Music Inspired by Religion

I did a short ( 8mins ) talk yesterday for It's Nice That and GF Smith's Beauty in the Making event.
I could talk about anything I wanted to and I chose music that is inspired by religion that I like from the view point of being an atheist.

I didn't have time to play clips so here are links to all the things I talked about.

I read a poem I wrote a while ago at the end that fit with what I was talking about.
I have put that at the bottom of this post.

Can we sing?

Like they used to

Eyes Closed

Red Faced

And hearts full.

There are no gods to sing to anymore

No Land or Sea we have to thank

Sat still all day 

What will be our celebrations?

What words will rise from our mouths

And mingle with others

To make us Float.

New Prints

I've been working on some new prints for an upcoming show at AMV.
Nice to do some more bold and colourful work.

I may do them as an edition of A3 prints.

I now have two websites! supermundane.com for my art & personal work and rob-lowe.co.uk for my graphic design, magazines and lettering.

They are both me, just slighty different sides of me...have fun looking around.
