You have created a flawless synthesis of music and philosophy, and in doing so are pioneering both. Bravo.

[guscadle]

More Rand! I’d love to hear your take on the Fountainhead!

“Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received — hatred. The great creators — the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors — stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.”

[RHampton]

You have taken Rand's cold logic and turned it into something that is so beautiful. Much respect. The oppressed soul sings out for freedom.

Another Banger notch on the belt and in the books. 🌊🌊🌊

[sway-laduenas]

Woah, each one felt so epic each transition wasn't expected. F in the chat for epic activities only in 2024!

[sheckypavel]

[JES]

This book is amazing and I loved hearing it put to music!

[travelmatte]

The more I explore your art, the more I respect you as a thinker and philosopher.

[BGio-fbbi]

My treasure is such a treasure. Perfection. Tysm

[JoshO]

I didn’t get the notification! YT must be trying to drain the 🌊 loved the first song the most, followed by 3rd. Good use of AoT clips for the 2nd song!

Awesome set 🌊🌊🌊🎤🆓

[lizbec]

So so so so so so wonderful and lovely! Diolch!

[gsockpuppet]

Thank you for this. I wonder if you've had a chance to read any Nathaniel Branden yet. His work on self esteem would fit so well with your worldview.

[nonyadyambuisness]

for these past couple years, to a bit of admitted shame, helps keep me on the path like a crutch. I am at least still on the path, and that has made all the difference.

[MorganMindfulness]

I vaguely remembered reading this book as a kid, and couldn't remember what it was called.

The quotes from this mix was enough to be pretty sure it was Anthem. Thank you for helping me find this treasure from my past.

[newtalking]

You are the best -- can feel your positive intention all the away to here in Hawaii -- much aloha

[starwarsgalaxiesonli]

Love it all, thanks for this work, Akira !

[Ludx]

great piece of beautiful art again from you :) have a good time!

[tigears]

i would love it so much if you made more ayn rand songs but using clips from her interviews/lectures akin to the style of the meaningwave tracks you've made for other figures like jordan peterson etc, i would listen to that every day
