T I L L I S O N

BRITISH KEYBOARDIST-SINGER-SONGWRITER

FOR

PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND

'T H E    T A N G E N T'

 

The Tangent is a Progressive Rock Band from Northern England, based around keyboards player, composer and idiosyncratic vocalist Andy Tillison Diskdrive.

Their music is cinematic and lyrical, full of narrative, often telling stories or making observations about the world we live in - often choosing subject matter more associated with Anarcho-Punk bands than with the genre in which the band choose to base themselves. "No Hobbits or Orcs in our songs" The band have released a steady output of well-regarded albums through their record label Inside Out Music.

The band has changed personnel many times and has used this fluidity to keep ideas fresh and lucid. The debut album released in 2003 The Music that Died Alone was often referred to as a "supergroup" project, though Tillison has always eschewed this title, preferring to go for the less obvious "a good idea".

In twelve years, the group has had close affiliations with Swedish progressive legends The Flower Kings, and Jonas Reingold (bass) from that band remains in the Tangent to this day despite the departure of Roine Stolt from the Tangent ten years ago now. David Jackson (Van Der Graaf Generator) was heavily featured on that debut album, Jakko Jakszyk (now of King Crimson) has been a frequent collaborator along with Theo Travis (Steven Wilson Band, Soft Machine Legacy, Gong etc.). Guy Manning, Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), David Longdon (Big Big Train) have all played key roles in the band's development and the band was instrumental in bringing the talents of the astonishing young guitarist Luke Machin (Maschine) to the world for the first time.

Tangent philosophy has been to embrace other more contemporary bands. Whether overtly progressive themselves (Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, Argos, Magenta etc.) or completely away from the official boundaries of the genre into metal, Jazz, modern pop, soul, disco and film music, the Tangent do not follow the prog rock rule book.

"It's more what we don't do that sets us apart" Tillison said in a 2007 interview... "we've always avoided doing the 12 string acoustic stuff, and in fact anything that gets too Genesissy or Floyd-like usually (not always) gets binned.. that's not to say that there aren't influences.. just that we don't like the idea of being confined to the styles of those particular figureheads. The spirit of progressive rock music was carried by lots more people than Genesis. I think that too many of us (new bands) use the obvious source - i.e. the 70s bands and forget to look around us and see what our contemporaries are up to!"

Over the years the band has had many manifestos, all of which are still relevant to the future of the Tangent..

Andy Tillerson’s progressive bands have been "A New Opera" 1978 - 1986, "Gold Frankincense & Diskdrive" 1987 - 1995, Po90 (Parallel Or 90 Degrees) 1996 - 2010 and The Tangent 2002 - the present. With over 20 albums released out there - Andy has been one of the most committed and unrelenting advocates of Progressive Music through its darkest days.

Guest Biography:

Overcoming Depression and Anxiety...Finding Your Soul's Purpose

Ann Wagner is a speaker and author with 30+ years of first-hand experience in the areas of depression and anxiety. After a traumatic brain injury and subsequent out of body experience (OBE), Ann has focused her study on the relationship between our thoughts, our consciousness, and the direct impact on our mental health.

All of our thoughts, positive and negative, go into the universe with certain vibrational energies attached. Thoughts of love, compassion, and happiness have higher vibrations than fear, anger, and anxiety. We attract “more” of whatever we put our minds toward. If we put out thoughts and feelings of despair or anxiety, we attract people and situations with similar energy vibrations. The good news is that if we can shift to higher vibrational energy, we can completely change our circumstances for the better.

She speaks to audiences about "re-training the brain" by slowing the mind (meditation) and changing the "programming." On the most fundamental level, she teaches techniques that can change negative thought patterns as they arise. With practice and over a period of time, she shows how we can radically change our consciousness and the outcomes in our lives.
Depression and anxiety can be situational or deep-seated. By aligning the physical, mental, and soul self, Ann shows how one can experience lasting mental health and true fulfillment.

Guest Biography:
Let's just skip the business babble and get down to it, shall we?
 
I come to work every day because I help solve one of the biggest problems in marketing a business: Everyone is guessing.
 
What's going to bring qualified clients to your doorstep? Maybe if you focus on building your email list... step up that social media posting... go Live more often... then that will be the magic formula that inspires potential clients to beat down your door.
 
And hey, all of these things do work. I've used them myself. But the fact is, those methods burn a lot of midnight oil.
 
I'm here because I've discovered a method that works very well: Messenger Marketing (also known as bots).
 
Bots allow you to:
  1) Have a one on one conversation with potential clients
  2) Get answers to all your questions
  3) Be able to qualify potential clients - automagically
 
Most of all, bots have been freakin' amazing for my business. And I want to tell every single solopreneur I know.
 
Fun Facts
 
I've been coaching people about technology since 1998. That's even before we were worried about the year 2000 destroying all computers everywhere.
 
I remember Oregon Trail, and actually have died from dysentery.
 
I once spent five months in a country where I didn't know the language, just so I could learn how to explain things more effectively to people.
 
Note: The results were both great and terrible. My explaining skills greatly increased, but I also did get kicked off a train once. (It was NOT moving at the time.)
 
I love teaching technology like it's my best friend. And I have the most outstanding clients on Earth.

Guest Biography:

Royce Morales arrived in this life with an insatiable quest to understand the mysteries of the mind, emotions, and spirit. For years she religion hopped, tried every personal development training and spiritually-based course, only to feel even more frustrated, lost and confused.

