My introduction to Skinwalker Ranch was from the TV show only a few years ago. My girlfriend and I were looking for something scary to watch then stumbled upon this series about a unique piece of property in the Utah desert where weird things are studied. If you have never watched the show, Skinwalker Ranch is a 500 acre property originally a part of the Navajo and Ute territories. It was later overseen by the US Government and is widely considered to be a nexus for paranormal research. The History Channel has put out several seasons where scientists and local professionals search, study and try to understand the odd phenomena that continue to happen there. This turned out to be very inspirational for writing lyrics. The challenge I had was trying to figure out what genre would best describe and personify the weirdness of the ranch.

     All this time we thought Sci-fi was just for fun but now we have learned that it might be real. It only makes sense to have a whole new soundtrack for this change of reality. Songwriter Alex Hutchinson's first full length album Persistent Existence attempts to turn the streaming world upside down.  Alex uses AI technology to create a wide variety of vocals and music to elevate his stunningly sophisticated lyrics. The genres range from dance to rock, country to musical theater and everything in between. The subjects vary from serious to silly as he takes on missing scientists, remote viewing, skinwalker ranch, shadow creatures, deep state conspiracies, alien threesomes and so much more. Not only does he tell stories of the strange and unusual, he also attempts to unite humanity under the new understanding that these are no longer subjects that can be swept under the rug. The presence of non-human intelligence among us is the biggest revelation in the history of ...
