"Reason’s Rebellion" by Wayne Mathison is a haunting acoustic reimagining of a rap-metal clarion call, is a fierce manifesto for intellectual insurgency—a defiant stand against the fog of manipulated emotions, dogmatic noise, and engineered distractions that smother human clarity. At its molten heart, the track champions reason as the ultimate liberator, a "cold precision in flame" that arms the mind against the "twisted truth" peddled by power structures profiting from our haze: screaming headlines as bait, slogans as chains, sermons and paywalls as prisons of desire. It's Waters-meets-Rage Against the Machine, but with a psychedelic twist, urging listeners to "burn through illusion" and dismantle pain not with fists, but with the scalpel of logic.

Reason’s Rebellion

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
