About Metaphor

Following-up on the widespread critical and fan acclaim of their first two CDs, "Starfooted" and "Entertaining Thanatos", Metaphor has announced the release of its much-anticipated third effort, entitled, "The Sparrow." It's a rock opera about the first Jesuit mission to another planet, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by celebrated author Mary Doria Russell.

A note of interest: astronomers reported earlier this decade that the lowest note calculated to be vibrating in the universe is a B-flat (Bb), fifty seven octaves below middle C and far below the range of human hearing. It is emanating from a black hole in the Perseus galaxy cluster, some 250 million light-years away. The Bb drone at 30.87 Hz represents the universal vibrating frequency. And so the drone heard at the beginning and end of Metaphor's "The Sparrow" is a Bb - to represent both the distance in time and space of the story's concepts, as well as the universal nature of music.

Information about purchasing The Sparrow and other Metaphor CDs can be found at the Metaphor Website.
