I think it's empathy, felt when we engage with those pieces and is what motivates us to attempt to make our own protest art. What have you made that aligns with this? Share it below. Let's talk #art Also, good morning 🙂

I've been documenting my artistic journey on substack. A "warts and all" exploration of how a creative explosion happened, my 20 album (and counting) project, a diary of how it feels to be a X-ennial man who believes in honesty, love and humanistic values in the 2020s as we're surrounded by hate 👇

It has been a hard journey, mentally and legally. If you have experienced online harm, I see you, and you are not alone. If you ever need someone to talk to or want to share your story, my DMs are open. We do not have to go through this in silence.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day....

Listen to Dark Matter by Kiffie on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/EgNFvSk0Ljsr...

kiffie.bandcamp.com/album/living... Tony Benn...

I'd like to invite you to have listen to this album. It uses an analogy that the infinite nature of the universe is like the infinity nature of love. Available as digital download or on vinyl only. One for fans of layered synths too... kiffie.bandcamp.com/album/approa...

I learnt today that this was live recorded in one take. That is amazing. And really beautiful. youtu.be/5FQQRYVhIVA?...

Morning all. Bit cloudy with a chance of synthpop today?

Silence is violence. Take care of the people you love. And in the most atheist way possible... pray (as in act, not wishfully think) for peace. Expose truth and espouse those who spread the opposite. Love. And love deeply. Above all sleep well.

One of the most powerful images of the 20th century is a girl running down a street with her clothes burnt off by american napalm. If you're only into art for Spotify statistics you are part of the problem.

Guernica. By Picasso. One of the greatest ever pieces of art. The Slave Ship. By Turner. One of the greatest ever pieces of art. Erioca. By Beethoven. One of the greatest ever pieces of art. "In times of trouble artists should be silent". That's fucking nonsense.

I'm working on a new album. The subtitle is "when the police come over". Here's the first draft of the artwork.

I also like discovering new music. Add your #bandcamp #Spotify #YouTube below and I will #repost it. That's how bluesky works.

I'm thinking of celebrating 2 months since my latest album came out by hosting another bandcamp listening party... let me know the best time of day for you. I'm in the UK but know many of you are elsewhere. Reply below! 👇👍

Perhaps what the world needs now is... Kiffie, some Synths and to remember that we are made by stars...? 🤩🥰😁

I hope you have all had a good weekend and that you are safe. Here's to hope for the future. #peace

It’s a double-release weekend for blávik! blavik.bandcamp.com/album/f-lgin... Still name your own price, but if you’d like to chuck some currency at me, my kitty and I would love that. Some aquatic #ambient to cool you off in the summer heat #music #musicsky #MC-101 #bandcamp #electronicmusic

One of our ancient predecessors speaks to us here in the future, and recognizes the mess we’ve made of it. #MusicSky #Bandcamp #acousticguitar aaronsmith4.bandcamp.com/track/the-an...

I don't often post about political things... (not as much as I want to anyway)... I tend to explore these ideas through music. kiffie.bandcamp.com/album/living... All sales go to @unicef.org

Perhaps a nice distraction?

Wherever you are in the world I hope you are able to look forward to a life of happiness and peace. Stay safe. To the people preventing this from happening... Stop.

There are people starving and war in the world. Death and suffering. Fear and fights for survival. And this guy uses his brain to troll and stalk an independent musician online. Fucking disgusting.

I'm trying to also imagine what it must be like to be one of their supporters, who have witnessed this behaviour first hand, and who thinks it's perfectly reasonable. Or that think me talking about it is unreasonable. Looks like complicity to me.

Imagine being the kind of person who spends over 3 years making alts, impersonations, and unfounded allegations. Leaves comments under podcasts, YouTube premieres, and during bandcamp listening parties...

Hi! I'm Kiffie. I'd like to draw your attention to 2 albums that are available to buy and download. The first is this album which is a reflection on war, it's causes and it's victims kiffie.bandcamp.com/album/living... This one is raising money for UNICEF...

As a child, I hoped that war was in the past. As a teen, i began to realise that its perpetual. As an adult I just feel like our governments don't understand that we don't want it. Is there any way out of this?

Some of us write because we’re haunted. Some of us write because we remember. The basis of empathy is to be able to put yourself in the position of others. It's rather telling that some people think this album is just "cashing in". Very revealing. kiffie.bandcamp.com/album/living...

I tell you what though... This AI response about some recent defamatory posts about me is gold. "No one targets irrelevance. You’re hit because you’re visible. Because you've done what they can't. How long will they orbit you before admitting they're just fans in denial." 🤣🤣🤣

One of the troll alts added me to a fascist list. I'd like the people who blocked me because of this list to come forward because if you're that thick I've got the cure to herpes included in all my album downloads. Hurry. Because they are time limited! Kiffie.bandcamp.com

In 2022, only 18 months after relesing my first album, I got the chance to perform my 14th album live in store at #HMV. They stocked 2 of my albums on CD. If you'd like a copy you'll find 'Pixelation' on my bandcamp.
