🖋️ A One Man Army

Terry Godier is his name and he seems to be assuming the role of helping us all be purposeful as we seek to slow ourselves down in the the accelerating world of tech that we all live in.

6 - which will be a major change in how humans operate in large corporations - so not holding my breath

Another one of those cross genre mind blowing tracks that just had me hooked - and never let me go. I wonder if two cellos would ever have happened without Darryl.

"Phaedra (Steven Wilson 2018 Stereo Remix)" by Tangerine Dream

Listen on Apple Music

Bonus points for the name of the river.
