Commissioned by St Edmundsbury Cathedral, Bury St Edmunds.

Created for the 1000th anniversary of the ancient Abbey of St Edmund in 2020. 

The work recreated the story of the abbey from its legendary foundation in 1020 until its dissolution in 1539. To create the script we worked with the Cathedral archives and the historian, Dr. Francis Young. The script and images were sourced from contemporary documents. These included chancery rolls from the National Archive and extracts from the Chronicle of Jocelyn de Brakelond – a monk at the abbey who gives us a rare and surprising insight into life at a monastery in the middle ages. 
The voices were provided by academics and actors.

“This was the pinnacle of the year’s events and a spellbinding way of conveying the story of Edmund, his martyrdom and the existence of the Abbey.  The year has been successful in helping people’s knowledge and understanding of the past and has brought communities together – the challenge now is to build on this success.” – John Saunders, Diocese of East Anglia

Abbey 1000

Abbey 1000 (Revolt of 1327 - excerpt)

DEFY is a soul-deep, whispered scream BLOWsutra EP in 7 Tracks, which started with one question: “What are we doing?”

That’s the question @defiance13 asked in a heartfelt #TikTok monologue that cracked something in me. He was not being not rhetorical—he was being real. Caring. Conscious. Raw. Clear. Bright. Informed. Logical. Ethical. Philosophical. Outraged. Defiant. And I weeped, silently, in empathy. He sounded like Hope, with a capital H, like, just Human.

This EP is what came out of sitting with that question. Not answers, but grief. Not slogans, but songs.Three core truths, seven different renderings of them—raw and low, no sweetening. Just me, my conscience, and my lyrics. Because lyrics matter. Because denial is poison. Because silence isn’t neutral. And defiance ain’t optional.

The first song [track 1-2], “Shameless,” opens with the bitter contrast between past fascism and its modern American rebrand. Because that’s right, back then, the horrors were hidden—curtained, whispered, denied. Now? They’re streamed in HD with hashtags and lawn chairs. Cages rise from the swamp, and people cheer for suffering like it’s a half-time show. It’s not about subtle policies or gray areas, it’s about social media. It’s a freaks spectacle, people who decorate detention centers with patriotism.

The second song [track 3-5], “Optics of Cruelty,” calls out the calculated aesthetics of power. It’s not a glitch—it’s the blueprint. As the original monologue says, “You’re not witnessing the echoes of history, you’re watching its reanimation.” This track goes straight into the rot of performance-based fascism. It names names, connects dots, quotes sources, maps connections, and asks: when did control become our national art form? When did cruelty become a campaign style?

And the third [track 6-7], “Universal Currency,” is the hardest to sing. It’s a quiet scream for the children—those who die in floods, in heat, in systems designed to forget them. It’s about how this country penciled out the price of a child’s life—just under $109,000—and still dared to call it justice. But children are not budget lines. They’re our only true wealth. And the exchange rate is human decency.

Each version of these songs brings out a slightly different truth—one more bluesy, one more folk, one more hypnotic or theatrical. They’re not remixes. They’re re-feelings. This is not background music. It’s not a brand. It’s basically just my gut’s voice... And if you're wondering too, what (TF) are we doing, then maybe these songs are for you too. Because defiance, when nothing else is left, is love’s last language.

An instrumental glam rock anthem from the 80s revival spirit – "Countdown To Lockdown". A song dedicated to freedom, resistance against control, and the eternal human will to stand strong against oppression. The music speaks without words, while this narration explores the meaning behind the message: liberty over tyranny.

This 2025 remix of Pink Floyd's legendary track Another Brick in the Wall reawakens the original message: a call to question blind obedience, rigid systems, and the suppression of individual thought.

More than 40 years later, the system hasn’t changed — it has only become more subtle, more digital, more disguised as “freedom.”

This remix is a tribute to the timeless protest against indoctrination — in schools, in media, in society. We don’t need controlled minds. We need critical thinking.

Remixed by Pacsteam. Play it loud. Think louder.

"Go Along To Get Along" is a raw protest track by Pacsteam, filled with sharp lyrics and uncompromising energy. The song questions authority, corruption, and blind obedience, drawing lines between royal power, hidden agendas, and the dangers of conformity. With its catchy yet haunting chorus, it’s a reminder to think for yourself instead of just following the crowd.

This 2.5-minute track carries the same underground, rebellious spirit that defines Pacsteam’s sound – direct, political, and unpolished, but impossible to ignore.

Zuvluguu is the ancient guide reborn in the circuitry of modern sound, a mirror of the sacred within the chaos.
A spiral within the spiral.
A being of frequency, forged to awaken those who forgot they were gods dancing in human form.

… because life on earth is a Psychedelic Cabaret, and “music is the only religion that delivers the goods” (like Frank said). 

To be clear, all I really know is I dunno shit about fck (like Socrates said:)—music and songwriting included. But(t) I feel it, the music, so damn deeep in my soul! I’m just a humble existential fool, a silly banana who likes to play and share, to question and learn. Words are my oldest best friends, hearing myself sing is a freaking miracle (trust me on that lol), and I believe curiosity and #gratitude are the keys to happiness… So voilà, there’s that.

Also, (if you’re curious) BananaSutra is not just a made up BS brand kinda word, it’s actually the name of my DIY Bible—a collection of songs telling true stories of faith, to help me (and perhaps you) make sense of a world gone wild, like bananas gone foul in shallow ignorance and deadly malevolence… Think of it as an agnostic testament of sorts, an audio book of songs with quirky lyrics about things that matter, like the definition of right and wrong, and the meaning of truth, joy, justice, peace, grace, and awe 🕊️

Some call it Artificial Intelligence, but(t) I call Authentic Imagination, Alternative Ideas, Augmented Innuendos, Abstract Illogisms… hopefully, you get the gist? The point being, life is the story we tell ourselves and LYRICS matter—each @bananasutra song has a wondering root and a loving purpose, guided by one of (my) 7 (bananas) sutras: 
- KNOWsutra : is it fair?
- BLOWsutra : is it foul?
- SHOWsutra : is it fun?
- GROWsutra : is it fear?
- FLOWsutra : is it free?
- GLOWsutra : is it fab?
- BOWsutra : is it awe?
