New wererabbit album: Sound Emanating from a Glowing Cube

Hi friends! 

More sounds from an alternate timeline: this album is the story of three unexplained objects — a glowing cube; a cold, dark sphere; and a floating pyramid — my homage to the monolith in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. 

I hope you enjoy Sounds Emanating from a Glowing Cube!

Murmurations, pixelations, static and Brownian motion...

Visually, I'm exploring the "randomness" of digital display errors/static and how they mirror the "randomness" of natural patterns somewhere between chaos and synchrony: starling murmurations, Brownian motion, etc. 

Further exploration: Can murmurations be "read" as a form of asemic writing? 

Can pixelations or static?

New wererabbit album VIR

January 14, 2023: I've been feeling under the weather, so I stayed home sick from work and finished this album. More than ever, I have tried to adhere to Eno's statement (from the liner notes to Ambient 1: Music for Airports) that "Ambient Music... must be as ignorable as it is interesting." I'm not sure that's always possible, but it's useful to have something to aspire to. 

So here it is: VIR. I think this is a good album to listen to while you are doing other things. You can listen to this album while you're reading, or cooking, or doing laundry. You can also listen to this album when you're not doing anything, or when you're taking a nap, or even when you're staying home sick from work (though I certainly don't make any claims that there are any specific health benefits associated with listening to this album). 

And remember: don't go to work when you're sick.

I finished 18 paintings in 2022

2022 was a very productive year for me as a painter. I finished 18 paintings in my Spacescapes, Lunar, and Natural Errors series. I'm looking forward to what 2023 will bring, creatively speaking. I'm hoping I will return to my writing with renewed energy in the coming year.

wererabbit's Music for the Life of Lamb 5-2-3 is available now!

 

Available now on Bandcamp! 

In this debut album from wererabbit, Lamb 5-2-3 escapes from The Facility, a strange outpost where he was the subject of unknown experiments. While making his escape, he almost drowns, and when he washes ashore inside a cave, he discovers that he glows in the dark. Gradually, Lamb 5-2-3 recovers memories of his mysterious past. He meets interesting new friends, and after escaping a meteor shower, he observes the event horizon of black hole. In a lot of ways, he's just like us. 

You can also stream the album as a playlist on YouTube.

wererabbit's debut album releases on November 8

Friends, in one week (on the next full moon) I will release my first solo album of recorded music under the name wererabbit. I hope you will listen to it and enjoy it.

As many of you know, for the last five years, I have been collaborating with A.G. Pasquella on music projects under the name LASERGNU. This recording is a little different, and it felt like its own thing.

I work in painting and music mostly to keep my approach to creative work fresh, and to bring new dimensions to my work as a writer. If you want to keep up with my wererabbit project, here are the ways you can do it:

Announcing wererabbit, my new solo ambient music project . . . coming soon!

For the last five years, A.G. Pasquella and I have been making music together as LASERGNU, and we're going to keep doing that. I will also be releasing solo music projects under the name wererabbit, with my first album coming soon. Please follow @wererabbitmusic (Twitter, Instagram, Bandcamp) to stay in the loop.
