Judgment Day by Tony Parisi

My all-time favorite speculative fiction author is Robert Heinlein. His decades-spanning career cast such a huge shadow that it would be hard to sum it up here. Hes probably best known for penning Stranger in a Strange Land as well as other notable works including The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Time Enough for Love and Starship Troopers. While his later writing may be cringeworthy in todays woke world (lots of male gaze stuff), overall his collective body of work is very progressive and though-provoking, highly individualistic but also compassionate, always probing the human condition.
\n\n
One of my top Heinlein picks is his 1960 novella If This Goes On, which tells the tale of a Christian theocracy that has come to power in the United States and a Masonic revolution intent on overthrowing it. It explores media manipulation, power politics, the role of organized religion, and personal belief. As a bonus, the novella features a strong female lead named Magdalene, a nun who plays a key part in the plot to take the country back.
\n\n
As I was first conceiving the musical, I decided to employ the device of a protagonist delivering first-person admonitions to the audience to both open and close the story. The themes in the Heinlein story fit so well for a Revelation tale, and are always so top of mind for me, that the idea to title the opening piece after the novella naturally popped into my head. This one narrative choice unlocked several others going forward. While the story is totally different, the thematic overlap strongly suggested certain characters and situations. In hindsight, it was a very good choice.

Vaporize is an exhibition of how open-source artificial intelligence can be leveraged at a high level by traditionally trained artists to create stunning novelty in our works. With extensive knowledge of a range of software applications and digital painting techniques I have extracted, polished and animated hundreds of generative elements from Stable Diffusion to create a living artwork. As of mint date, this is the first Visionary artwork employing this approach.

Inspired by a number of life-changing experiences and based upon an earlier design called, Exhale, Vaporize has reached an extraordinary level of complexity with a deeply human touch. The 32 second seamless loop animation is set to music composed by the legendary McKay Voiles and features 2 complete artworks: Exhale Diffused and The 3rd Toke.

*Each element has been inspired and recreated from an earlier design work of mine entitled, Exhale. Revolutionary Stable Diffusion technology, digital painting in Photoshop, 3D models built in ZBrush and animation in After Effects have all been employed in the creation of Vaporize

Haunted House

The second official WesGhost release "Haunted House" is a continuation of my story through the sounds inside my head. Ive always loved scary movies as a kid & I often wondered why the world- myself included- is so fascinated by terrifying things. Perhaps seeing bad things happen in movies allows us to escape the bad things happening in our own lives. Maybe there's something about the thrill of our fight or flight response that exhilarates us in times of fear. But what happens when life itself feels like a scary movie that you just can't seem to escape? This song is about breaking outside of the limits the world puts us in & escaping the haunting inside of our own heads. Influenced by my love for 90s/00s electronic & hip hop, Haunted House" is the 2nd installment inside the mind of a ghost.
