London (UK)-based electro/orchestral musician/composer Ian Williams has released a new single and video "After We're Gone". It is an edited version of a track from his current album released in November 2023, Slow-Motion Apocalypse. Williams' new single is a journey (literally, in the case of its dazzling video) - hard, hyperactive synthetics melt into Duane Eddy guitar licks before the choirs and orchestras (several of each) join the stampede to a coruscating climax.
Anyone who has been paying attention will know that the human race is in a perilous position. We inhabit a planet that is overheating and being drained of the resources needed to sustain a healthy balance for the life which exists upon it, while our politicians indulge in pointless regional wars or blinkered domestic bickering; anything to avoid having to make unpopular decisions which may help mitigate the effects of humanity's selfish excesses. We can't last forever, so what happens after we're gone?
The earth will heal just fine without us. That's what will happen after we're gone. Link
