Here is a funny little poem I wrote a few weeks back. Maybe it'll be a song one day, but for now, I thought you'd find it funny. I still don't have a name for it yet...got any idea?
Her body’s made of man made things,

Todays free song is an exclusive release of "Life In An Instant".
This song started as a day dream, wherein a future mankind could freeze time, and then live in that frozen second of time.
At first in the dream, it seemed a great thing. No hunger, n...
2018-02-02 18:57:10 +0000 UTC View PostI had an idea a few weeks ago that just popped into my head, a whole story, fully formed.
“What if we could stop time, but then live our lives inside that instant of stopped time?”
Imagine a world where people could chose to leave the regular flow of time, and l...

Here's a little behind the scenes in the making of Abney Park's next album.
2018-01-24 22:31:44 +0000 UTC View PostI was never really exposed to Pink Floyd much as a kid, but I listened to Dire Straights religiously. Finally, a few years ago, a guitar player in the band stayed up late with me, and we played each other songs.
He'd play me Pink Floyd, I'd listen, think "Marc Knopfler did it better", and pla...
Okay, I was going to give you this epic Pink Floyd remix of Captain Ulysses today, but I ran out of time.
I woke up, and forgot that I was supposed be remixing a song for the band Angelspit...then, I had band practice.
Anyway, tomorrow. I promise!
Early this month I had given you all our Christmas album, but the link hadn't been working. Here it is again.
I also added that song I I sang with Chloe, "Ho Ho Ho" into this album, so you could listen to them all together.
Thanks for pointing out that it wasn't working! Patreon...

We did record a new song for you, and if I can get myself into the studio, I’ll upload that later to...
Later this week I want to release another Patreon "perk", for Patrons at the $5 or higher level. I though, "instead of me just coming up with something, how about I ask the Patreon what they want?"

Is that something you'd be interested in?
