I have removed most of my music from Spotify. As a means of maintaining a presence there, for now, I have left enough music to keep my This is The Light Dreams playlist. Anything new, and the rest of my back catalogue can be found on Bandcamp, Apple Music, Tidal and Deezer.

I really like this story. One of my earliest memories of the show, too.

I removed almost everything from Soundcloud earlier this year. It's disappointing not to have the distributor on your side with this kind of thing - and it's obvious happening a lot, they simply assume it's the artist trying to up their streams (which I don't doubt happens).

New blog post: yes, I'm still ranting about this.

A trick of the light?

Unfortunately, my 2023 album, Tricks of the Light has been removed from all streaming platforms by my distributor RouteNote, after one of the album’s songs was the victim of artificial stream…

From the Leon Tapes to the album itself, and the tour that followed, this is Bowie at his boldest. A true labour of love for fellow obsessives of 1.Outside.

Stay tuned for more…

It certainly lives up to expectations visually, but the extremes in difficulty level overstep the line between enjoyable challenge and frustration. I'm hoping I can find the patience to persist...

Excellent print quality and a really lovely smooth stock. I think you'll be delighted when you see them in miniature!

My painting exhibition, 'Brave New Worlds: A Century of Science Fiction Cinema', opens tomorrow. Here's the final poster - perhaps the film that started it all, a warning of the dangers of AI. This is painted on gold-fleck paint, so it glimmers metallically as you view it from different angles. 🤖

Cover reveal! Here's my illustration and design for Body and Soul, the new science fiction novel from Andrew Hook. Coming in October from @elsewhen.press

We are delighted to reveal the cover of Andrew Hook's new Science Fiction novel Body and Soul, which will be publiched on 10 October. Cover artwork and design by Alex Storer.
elsewhen.press/index.php/ca...

Cover image of Body and Soul by Andrew Hook, artwork and cover design by Alex Storer. Two small silhouetted figures (one male and the other female) are in the foreground standing on grass at the edge of what is obviously the ruins of a city. Most of the buildings are in ruins and the walls are covered in greenery. Water is running through the middle of the image (from front to back) as if a river has invaded the city streets. The sky is orange with a few dark clouds, but there is a bright light in the sky which is clearly the sun emerging from behind one of the clouds. To the right the words BODY AND SOUL are written up the side of the image, as is ANDREW HOOK.
