I performed all of the instruments heard on the record. Each song was based around an initial improvisation. Though heavily processed, none of the songs contain samples.

Instruments used are: Piano, Clarinet, Guitar, Violin, Xylophone, Bowed-Guitar (or playing a guitar with a violin bow), Thumb-Harp, Auto-Harp & Acoustic Guitar.



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.

  1. Incredible stuff. Without meaning to sound like a greeting card, your music continues to inspire me.

  2. Thanks so much. I'm still kinda shocked that I manage to inspire anyone. It means the world, it really does.

    I first got wind of your work back when the Speed Of A Year comp went up on the SA forums, i've been a listener ever since. Sunset/Snyder has featured on pretty much every playlist and mix CD i've made since.

    "Keep up the good work" doesn't begin to cover it!
