"Like sitting on the side of a mountain for 45 minutes." That's how a friend described listening to my new album, "Overtones." I'd love to know what you think, too: aspotonthehill.bandcamp.com/…

“An utterly beguiling work with true beauty and soul pouring out.” That's what ambient artist and producer Ian Hawgood had to say about my last record. My new one, "Overtones," is now available for pre-order: aspotonthehill.bandcamp.com/…

Navalny is a hero. Putin is a thug. Democracy is worth fighting for. Please watch this video for a reminder of what it means to care about something larger than yourself.
I don’t say it often, but everyone should watch this video in its entirety. The use of 'brave' as an adjective has become almost disposable these days, overused to the point of meaninglessness. However, this video—filmed within 48 hours of learning that one of her greatest nightmares had become a reality—demonstrates remarkable bravery by Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of Alexei Navalny. The power and clarity of her message and the decision to put herself directly in the crosshairs of Vladimir Putin and his security services is an example of extraordinary sacrifice. Россия будет свободной!
