Get yours now while you can (https://www.meaningwave.com/collections/dunewave)! They’re beautiful! As you can see in this video (https://linktw.in/5ecVPC) where I open mine and do everything I can to contain the whirlwind of emotions it stirs in me!
SPEAKING OF WHICH!
I write this from Downtown Miami, where I am recovering from playing a special set at The Atlas Society’s 007 Gala (https://www.atlassociety.org/gala) at the Frost Museum Of Science last night. This was my first time in the USA since we got unceremoniously locked out in 2021, and my first time in Miami since I first came to the USA way back in 2004. A most auspicious time loop indeed.
I performed a trilogy of new songs I have written adapted from Ayn Rand’s ANTHEM, the first of which will be released next week. Meaningwave really is powerful - I can now recite chapter 11 of ANTHEM font to end. Soon you can too!
This was followed by a set of Meaningwave classics old and new. The whole event was filmed, so there should be some footage emerging soon, and I will write further on the whole adventure soon. Right now I need to go check into my next hotel over at Miami beach, where I get to discover as the water is still as, well, still, as it was 19 years ago, when I spent many happy days floating in it, gazing at the clouds and the airplanes flying above advertising club nights, Thinking Big.
LOVE! TO! YOU! AND! YOUR! FAMILY!

“You can't pursue happiness
You could pursue a wild animal
You could pursue a ball
That's rolling downhill
You could pursue a car
You could pursue a dog
Because those are all real
But happiness you can't pursue
You could end up happy
But you can't pursue happiness
There are two things
You can pursue
That'll get you there…”
Make some noise for the grand return of Scott Adams () to the Meaningwave Universe! And with a song that couldn’t be more perfectly Meaningwave if it was synthesized in a lab by a team of 100 genius-level Meaningwave scholars 2000 years from now...

"Mr. Hitchcock
What is your definition
Of happiness?
A clear horizon
Nothing to worry about
On your plate
Only
Things that are creative"
We are joined this week in the Meaningwave Universe by a new voice, that of legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, speaking to us across space and time of happiness, on this soaring new instant classic, with vocals sampled from 1964’s CBS TV special, Telescope, A Talk with Alfred Hitchcock.
