In light of the George Floyd tragedy/injustice, I wrote this piece.  Again it's for a gigging Steel Band Trio.  Dedicated to the Black Lives Matter Movement across the world.
So many to say RIP to at the hands of those who are meant to protect us.

Let Us Live!

What lies at the edge of the Solar System? Far beyond the orbit of Neptune and the Kuiper Belt, deep into interstellar space, we find a vast, thick shell of icy space debris. We have never seen it directly, but we know it exists- because it is the source of the most distant comets that we see entering the Solar System. So why is it there? Today we'll find out.

The Oort Cloud | The Solar System's Shell

Stars come in a wide range of sizes, but how do we calculate a star's size to determine which is the biggest? In this episode of OOTW, we will find out how stars are measured to determine their mind-blowing sizes, and above all, which of them are the largest stars.

The Largest Stars | Stephenson 2-18

Earth is a success story, a thriving world that has hosted life for almost 4 billion years. But, no matter how peaceful things may be now, a new age is coming for the Solar System. An age of change, destruction and evolution. A place for new worlds and new stories, but one in which the Earth has no place.

The Final Age of the Solar System

The Solar System is our vast and diverse planetary system, which houses eight large planets, including one which gave rise to life. While humanity was born too late to witness the events that occurred at the birth of the Solar System first-hand, by peering into the systems of others stars, we are starting to piece together the events that unfolded. Today, we will explore the culmination of these decades of research, as we tell the story of the birth of the Solar System.

The Birth Of The Solar System

The Solar System is home to eight main planets, but this is far from the full picture. Hidden beyond the orbit of Neptune are dozens of small, icy worlds, known as Dwarf Planets, or Minor Planets! The best example is Pluto, but there are dozens more orbiting within the same band of material at the outer Solar System. Today, we will visit these frozen, far out worlds first hand.

Dwarf Planets | The Lesser Worlds

The Sun... both the giver of life, and destroyer of worlds. Host of the eight planets, and incubator of Earth with its light and heat. Yet in spite of its brilliance, the true nature of the sun's power remains shrouded in mystery, with scientists unable to explain many of the processes playing out in its atmosphere. But in 2024, NASA will attain their closest glimpse of the sun so far, as they come just five million miles from its surface, diving into the stellar Nether Zone, to "touch" the sun itself.

Are we living in a multiverse? If so, where are all the other universes? Scientists and philosophers have pondered these questions for centuries, as they contemplated the possibility of parallel universes. So buckle up, because in this episode, we will take on the biggest question of them all- the question of whether our universe is the only one.

Mysteries of the Multiverse - No Soundtrack

Music chose me. 4 decades of performing, composing and arranging and, of course, listening.  Steel Pans are my passion, my main instrument….my love. And no, I can’t sing (I get asked very often…for some reason). 
Sharing original content with you is daunting and the fear has been the reason I haven’t done so but … definitely time to share. 

I use an iMac with Pro tools with MBoxPro and a Zoom H6. 
I know the riddims are mechanical sounding as I use midi for that…
My boys do the images and may actually play on some.
I do hope you enjoy.

Peace✌🏾 Love💛 Pan🎶
