The mission of The Catalyst is 'to promote musicians and artists who are carving their own path and leading us into a future filled with change'.
______________________Because of the tropical climate and me working with all studio windows open to be able to cope with the heat, the instruments are affected as well; in the morning, the guitar will be tuned differently then in the afternoon simply because the wood of the guitar is affected by the temperature and humidity changes.

______________________The lyrics of this song (partly) originate from 2003. I had written a couple of verses worth of lyrics for another (non-released) song, but never felt that they worked really well with the song. When I came across them again, I decided to adapt these lyrics and add to them, resulting in the lyrics that I have now used for No More.
While I was working on the lyrics of this song, I was inspired by a film called “The Corporation” (Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan). Several prominent people are featuring in this film, including Naom Chomsky, Vandana Shiva, Michael Moore and Naomi Klein. (Vandana Shiva also participated in my ‘5Q-Interview’-series).

______________________Turtuga Blanku has moved the Green Machine to a new location. The studio-part of the Green Machine is still the same. The solar system powering the studio is bigger one. There is even a small wind generator to make use of the North East trade winds so that the batteries are also charged after the tropical sun has set. Nice.
