find his native music abilities discovered anew. Resulting in the sounds of Xenoic Roots!

Alter Egos

(photos missing beards due to... life!)

Mr. James A MacAlister

Steampunk Cowboy

"True Maverick Extraordinaire!"

Confident, confused and charmingly clumsy.

Dr. Marvin Batty

Scientist

"No one ever listens to me."

Serious, stumbling socially, and supremely smart.

Aty Pical

Professor

"Life is joyful and full of surprise!"

Easygoing educator on every exciting examination of everything, etc..

Michael A Smitty

Director

"You are the most amazing person I know! Seriously!"

Fearful, feckless and fake as can be fabricated.

Formula for Xenoic Roots

Trauma + Hope = Great Music
  1. Assume the mind set of Dr. Victor Frankenstein.
  2. Mix one part human DNA with environmental pollutants (IE: plastics, coal exhaust, pharmaceuticals, bad diet, etc).
  3. Stir until the sufficient groups of genes that cause Autistic and ADD development form.
  4. Bring to 'human' life... in the ordinary way.
  5. Torment the resulting life form with NeuroTypical requirements for behavior and thinking until severe Anxiety, Depression and Complex PTSD form.
  6. Heartlessly alienate from the human race.
  7. Train resulting life form in the common modalities of Modern Western Music with sprinkles of other forms of music found on planet Earth.
  8. Subject to at least 4 years of piano lessons, as well as school band (Concert & Jazz).
  9. Sit back and enjoy as the "monster" you made creates delightful music incorporated with many layers of well-deserved guilt.

Summary (Opinion)

The dominant species of Earth, known as humans, continue to lead themselves 'over the cliff' towards their own doom. Led by their arrogant love for all things chemistry, they've filled their planet with elemental compounds that exist nowhere else in the universe, with no regard to the eventual state this chosen blindness will lead them to.

They continue on pell-mell, ignorant of the fact that some of these chemicals cause genetic damage, not to just other species they share their planet with, but to themselves as well.

This skewed development results in 'disabilities' (you're all disabled, btw!) including ASD, ADD, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, Schizophrenia, and many others. These resulting humans are then classified "NeuroDiverse," vs. the "NeuroTypical."

This results in a Frankenstein (the name of the doctor, not the 'monster') scenario, wherein the victim's (their own progenie's) brains, during its developmental years, causes the functional state of its brain to develop a variant of genius/retardation different from that commonly found in NeuroTypicals. The "creator" (abuser of its own environment) then becomes afraid of its own "creation." This completely unfounded fear culminates in abuse of all forms; including name-calling, ridicule, and denial of friendships, jobs, and dates leading to a variety of mental illnesses in the afflicted.

One such NeuroDiverse victim of this human ignorance and cruelty is Dennis "JAMac" Alexander, who developed ASD and ADD-I (ADHD, Inattentive - even their "experts" come to nonsensical conclusions) as his base set of genius/retardation. And the resulting ignorant abuse from his NeuroTypical peers resulted in the development of the mental illnesses Severe Anxiety, Severe Depression, and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (among others) as a result of said abuse.

In Dennis, all of this culminated in an acute awareness of his tragic situation, along with the loss of his house, his vehicle, his retirement, his ability to work a "normal" job, and so much more! Particularly, once C-PTSD set in.

This resulted in a desire to "find answers" to all this suffering and alienation inflicted upon him, and well as in others of his NeuroDiverse community. It also turned his music genius "on," as often happens to many artists of his species.

This resulted in Dennis acquiring a desperate need to "retaliate" and seek compensation for all his damages suffered, by writing and recording wonderful, amazing music, to catch the heart strings of his criminal peers, to open their purse strings by means of his piano strings and guitar strings, while inflicting upon them the knowledge of what horrors they've done! This, accompanied by YouTube commentaries and even a TEDx Talk on the matter.
