Theologia Ex Machina - ValveDriver

Thank you, Rita.

I'll go give it a listen right now.

Thanks, man. I appreciate the feedback. As far as giving it a try, I say go for it!
Take care.

It does make sense, Glenn. I think it makes more sense today than it has in a long time.
Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. I really do appreciate it.
Take care.

If I remember correctly, Chris, the poet I used on Lady Lazarus was Sylvia Plath. The lady in this one is some random lady I found claiming to have had an interaction with Mother Mary and St. Michael. The male vocals are from someone reading the Prayer of St. Michael. I just processed them. Heavily.
I'm going to take "interesting" as a compliment. Mainly because I like to make art that makes people think. Not only in music, but in my drawing and painting as well.
Either way, thanks for having a listen, and leaving some feedback.
Take care.
Aaron

Thanks F2F.
I'm not familiar with Warhammer 40k. But if it's sounds like this track, I may have to look into it!
Take care, man.

Thank you, Anthony. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've only recently started diving into the ambient genre. So far, I really enjoy it.
As far as the content, your interpretation is very close to what I had in mind while making it.
To me, religion is not revelation, but mechanism. A system built to impose order and meaning on an indifferent reality. Its power comes from structure and repetition, not truth or belief. Like a machine, it functions regardless of faith, producing comfort, control, or judgment as outputs. This track reflects this: divinity as artifact, faith as process, meaning manufactured rather than found.
This isn't a matter of questioning the existence of a higher power, but questioning the lore that humans have built around it.
Again, thank you Anthony.
Take care.

I sent you an email as well. Go check it out if you haven't already.

Danke, what's up, brother? I'm glad to hear from you. You've been so quiet lately I thought maybe you had given up on us. I'm happy to see that you haven't.
Thanks for giving this one a listen. I've recently discovered that I really like creating Ambient tracks. All of my work always kind of has been, but now I just dove in head first to see what I can come up with.
So, no heavy guitars for awhile. :-) You've always been more of a fan of my darker synth stuff. And that's perfectly fine with me. I'm just glad you like what I do!
Take care, mister. I hope all is well with you as well!
Take care.

Mark, how are ya, bud? There is absolutely no denying the industrial element in this one! Industrial has been a steady part of my rotation since 1989. I don't think, at this point, there's any escaping it in my own music.
I'm glad you took the time to listen and comment on this one.
Take care, my friend.
Aaron.

Thanks, Robin. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip through the machine!
Take care.

Thanks, Paul. I always appreciate hearing from you. This is a dark summbitch, innit? It may be one of my darkest yet. I'm kind of liking this ambient genre. It really allows room for me to breathe!
Take care, brother.
Aaron

Thanks, Dan. Do it! With your skills, I'm sure you'll come with something good! I look forward to hearing it when you've finished.
Take care.

Thank you, Kay. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. The possibilities truly are endless. That's the great thing about music, you can interpret them how you'd like, and make your own realities. As beautiful, or as horrifying, or as beautifully horrifying as you'd like that reality to be.
Thanks again, Kay.
Take care.
