My friend told me about an awful noise she puts up with at work. I asked her to record it so I could make something out of it. This is the result.

At Rae's Work

After the weight of 2010's massive 32 track 2 hour remix effort of Build It Up, Break It Down and several related music videos, reprieve is offered in the form of a 1-track release—10 Minute Break. Thanks to Bryan Alka for advice.

10 Minute Break

This was used as a clever ploy for getting attention at a Laptop Battle in Philadelphia. It worked. Maybe you can annoy your coworkers with it.

You know. 

The five warmest years have all occurred since 2015 with 9 of the 10 warmest years occurring since 2005. 

The last time CO2 concentrations were this high was 2.5-5 million years ago when global temperatures were 2-3°C higher and sea level was at least 25 meters higher. 

The icecaps and glaciers are melting. 

Megafires engulf large expanses claiming many lives human and nonhuman. 

Floods are deadlier and more frequent. 

Arid areas are getting drier. 

70 billion land animals and over a trillion sea animals are killed every year for food. 

Voters are manipulated by powerful financial interests into supporting policy that accelerates CO2 pollution instead of eliminating it. 

Corporate tyranny makes ever-increasing gains against democratic power. 

Post-truth confusion divides and delays action. 

There are less than 10 years left to radically alter the fossil-fuel based economy otherwise we promise suffering and...  more

Setting out under "The Landscape of New Jersey In Beats and Keyboards", supporting work has sprawled over the years beyond music to music video, photography, road journeys, exploration, live sets, signage, ambience surveys, field recording, and hiding old music across the state for possible future discovery. 

Whatever this work is about, it aptly scores a broken down land of plenty at the dead end of spectacle-ridden capitalism invisibly choking the life out of all that's good, like a winter that won't end unless it takes us with it.
