I did this track as a quick test of my new audio interface. Recorded the Novation Circuit OG into the Focusrite Scarlett, then added some Tera Synth acid via the iPad. Download at will.
Dreamt of being in a dark, open-plan flat. An invisible force was holding a red brush over the kitchenette sink and washing up. I couldn’t find a light switch (common theme), after frantically searching amongst the numerous switches and plugs on the wall. Two young men were there. One told me that there was no point trying to escape this situation, as I was already doomed/my fate had been decided. He seemed to be in control of my destiny. A JAL flight incident was involved somehow. I was wishing that this was just a bad dream but something told me otherwise. I woke up.
My photographic work was uploaded and used without permission on a few YouTube channels. I exercised my rights under copyright law to have it removed. This was not about singling out any one channel, but about protecting my own work and the rights of artists in general.
Unfortunately, my name has since been mentioned on social media in a negative light and I have received messages telling me to ‘eat shit’. It is not uncommon for rights-holders to be mischaracterised when someone’s unauthorised use of material is called out and sending messages like this does not help the cause of the person who committed the copyright theft in the first place. It just buries them in a deeper hole.
I want to be clear that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable. I have every right to protect my work, just as any artist does, and I will continue to do so.
It was never my intention to remove historic material or limit access to archival content. Any resulting channel removal was a side effect of repeated copyright infringements, not a targeted action by me against any archive.
Thanks to Distrokid’s acceptance of source files up to 1GB, I have been able to upload ten of my S.E.T.I. albums for streaming platform release, for starters. These will start being available from 15th to 19th June 2025.
