FILE NO. 333-118398
FILED AUGUST 20, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Spirgel:
In response to your comment letter under date September 23, 2004, please find
enclosed three marked copies of Sound Revolution's Amended Registration
Statement No. 1 dated November 12, 2004 on Form SB-2/A for your review.
In response to your comments, Sound Revolution makes the following responses and
has made the following changes to its amended registration statement:
GENERAL
-------
1. WE NOTE THAT THIS EXCLUSIVELY SECONDARY OFFERING IS THE INITIAL
OFFERING OF YOUR SHARES. WE ALSO NOTE THAT WHILE YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING
ANY PROCEEDS FROM THE OFFERING, THE COMPANY IS PAYING THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT EVEN THOUGH YOU APPARENTLY
ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO DO SO. WE FURTHER NOTE THAT YOUR COMMON
SHARES DO NOT TRADE ON ANY MARKET OR QUOTATION SYSTEM, YET YOU INTEND
TO PURSUE A LISTING ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD AFTER THIS REGISTRATION
IS DECLARED EFFECTIVE. BASED UPON THESE AND OTHER FACTORS, IT APPEARS
THAT THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE STATUTORY UNDERWRITERS WITHIN THE
MEANING OF THE SECURITIES ACT. PLEASE TELL US WHETHER THE SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS HAVE PURCHASED FROM THE COMPANY WITH A VIEW TO, OR ARE
ENGAGING IN THE DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPATION IN, A DISTRIBUTION OF
YOUR SHARES. IF ANY OF THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS ARE STATUTORY
UNDERWRITERS, THEN THEY MUST BE NAMED AS SUCH AND THE PROSPECTUS MUST
BE REVISED ACCORDINGLY.

YOUR RESPONSE ANALYZING WHETHER THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE
STATUTORY UNDERWRITERS SHOULD INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, THE
FOLLOWING FACTORS:
o HOW LONG THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS HAVE HELD THE SHARES;
o THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THEY RECEIVED THE SHARES;
o THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE ISSUER;
o THE AMOUNT OF SHARES INVOLVED;
o WHETHER THE SELLERS ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF UNDERWRITING
SECURITIES.
WE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BASED UPON YOUR RESPONSE.
RESPONSE:
None of the selling shareholders purchased from Sound Revolution with a
view to, or are engaging in the direct or indirect participation in a
distribution of our shares. We respectfully submit that none of the
selling shareholders are statutory underwriters, based on the following
facts:
1. The selling shareholders from our first offering, Paul
Addington and Cecelia Bravo, have held their shares for over
two years.
2. The remaining selling shareholders from the second offering
have held their shares for under one year. However, all these
shareholders purchased their shares as friends or family of
the directors of Sound Revolution, after receiving an Offering
Memorandum which described the business of Sound Revolution.
The Offering Memorandum contained the following statements,
(a) "These securities will be subject to a number of
resale restrictions, including a restriction on
trading. Until the restriction on trading expires,
you will not be able to trade the securities unless
you comply with an exemption from the prospectus and
registration requirements under securities
legislation.

(b) "No Market: There can be no assurance that an active
trading market will develop upon completion of this
Offering, or if such market develops, that it will
continue. Consequently, purchasers of the Shares
offered hereby may not find a ready market for the
underlying Shares."
3. Each of the selling shareholders signed a subscription
agreement which contained the following:
(a) "The Purchaser acknowledges receipt of an Offering
Memorandum;
(b) "No person has made to the Purchaser any written or
oral representation that the Shares will be listed
and posted for trading on a stock exchange or that
application has been made to list and post the Shares
for trading on a Stock Exchange;
(c) "The Shares are purchased hereby and are not
qualified for resale in the United States of America
and the Purchaser hereby undertakes not to knowingly
resell the underlying Shares to any resident or
citizen of the United States of America prior to
lawful registration or qualification of the
Shares...;
(d) "Hold Period. The purchaser further acknowledges
that: (a) These securities will be subject to a
number of resale restrictions, including a
restriction on trading. Until the restriction on
trading expires, you will not be able to trade the
securities unless you comply with an exemption from
the prospectus and registration requirements under
securities legislation..."
4. All of the selling shareholders purchased shares in amounts
between 1,000 and 52,000, and most of the selling shareholder
purchased 10,000 shares or less and do not have enough shares
to engage in a distribution of shares.
5. None of the selling shareholders are in the business of
selling or promoting shares and none of the selling
shareholders are in the business of underwriting securities.
6. None of the selling shareholders are under an obligation to
sell all or any portion of their shares and particular selling
shareholders may not have a present intention of selling their
shares.

