MOSAICS, Puma Theory, and Maudlin: A Musical Tale of London’s Evening at The Finsbury Pub

David Webster is a Canadian actor and a star of The Way Home, a TV series from The Hallmark Channel, who believes that independent films with little or no budget — but with a strong script — are the purest form of love for the craft, and that established actors should take part in them. He also writes his own scripts and plans to make films, so he understands the true value of independent movies — driven purely by the passion of people willing to overcome hardships to bring them to life. With the first episode of the new season of The Way Home already out, David decided to share insights into his approach to understanding his characters. David’s character, Elliot Augustine, is like a book of secrets — forced to carry the burdens of the entire Landry family and to know the outcome of every story in advance, including his own. To better understand the character, he created an “Elliot playlist” and listened to music between takes, essentially living through Elliot’s life events through the lens of sound. The tracks began with something lighter and gradually shifted into more melancholic and dramatic tones. David shared with the founder of Drive Music Media Asya Radko how it all began for him, what the series means to him personally, the roles that changed his life, and his experience working on independent films.

Gravity Settings is a Ukrainian electronic music producer and DJ whose artistic focus is centered on atmospheric dark sound and experimental approaches to electronic music. His journey into music began in 2018 in the town of Novoyavorivsk in the Lviv region, where he started exploring music production and DJing after meeting fellow musician Ivan Hrytsyna (DJ ShON). What began with early experiments in FL Studio and small apartment DJ sets gradually evolved into a deeper study of music theory and sound design. Today, Gravity Settings develops a sonic identity built around deep, dark, and immersive textures, combining elements of techno, progressive, and experimental electronic music. His track “Ping Pong” became an important milestone in his career after receiving attention from sound engineers and radio airplay, motivating him to continue developing his work. In an interview with Drive Music Media, Gravity Settings spoke about the origins of his alias, his interest in dark sound aesthetics, the challenges of working in the music industry during wartime, collaboration with Ukrainian producer QUASAR-89, and his ongoing search for new sonic forms in electronic music.

Johnny Depp is an artist whose philosophy can be captured in a single phrase: “something came out of nothing — and that something found meaning.” London — specifically Castle Fine Art Gallery — once again opens its doors to a world of transformation and sincerity with Johnny Depp’s new collection, Accidents & Underdogs, a body of work he has been developing since 2024. The idea emerged when Johnny noticed that a box of his favorite tea was empty. He simply unfolded its corners — and the cross we see recurring in his paintings is, in fact, the tea packaging itself. Our founder, Asya Radko returned to Castle Fine Art to speak with art expert Alina Mihai about the transformative nature of Johnny’s work, the new color palette, and the meanings he has embedded in this latest exhibition.
