ALICE 24
backstory

in 1994 (pre internet), I was hired to compose music
for a CD ROM for Alice in Wonderland
by a production company in the Netherlands
co-ordinated through a GTA producer

Toronto advertising media wunderkind 
David Buder brought me on to do the soundtrack
having just released my 3rd album
night parachuting

I had some experience doing kid's music
for my wife then, Jody Terio
who had a children's theatre company
called Little Red Theatre
and a home studio now in north Parkdale to create it
setting up to finish Alice that summer
surrounded by gear
and storyboards

30 years later, pulling it out
dusting it off - tossing in some vintage Disney
some AI, a new remix here and shazam

it's unfortunate that CD ROMS
(entertainment/gaming/information)
never took off and the project
fizzled upon release as the format
quickly disappeared from the market

computer programs continued to sell
on discs until around 2003
before the CD ROM became extinct

that said, it was a whole lot of fun
doing it

there definitely IS something to be said 
for having long periods of time to think
about whatever you want
to think about

and solitude is all about
appreciating just that,
the uninterrupted
service

that said?
loneliness is a curse

ok a cheap marketing trick that's not true 

















Fascism is a far-right, 
authoritarian, ultranationalist 
political ideology and movement, characterized 
by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, 
militarism, and forcible suppression of opposition.

MOISTURE 23






to have faith is to trust yourself to the water 
when you swim you don't grab hold of the water 
because if you do you will sink and drown 
instead you relax and float