7. The selling shareholders purchased in the ordinary course of
business.
8. At the time of the purchase of the securities to be resold,
none of the selling shareholders had any agreements or
understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to
distribute the securities.
9. Other than Ryan Tunnicliffe, an officer of Sound Revolution
and Susanne Milka, a director of Sound Revolution, none of the
selling shareholders are directors, officers or affiliates of
Sound Revolution.
2. PLEASE SUPPLEMENTALLY ADVISE US WHETHER ANY OF THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
ARE BROKER-DEALERS OR AFFILIATED WITH BROKER-DEALERS. FOR ALL SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS THAT ARE BROKER-DEALERS, DISCLOSE THAT THEY ARE
"UNDERWRITERS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE SECURITIES ACT. YOU SHOULD
REVISE THE PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION TO STATE THE NAMES OF THE SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE BROKER-DEALERS, AND TO STATE THAT THEY ARE ALSO
UNDERWRITERS WITH RESPECT TO THE SHARES THAT THEY ARE OFFERING FOR
SALE.
RESPONSE:
None of the selling shareholders are broker-dealers or affiliated with
broker-dealers.
3. FOR SELLING SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE AFFILIATES OF BROKER-DEALERS,
DISCLOSE, IF TRUE, THAT:
o THE SELLER PURCHASED IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS, AND
o AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES TO BE RESOLD,
THE SELLER HAD NO AGREEMENTS OR UNDERSTANDINGS, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, WITH ANY PERSON TO DISTRIBUTE THE SECURITIES.
RESPONSE:
None of the selling shareholders are affiliates of broker-dealers.
4. WE NOTE THAT YOU ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY WITH LITTLE IF NO
BUSINESS OPERATIONS, A CAPITAL DEFICIT, AND A NEGATIVE FINANCIAL
CONDITION. WE ALSO NOTE THAT YOUR OFFICER, DIRECTOR AND PRINCIPAL
SHAREHOLDER PENNY GREEN PREVIOUSLY WAS AN OFFICER, DIRECTOR, AND
PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER OF ANOTHER PUBLIC COMPANY - MEDIATELEVISION.TV.
SIMILAR TO SOUND REVOLUTION'S PROPOSED OFFERING, MEDIATELEVISION BECAME
A PUBLIC COMPANY BY MEANS OF AN EXCLUSIVELY SECONDARY INITIAL PUBLIC
OFFERING IN 2002 DESPITE HAVING LITTLE IF NO BUSINESS OPERATIONS, A
CAPITAL DEFICIT, AND A NEGATIVE FINANCIAL CONDITION. IN THE TWO YEARS
SINCE, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT MEDIATELEVISION'S BUSINESS, INVESTMENT
OR FINANCIAL CONDITION CHANGED. THEN, IN APRIL 2004, MEDIATELEVISION

ANNOUNCED A REVERSE MERGER IN WHICH MS. GREEN SOLD HER SHARES IN A
CHANGE OF CONTROL TRANSACTION TO A COMPANY WITH BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
BASED UPON FILED FORMS 8-K, IT APPEARS THAT THE SALE CLOSED ON AUGUST
1, 2004. IN LIGHT OF THESE FACTS, PLEASE CONFIRM AND EXPLAIN TO US
WHETHER SOUND REVOLUTION ACTUALLY INTENDS TO PURSUE ITS BUSINESS MODEL
OR WHETHER IT ACTUALLY IS A BLANK CHECK COMPANY FOR WHICH MS. GREEN
REASONABLY INTENDS TO SEEK A BUYER OF A COMPANY WITH A REGISTERED CLASS
OF SHARES. WE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BASED ON YOUR RESPONSE.
RESPONSE:
Sound Revolution acknowledges that it is a development stage company
and it confirms that it fully intends to pursue its business model and
is not a blank check company. For the three months ended August 31,
2004, the company's liquidity has improved, with working capital of
$43,356 as opposed to a working capital deficit.
During the past few months, we have been active in developing our
website charitytunes.com and we have completed the site plan and are in
final negotiations with a web programming company to develop the
software programming required to make the website operational for
selling music downloads. Also, we have already entered into an
agreement with Ryan Tunnicliffe, our VP, Production, to complete all of
the graphic design, overall design and wording for the site. Also, we
are in the process of negotiating obtaining digital music rights from
several artists. We are informed by Penny Green that she does not
intend to seek a purchaser of her stock in Sound Revolution in the near
future, and instead is willing to provide support to Sound Revolution
to enable it to develop its business plan and improve its financial
condition, including arranging a loan by her company Bacchus
Entertainment Ltd. for up to $70,000 U.S. dollars to provide Sound
Revolution with additional resources to conduct its business.
5. PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH COPIES OF ANY ARTWORK YOU INTEND TO USE AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE FOR OUR REVIEW AND COMMENT. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE MAY
HAVE COMMENTS ON THESE MATERIALS AND YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WAITING FOR
FURTHER COMMENTS BEFORE PRINTING AND CIRCULATING ANY ARTWORK.

dollars, a reference to Canadian dollars has been made in parentheses.

dollars unless otherwise noted."
The headings of all of our financial statements have been amended to
disclose that our financial statements are in U.S. dollars.
