Father of the Flood was a project beginning in 2005, created as a means of coping with the psychological assaults I felt confronted by through many accepted traditions and practices of our civilization. Much of the content/propaganda, both aural and visual, surrounding FOTF promotes the vegan lifestyle I embrace and encourage, especially the active support of animal liberation struggles and the direct participation of abolishing all that forsake an autonomous existence.
These pieces are intended to allow space and encourage contemplation or self-abandonment at will, they are composed of actual sounds from our urban environments that offer the listener an opportunity for a naive ear and a more self-focused position of judgement. These sounds are bleak and consuming. Swells of densely layered soundscapes and imposing drones contrasted with various cold and vacant bowed acoustic instruments/objects, sparse piano movements, and integrated field recordings.
During this time period, I did two solo west coast tours, another in support of Raven Chacon (Post Commodity Indigenous Arts Collective/Cobra Group/Sick Sick Sick Records).
