"This album is ugly. Imagine a giant, rustic elephant with the torn flesh of a once-living lion hanging from its lips, bulbous black eyes dried to a crevice, and skin blistered to pus-filled pools, and you'll have a rough idea. Some truly raw, unsettling stuff here. Not for a sunny day.
Note: Don't forget your headphones."

The Man Closing Up is a through-composed, singular piece of music, divided into five sections. These five "songs" are intrinsically linked, through text, form, and motivic material. The texts are based on the improvisational poetry of Donald Justice. The dark and lonely imagery of the work informs the music, as well as the illustration of oceanic
themes. The words and music become closely related, carefully intertwined through elements of form and text painting.
As for the actual composition, the majority of the music began as combinatorial 12-tone music, sometimes to remain true to it's serial genesis, sometimes to wander to other regions of atonality. Elements of Free Improvisation also find it's way into the music, adding an element of abandon, and the unknown.
My new 3 album box set ODESSA delves into the disgusting involvement the United States government had in hiding Nazi war criminals that were deemed, "intelligence assets", to be used against the Russians. ODESSA also examines the enthusiastic role the Franciscan Order, Argentinian and Chilean Governments, and Arab leaders who hated the Jews played in hiding and finding new homes for former fascists. It seems many nations had a reason to keep these monsters from being captured, and this is my attempt to expose the establishment of a Fourth Reich in South America that still exists to this day.

The play will be broken up with intermissions featuring the projects performing.
More info on the play:
We are all Ulysses’ crewmen. We’ve got wax in our ears and a madman lashed to the mast.
The Situation: Ulysses' Crewmen have mutinied. The captain has been captured and the moral of Homer's tale has been reversed. All the mutineers perished but one, who is now left alone with the hero of all western civilization struggling against obsolete morality and the impossibility of ethical action.
Unplug your ears, release the madness, hear the siren’s song and let yourself be dashed against the rocks!”
The Exposition, in the form of a fictional news report: A member of the US delegation has been kidnapped. Police are currently out in force searching for the mi
