ACTS OF PROTEST
“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop”
- Mario Savio, 1964

I appreciate that Spotify is probably the most commonly used streaming platform globally. Consequently, the Spotify icon above will direct you to my Spotify artist page with all of my published scores for your convenience. You can also find my published works on your streaming platform of choice if Spotify is not your go-to. On that note, The Tidal icon above will take you directly to the relevant album on the Tidal platform. While they are far from perfect as a company, and my catalogue is quite fractured across their platform, Tidal have openly stated that they do not train generative A.I. models off of real people’s music - something a few of the others gleefully spruke as a perk...
I urge anyone and everyone to reject A.I. and the theft of people’s artistic and intellectual property, to reject the exploitation of musicians for fractions of cents on the dollar, and to reject corporations that profit from conflicts across the globe as well as the exploitation of public resources and people’s labour.
Support musicians and composers. Support filmmakers.
Support your community. Buy music where you can and watch movies in the cinema.
