Deus Ex Machina


Richard’s new album, Deus Ex Machina, sonically plays with the ideas of technology, religion, and mystical experiences. Each song has a story set in a sci-fi dystopian world that deals with these themes through the sonic lens of four of the worlds major religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism respectively) with the final song more having to do with a psychedelic mystical experience.
