Contributors work on their own time and schedule to produce these works, however, an attempt is made at producing works on a regular and sustained basis in order to retain focus and provide relevant creative reaction toward experiences occurring as they live their lives. The purpose of this project is to increase interest in modern art and culture and to inspire others to continue to create, imagine and explore.

Peter Gabriel’s 1987 album, So, was a huge influence on me at the time.  It’s the first album I remember truly loving from beginning to finish.  “Sledgehammer” was all over MTV at the time and was a critically acclaimed video, but one of the key songs for me was always “Red Rain”.

In an attempt to present the lyrics in a different light, we played the song in a more aggressive manner here.  The lyrics speak towards violent subject manner so, we just presented that in this piece in a different way.

Musically, Jeremy’s keyboards are providing the trip-hop rhythm here with Neil providing textural complexity with doumbek percussion work.
