Unplugged – Coming June 1st
Every capsuleer is terrified of being unplugged; being unable to recover from the ultimate vulnerability; to be disconnected, detached, isolated; to die alone.
This latest Roc Wieler album inspired by Eve Online is something a little different than what has come before. Join Roc on a raw and emotional acoustic journey of self-discovery, which feels both warm, tender and intimate, yet surprisingly provocative.
Available June 1st from your favourite digital music store.

More gym. More drones. More grit. More Roc. Use that pain, that emotion to fuel you forward. Driven. Focused. My year. Get more done. Longing. Loneliness. Fuel. I got this, just like a thousand times before. Me. Pushing against the universe. Continue reading
Day 4
I win. I love you.
Day 3
I’d love to tell you this is a romantic story about a man missing a woman, sitting down to savour a soothing cup of cocoa she had bought him before her departure, and that as he wrapped himself inside a blanket, bundled up contently on the couch in their quarters to stay warm during one of the station’s frequent malfunctions, he sipped gently on the frothy liquid, smiling at the little things she did for him.

Day 2
What most people didn’t realize is that manufacturers always appealed to the lowest common denominator. This was often in part due to the harmonized regulations they would have to adhere to, and/or to reduce production costs, and/or to accommodate TTP Continue reading