Quite inadvertently, this inner delving opened her own intuitive gift of groundbreaking transformational tools that got to the core of personal blocks, subconscious programmed fears, and self-sabotaging limitations. ​

People became curious, so Royce began teaching small groups. Lives began to shift almost miraculously. Students awakened to their Higher Possibilities, discovered depths of who they really are and why they're here. Pain, anger, confusion, frustration, and hopelessness dissolved. Stuck repetitive patterns ceased. 

Most significantly, spiritual concepts integrated and became applicable, rather than just nice-sounding theories.  

In her Perfect Life Awakening center, Royce continued to teach small groups for several decades. With each group that arrived, she discovered more ways to help people empower themselves. 

Observing what's going on in the world, and with the ease of technology, she decided it was time to make her teachings more widely accessible. Royce developed an intensive, remote program that's just as powerful as her small group classes.   

It's called "Empower Your Life."

"Royce is an authentic channel of consciousness!" - Donna Duffield, Prophet of Love podcast host

Empower Your Life

The Empower Your Life course offers profound, inner transformation, that can shift how you perceive everything, especially yourself. It's an insightful wake-up call, giving you applicable tools and Real World mindfulness practices to start or accelerate your spiritual journey. 

Rather than reading yet another self-help book, Empower Your Life is experientially discovering and breaking through core, false, subconscious notions about yourself that are running (and perhaps ruining) your life.

Yet, is Mankind alone solely responsible for this predicament? Or is there some type of UNSEEN spiritual force behind it all?

Is there truly an unseen international conspiracy to bring about an End-Times Apocalypse in the making?

And have such circumstances been predicted for thousands of years by Prophecies? Could we be the final generation that is actually nearing such an earth-shaking cataclysmic conclusion? Or will Earth be SAVED by a friendly UFO invasion of benevolent SNAKE creatures from a different dimension? If so, will they actually help us or hurt us...???

Guest Occupation: Author/journalist covering Washington, DC
Guest Biography:

Harry Jaffe is a legend among journalists and writers covering the city of Washington, DC — its politics, its crime, its heroes and villains. Beyond Washington, his work has been published in Playboy, Yahoo News, Men’s Health, Harper’s, Esquire and newspapers from the San Francisco Examiner to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He’s appeared in documentary films, TV and radio across the country and Europe.

Jaffe started reporting for the Rutland (VT) Herald in 1974. By 1977 he was a statewide reporting covering politics, nuclear power and the Legislature.

Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy asked Jaffe to become his press secretary in 1978. Moving to DC, he helped get Leahy’s message to state and local media while preparing the senator for reelection. He resumed reporting with States News Service, writing about Congress and the federal government for newspapers in the Bay Area in 1980. He learned the craft of long form journalism at Regardies and Washingtonian magazines. Jaffe found his niche covering the local Washington region, honing in on politics, true crime and media. As Washingtonian’s National Editor from 1990 on, he won many awards for investigative feature writing. His expose of toxic waste pits from World War I in DC’s Spring Valley triggered a $300-million ongoing cleanup.

With WRC-TV reporter Tom Sherwood, Jaffe co-authored Dream City: Race, Power and the Decline of Washington, DC, the definitive account of Washington’s emergence as a world class city, with Marion Barry as the main character. The New York Times named it one of the best political books of 1994. Published as an e-book in 2014, Dream City rose to the top of Amazon’s local history list. Universities across the U.S. have adopted Dream City as a text in Urban Studies courses.

Jaffe went on to collaborate with school reformer Michelle Rhee on Radical, her memoir and take on education in America. He followed that by collaborating with former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and Michael Kelly, her astronaut husband, in their book ENOUGH; Our Fight to Keep America Safe from Gun Violence.

As an educator, Jaffe started lecturing at Georgetown University in 1984 and became an assistant professor of media studies at American University. In 1986 he taught journalism and media at the American University in Rome. He’s lectured at the University of Maryland, Towson University, George Washington University and Trinity College.

In addition to contributing to Washingtonian and other publications, Jaffe is at work on a number of collaborations and books, as well as treatments for dramatic productions.

Guest Biography:

Micheal Black's story is one of Defeat and Victory!
Author of "Happy Endings and a New Beginning.”

Michael has found his voice after keeping silent far too long. He's a survivor of multiple years of child sexual assault by 3 separate men outside his family unit. From that trauma came an early onset addiction to sex, which subsequently then became one with his fourteen-year love affair with drugs, and then turned over a new leaf…..sobriety.

He survived the AIDS epidemic, child sexual assault, abuse, rape, a survivor to meth, cocaine and even heroin, and conquered four months of aggressive chemotherapy. Michael was married, to a woman and divorced rather quickly. Lived the Gay life, had two committed relationships with men. Today, he is happily married...to a woman who completes him.

Micheal Black is living proof of higher power and prayer, changes things!!

Aspiring to share his passion for life through writing and public speaking, Michael reveals intimate details of his lifelong journey through the pages of his tell-some book, “Happy Endings and a New Beginning.” Michael was born in Southern California and grew up with a lot of family around him. At eight years of age, his family moved to Northern California to a small town a couple of hours from the Oregon border. He lived there with his mother, brother and new stepdad in a small town with small-town values.

Unfortunately, those small-town values did not attach themselves to every person that Michael encountered. As such, Michael now speaks openly of the many years he endured sexual abuse by several different pedophiles, along with his sexual orientation and the struggles that illuminated because of his choices.

He struggled to live two separate lives as he had been raised in a home and church where homosexuality was looked down upon, yet he tried to live his own truth. In order to cope with the mass confusion festering in his young mind, Michael casually began using street drugs, which led him to a fourteen-year affair with those same drugs and so much more. It darkened his life path. At age 33, Michael's high-life partying came to an abrupt end, leaving him hospitalized and sober. He began looking to his Higher Power to sort out his life that was in a state of ruin.
