Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this.

To ICE: "You can repent"

This is the first in my Exemplars of Faith series.

I laser engraved boxes to include w/the St. Dymphna rosaries/prayer cards/CDs. While supplies last, or if you already bought the set. An Anglican/Episcopal version is also available. #exemplarsoffaith

Thank you. It feels good to branch out into something new.

Exemplars of Faith: St. Dymphna (Standard Version - 59 Beads), by RedBlueBlackSilver 21 track album

Finally, after a year of work, I'm ready to share the first of my Exemplars of Faith series in honor of St. Dymphna.

The music is free, but I also have handmade rosaries available, along with a CD - just click on the bandcamp link!

These albums are tuned to 432Hz for deeper meditation, and each track has either binaurals or solfeggio tones for additional healing, focus, and connection.

The next one will be in honor of Saint Ariadne of Phrygia.

I hope this project provides you with peace in a chaotic world.

Exemplars of Faith: St. Dymphna (Anglican/Episcopal Version - 33 Beads), by RedBlueBlackSilver 13 track album

Here is the Anglican/Episcopal version for 33 bead rosaries.

Please let me know if you are short of funds, I am going to try to help whoever I can.

Music in this series use sounds, modes/scales from the saint's time and place.

The Goltraighe, the Geantraighe, and the Suantraighe are the ancient Irish names of the Dorian, Phrygian, and Lydian modes, respectively. I made the St. Dymphna music using these historically accurate modes. #exemplarsoffaith

Thank you. It means a lot.

Ken has always, always been very good to me, and he gives plenty of credit even though he isn't obligated to in any way. I send him music because I have always been a fan of the show (even in the early episodes before I got involved) and I know how to do it without getting in the way of his voice.

If you would like to participate but are short on funds, please write to me (in DMs). I've made over 300 rosaries in the past year, and CDs are relatively cheap. I will try to help as many people as I can.

I have made great efforts to emulate instruments and composition methods/music theory from each saint's time and place in history. The first volume is in honor of St. Dymphna, a source of inspiration to me.

I will have CDs and corresponding handmade (by me) rosaries available on Bandcamp this week.

This is a personal project for me, but there hasn't been any change in my life prompting it. I made concept albums about books of the Bible over five years ago. Mostly they are reactions to a culture obsessed with AI, and secular life that (to me) seems to offer less than at any time in my 53 years.

Sometime this week I am releasing the first in a series of instrumental guided meditation albums in honor of the saints. They correspond to the timing/order of rosary prayer, both standard (59 bead) and Anglican/Episcopal (33 bead).

Please mute #exemplarsoffaith if you don't want to see the posts.

It's also the source of my favorite Dylan cover (in a crowded field).

There was something in the water in 1989. Even established artists like Neil Young and Bob Dylan refocused.

I stole something specific from this one - the only effect I use consistently (ping pong delay).

I was listening to The Mute Gods this morning and saw "Hallelujah" in the track listing...fortunately it was an original.

Venice Bakery is remembering those that have died in ICE custody this year by adding them to their community altar for Dia de Los Muertos.

YouTube video by The Mute Gods - Topic Early Warning

Been obsessed with The Mute Gods lately. It's so good to listen to new-ish projects from one of my favorite musicians of my pre-teen years (Nick Beggs - Kajagoogoo bass player).

Lutherans should be about to pick one personal patron saint, as a treat

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.
