Here's one of the tracks from the record "
Abraham and Yahoel, borne by a dove, ascend to the heavens…":


This is a project presentation based on music of the apocalypse for my class Art Religion and the Apocalypse. For my presentation I recorded an albums worth of material based on themes within the Christian Apocalypse, specifically the Book of Revelation.

Another one from album 91: Wreaths Of Tears (More Album Art From R. Chiappone)

DAYS RUN AWAY XCI: WREATHS OF TEARS



Here's another track off of Days Run Away XCI: Wreaths Of Tears. The album art is by close friend Rebecca Chiappone (who's address for her photography is listed on the side). This is a piano/found sound track which I'm really quite proud of. Album art's above.

Last Night In Madison/New Song From Album 93

DAYS RUN AWAY XCIII: GHOSTS



I'm going fast I guess. I'm pretty happy with most of the material. This is a song, involving the crappiest keyboard I've ever owned and a broken acoustic guitar (which is covered in gum wrappers and has only four strings and is very out of tune). Thanksgiving went well. Nothing really to say about that. Got a lot of homework in the remaining semester. It's been a pain in the ass and it's almost over.

Anyway, this is the second song from
D.R.A. XCIII: GHOSTS, entitled 'Brothers'.
