Contemporary rock that's "a mixture of Murder Ballads, Songs from a Room, and Hunky Dory."

A Ripple In Spacetime 

It was a couple of years ago that scientists first thought they'd found the evidence to prove the existence of gravitational waves - a theory dating back 30 years.  That's when I wrote "A Ripple In Spacetime."  The data from that first experiment ultimately proved inconclusive.  But now they've proven it again...

Childhood's End Revisited 

It's a day of new releases for a story that dates back to 1953.  Arthur C. Clarke's masterful account of what could happen if aliens meet earthlings has (finally) been adapted for the screen, as a miniseries on the Syfy channel. The first episode airs tonight. Art Schop's long time collaborator, Jimi Zhivago, wrote a song inspired by the book and when he played it for Clarke at the Chelsea Hotel he made a new fan.

Hear and watch Jimi Zhivago's version of Childhood's End on YouTube.

Listen to Art Schop's version (produced by Zhivago) here:

 

Elmore Magazine Feature 

Featuring the video of "Back To Earth" in its New Music section today, Elmore Magazine had this to say about the new album "Death Waits I: Music And Fine Arts":
"Each track on the album is a piece of art in which Walker, as Schop, may emulate the vocal mannerisms of the song’s subject. This is evident in his vignette for Bowie."

Check out the full article and the video exclusive.
