'No Cages' is my third album, and my first in seven years. 

It features the singles 'Simple Life' and 'Incomplete'.

It is my first collection of predominantly animal rights songs and covers topics such as intensive chicken farming, toxic masculinity, humane-washing / greenwashing, and the perception of vegans by a non-vegan world. The project also covers other themes such as loss and loneliness, how technology is disconnecting us from the real world, escaping from the human race, and the beauty of the ground beneath our feet.

It has been a labour of love, taking over two years to complete, delayed by various set-backs, most noticeably damage to my vocal chords. 

The album features over 40 contributors from across the world, including Vegan Queen V, Liz Mitchell (Terrorvision), Ian Haywood, Giles Bryant, and Chaos Collective (Blur). It was recorded at Half-ton Studios in Milton by Neil Rogers, mastered by Pete Maher (U2, Pixies), and features artwork by Tom Jones.

Heads Down

Out in Space (featuring Vegan Queen V)

In this episode of the Plant Based News Podcast, we’re diving into three of the biggest conversations happening in the plant-based world right now.

First, we explore the science of fasting and how one patient reversed lymphoma through a whole food plant-based diet and stayed cancer-free for over a decade. 

Then we tackle the heated debate over protein, with Stanford professor Dr. Christopher Gardner dismantling myths about amino acids and plant protein “quality.” 

Finally, we unpack the backlash against veganism: falling sales at Beyond Meat, processed food criticism, and whether the movement has lost its health halo.

‘Mind Your Melons!’ Eye-Popping PETA Campaign in Albany Says Go Vegan to Reduce Breast Cancer Risk. In time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, PETA is serving up some food for thought in New York—a state with one of the highest breast cancer incidence rates in the U.S.—plastering buses in Albany with a reminder that one of the best things an individual can do to lower their cancer risk is to say “ta-ta” to meat, eggs, and dairy. Reilly Park of PETA talks with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

ВИНСЕНТ ВЕГАН x ПротивТолпы - UK RF (prod. ManuGTB)

Listen as I assassinate the sophistry that is Matt Walsh's mockery of the innocent. Inspired by Eminem's Killshot, this is for everyone who's tired of performative masculinity and cowardice hiding behind podcast mics.

Killthought

Anders Frimann wrote a song about being a vegan

This Is The Fuck Being Vegan Song

efbach_kurtäns was devised and processed in June 2025.
in November i dismantled it, cleaned and oiled all the machine's parts, and put it back together – differently.

an exercise on feedback and oscillators, efbach_kurtäns is probably the one piece with highest track-count of bruno lorso's whole catalogue.

...frozen-still, picture-like-static, yet tonally-shifting, with spectrum's regions morphing and asynchronous beats pulsating, there's only level curves assigned across all of them nine tracks to do the job, on efbach_kurtäns.

something else makes it indeed atypical, in bruno lorso's catalogue: there's no reverberation added, no dynamic-range doctoring, not an iota of delay... it's the real vegetable in your dish – sans dressing.

...ghost-like, suspended, not triggering any reminiscence of melody or harmony – there's a reason (and not just one alone) for efbach_kurtäns to be its own thing: summer came, scaring the berufus out of me, what with apocalyptic news from the world, and the psychic effect of summer temperatures... then went, and things weren't in any way better, except cooler.

efbach_kurtäns proves there can be a container for the tide of depression that resists the highs and lows of summer inevitability and inhabitability – made with sound, made of sound, but a safe place (in my mind) nonetheless – which serves as a shelter when the fall season events spook me nonetheless.

thank you for having read my rant 'til here, thank you for stopping by, thank you for listening to efbach_kurtäns.

originally released on June 15th, 2025.
remixed, and newly released on Nov. 14, 2025.

(it lacked the rumble in lower-end spectrum that i felt was needed when i first put it together, which (for whatever reason) hadn't made it to the mix i originally posted.)

'101 Excuses' is literally 101 excuses not to be vegan, things I get fed up of hearing all the time, and my responses to them. A lot to squeeze into one song!

The PBN podcast, from the award-winning team, covers all things health, environment and animals.

i've been pulled to, and driven by, sound, and sounds, since i can try to remember. 

and, while technically a former sound engineer (since more than three decades at that), it shows i've yet to off that switch in my head.

sound shapes my mood, my feelings, my heart rate, my life – it sure does the same to you, of course, just as it does to any other human and living being, at most diverse degrees of self-awareness, on the compass' dial of perception.

i've been playing and singing since kindergarten, like no other place on earth was an harbor, my harbor – and, not that clever a guess, sound engineering became my job, my career, and my obsession, eventually. 

until i served musicians and music in my sound engineering days, i vowed myself to silence, to start making music again only after i quitted miking and mixing – though all over from scratch now, no tracing back my steps, no memory of what i'd been studying, learning and playing, thirty or forty years before – or yesterday evening, for what matters now.

Where is the nexus between Philosophy and Psychology? Where they meet is where I live. Both tell their own story, and so only both together offer us a full vision. Come with me as we explore that through music, questions, storytelling, and conversations. Whether it's the cold hard truth, or a poison that lingers until it takes effect, either way you like it, you're going to get the picture.

Gavin's third album 'No Cages' is available now. 'Milkshake', the first release from his new musical project, is available from Soundcloud as a free download.
