Track 3. This one has a glitch at the 41 second mark. I was having latency problems and had to edit out a couple of noises but this glitch ‘worked’. One of my favs. open.spotify.com/track/0wIEE3mp… #music #pkd

This was the first single from Valis. I used an e-bow on the guitar to produce that wailing sound. open.spotify.com/track/2oy4I7o8… #music #PKD

Valis opens with this track which was basically me trying to sound a bit like Vangelis and his soundtrack for Blade Runner. It was the first track recorded for the album. open.spotify.com/track/1GOmEvLm… #music #pkd

The cover for Valis was shot at a Van Gogh experience in Melbourne. If you look closely the dark areas show the beams and girders of the art space, which I thought was very phildickian. #https://open.spotify.com/album/2TyTEso6DpZKCYIuF94a2J?si=E_5beRDTT4Wm1nPnR5oApw #music #PKD

@michaeljpryor suggested I record an album inspired by the writing of Philip K Dick and this is a track from it. open.spotify.com/track/0wIEE3mp…

‘Valis’ is an album of music inspired by the writing of Philip K Dick. If you like PKD you will like the album. If you don’t like his writing you may still like this music. It’s a win win situation open.spotify.com/album/2TyTEso6…

The new album has dropped. Valis - Music inspired by the writing of Philip K Dick. open.spotify.com/album/2TyTEso6…

For those wondering, the guitar is being played using an ‘e-bow’ which increases the sustain indefinitely I guess. Anyway, the new album ‘Valis - Music inspired by the writing of Philip K Dick is out on the 20th of Jan. open.spotify.com/track/124zutY7…

I just got ultra depressed by watching a video detailing how popular AI created music is becoming. No Ai here. open.spotify.com/album/5u9JC8el…

@ZelenskyyUa I still think Ukraine should cede land bordering Russia to a NATO country.

The Russians are peddling the narrative around the world that Ukraine allegedly cannot defend itself. They are saying that Ukrainian warriors cannot defend themselves. The daily combat results of the Ukrainian army, our special forces, and deep strikes – these are all proof that Ukraine can defend its interests. Now every eliminated Russian occupier, every replenishment of our exchange fund for Ukraine, every Russian assault Ukrainians have repelled, every piece of destroyed Russian equipment, every deep strike we carry out – these are all arguments showing that it’s worth standing with Ukraine, worth helping Ukraine, and that it is not Ukraine that must be pressured for peace, but Russia – the sole reason this war drags on.
