First try with Albion Iceni... I dream of an amazing world then wake up to a planet falling apart and I wonder why. Iceni will be great for dramatic climate music...

Dream- I dream of a beautiful world and wake up to a tragedy

Continuing to learn orchestrations with Spitfire's Albion/Earth eDNA series... I Overshoot....We are on the cusp of a global catastrophe and are foolishly going about our day as if everything's fine...as the world is melting; We must wake up fast and get OFF carbon...NOW....

Overshoot

Ukrainian War Update 3/26/24-3/27/24

We can change this game... We can rearrange 
It don't have to be so crazy... It's don't have to be so lame
It's all about the rules... it's all about the ways
What's now is an illusion... we're living in a haze

Populated by powerful people who set up the system to serve their needs
Don't really care or think about the rest of us,  feeling pretty good while others bleed

If we just change the rules of the game NOTHIN need be the same 
Ya see we were in the middle of the great grab 
We're in the middle and we've been had
We're in the middle of the great grab
To few have it all and we've been had

In the name of economics and bold face lies, free trade rape aid and ties that bind enslaved in a fossil fuel extraction machine losing touch with all that's human

It's all in the rules they've set up you see to keep everyone as a slave you and me cloaked in the works free market and invisible hands that bind us to their poisons on every land, cram it in our ears with iPods now phones keep us I engaged within the system, alone; unable to see Mann ipu lated we be,  feelin lost out of control adrift in history

Well it ain't so; want you to know
Don't have to be... wake up and see

Change The Rules to Save our World!

Visions of the future nowadays are bad/spiraling dystopian, losing all we had
watching all the movies and futures on TV... bringing them to life and what they say will be...
while the Sun shines above beckoning attention...It made the fossil fuels and now offers a new direction
We now have the tools to begin shifting the way towards magical tomorrows better than today....
Oh, the rays of hope are falling all around us
Rays of Hope...the gift that keeps on giving
Rays of Hope to make the future run
Rays of Hope Enough for everyone
connecting with the engines that enables life to grow
cutting out the deadly carbon toxics that we know
harvesting the planetary energy that lives
the oceans, plants and winds and rays and all that nature gives
leveraging a future, harnessing the cosmic spirit
molecules of majesty can save us from a travesty
incorporating light rays falling freely right into our grasp
innovating changing how we function so we last
Oh, the rays of hope are falling all around us
Rays of Hope...the gift that keeps on giving
Rays of Hope to make the future run
Rays of hope, enough for everyone!
harnessing the natural systems smart grids cars and batteries
rooftop heating photovoltaic with some land and offshore wind machines..
The undeveloped dying oceans beckoning us all with OTEC cities brimming fishys
all we gotta do is shift the gears and realize
the vision can materialize
harmony it's majesty connections, our true destiny
the choices are so clear live in light or die in dark oil fear
the time is now, the windows open
earth is screaming the sun has spoken
the best of all humanity
are working out the kinks and every possibility
Oh, the rays of hope falling all around us
The Rays of Hope... gifts that keeps on giving
rays of hope...there's enough for everyone
The rays of hope just grasp them
or we are done...











tying it together the give and take of natural cycles 



Rays of Hope

My first song with Serum, using Plug in Guru's awesome MegaWaves...It's 12 instances of a raspy in your face instrument, which slappin' wake up music deserves... because... if the climate goes down we're Toast! There's no place to hide, no matter how rich you are.  I think they're starting to figure this out!

If The Climate Goes Down..

Short bit of an idea I'm working on... as the west coast, from California to Alaska, burns... we gotta problem, people!

Burn baby Burn idea.... the western Americas and Russia are aflame!

Vastman, focused on climate change, renewables, trajectories, pathways...and how we're gonna get out of the mess we're in... We MAKE the future so change the rules of the game.  You can also visit my Soundclick page and blog at tinyurl.com/vastman... 

I'm an "infomaniac", tracking energy and climate issues in particular, creating songs addressing these issues, seeking ways to achieve evolutionary harmony on our new planet "Eaarth".

I've always felt we were moving in questionable directions and spent the earlier part of my live fantasizing on what could be, working at GAO for 13 years focusing on alternate futures, particularly emphasizing ecological and energy issues.  I now pursue music and gardening, finding the latter provided a level of sanity in an otherwise messed up world. Always writing about where we are and future possibilities, with the goal of changing things...

Listen up, People! As...
we make the future...
