I am working on a new CD. Since last November I have been inspired on many levels. Someone suggested I work on more music with a specific theme, so the result is a suite of four pieces based on the “Four Watchtowers” of the Sumerian “Fallen Angels” cursorily referred to in the “Old Testament”. This collection of stories is mostly filched from Sumerian history, masquerading as something new to the tribes of Israel. Enochian magic is also influenced by the Sumerian source, and I have encountered it from time to time over the years. I though it would make an excellent source for musical material for theremin and quickly over three months I have been happy with the results, enough to put them on Soundcloud, and now a part of OKAPI, my new CD release. On the page is a song list and a poster for anyone who really likes the album artwork. The CD also includes a suite dedicated to a local landmark, White Rock Lake, a large swelling in White Rock Creek here in Dallas. I had occasion at Yule to visit the scene of dense and dramatic fog. I found the music I was working on to relate significantly to the clouds rolling in over the Lake, and a striking moment when seven swans appeared out of the nearby papyrus reeds to swim out into it. What could be more appropriate, what with the lights of the season reflected through the fog and on the reflective night? I posted it to a page entitled Yule. It’s still there if you would like to listen. There have been some changes for the CD, but it is still a good review.
