After almost 20 years as a musician and recording artist, I finished my first novella earlier this year and it's just been released a few days ago. It's called "The Isolatarium." Here's a little description:
In the late 24th century, hacker Diadem Streng idles inside an isolated prison in space, tormented by his past. Dragged into dangerous experiments by his charming girlfriend, Celandine, and her dream of reviving Earth’s dead oceans, he learns a dark secret that could threaten the control of the corporate elite, the Magnates. The only way to avoid such a fate is to destroy everything he and Cela had worked so hard for before the Magnates ruin their lives. Ultimately, he is locked away in a sterile white hell, forced to obsessively search for the truth in his own memories.
The concept was actually inspired by an album I recorded and released last year with the same title (under the moniker Charlatan). As I was working on the record, the concept of an 'isolatarium' became a bit of an obsession. A year later, here we are.
In conjunction, I've also released a free soundtrack accompaniment to the book full of weird electronic music by myself and friends:
