Wonderful! You do these pieces of music justice with your art and extend them out to us!

Thank you so much! That makes me really happy to hear that! These pieces of music give something to me, speak to some part of me, move some part of me, and it's nice to be able to reciprocate

Would you accept a song in a different language? 🤨

That might be tough, alot of what inspires the work is the lyrics. I suppose if I could get a translation of the lyrics I could give it a shot.

This is awesome! 😎👍

I (re)discovered Rush in the summer of 2020, going so far down that rabbit hole it became a full-fledged rabbit warren. (LOL) I go back and forth between Vapor Trails and Clockwork Angels being my favorite album of theirs. I am totally not surprised that you listened to them once upon a time.

If you want to get an idea of what Alex is up to these days, he's part of a new group called Envy of None. Very different sound than Rush, but very good, IMO.
