The Post-Rapture Post - Send Messages to Loved Ones!
I hope these guys get rich.
From their website:
The
time of the rapture is at hand. The signs described in the Bible that
foreshadow the return of Jesus Christ are becoming all too clear. Not
all who live during coming Great Tribulation will be spirited away to
be with God. The Bible tells us that only those who repent of their
sins and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ may enter the Kingdom of
Heaven.
Do you know someone who is in danger of being "left behind" because of
a sinful life? Imagine if you could write a letter to a friend or loved
one after the Great Day of Reckoning. Maybe a message to your family
telling them to trust in God, and that everything will be okay. Perhaps
you would leave instructions to care for your pets after your
departure. It could be that your message is the light that opens a
sinner's eyes to the Glory of God and allows them entrance to Heaven
during the trials before the Second Coming. This is where the
Post-Rapture Post comes in.
Just write your letter and it will be hand-delivered immediately
following the exodus of the pure from the Earth. But you must be
thinking to yourself, "How can the letters be delivered after the
Rapture?" The answer is simple. The creators of this site are Atheists.
That's right, we don't believe in God. How else would we be able to
deliver your correspondence after the Rapture?
In the meantime: a song that seems apppropriate, The Sins of Kilty O'Neal. Vocal samples from the website Blackout.com. Used by permission.
Here's another song from the same era, also appropriate, called Days of Wine & Roses. Voice and chorus samples from movie of the same name. Not used with permission.
Oh, both songs by yours truly, of course: composed, composted at a time when I thought I needed to make some jungle/drumn'bass tracks to attract a younger, hipper urban audience. It worked as well as all my other plans to sell out have. Nonetheless, both songs hold a certain charm for me. Among a circle of composers and music-lovers of which I am part, there are a few people who think that Days of Wine & Roses is one of the best pieces I have ever done.
I usually think that the last piece I've composed is the best thing I've ever done. That is, of course, until the doubt creeps in. 
More on the Rapture, Santa, Satan, the Pope, donuts in Heaven, and Nixon coming soon.

Phat props to M.C. Escher as well.

 The Serge modular system I used for Flight of the Atom Bee.
Unfortunately, this is not the photograph of the Bee patch itself: there were five positions across several panels where banana cables were piggy-backed five-high, routing control voltages hither, thither and yon. And, of course, many more spots where plugs were stacked two-, three-, or four-high, a symphony of brightly colored spaghetti strands.
For a more detailed description of the constuction of the bee, bird, bee-thought sounds, the drone, etc., please continue reading. But first ....
A free mp3 download of Where The Bees Are.
Where the Bees Are was a serendipitous collaboration between me and my friend Gustavo Lanzas. It has never been heard outside my studio before. I borrowed an SP-1200 drum machine from him, and in going thru his disks, found the drum sequences, some chord parts made from a re-pitched 808 cowbell, and some other sounds used on this composition, as well as on the song Ubi Mel, Ibi Apes (where there is honey, there are bees).
I will shortly be posting 24-bit aiff files of raw Bee for musicians and composers to use in their own works.
Ubi Mel, Ibi Apes, the other song using these elements, can be found on the cd Flight of the Atom Bee, companion soundtrack to my novel Flapping. I have a limited number of the books and soundtrack CDs still available for sale.
Ubi Mel Ibi Apes, along with my composition 3 seconds before Maia smiled, another song built around unique analog sounds from the Serge, are in the permanent collection of the SF Museum of Modern Art, as part of Glenn McKay's lightshow installation, Altered States. What does this mean? It means I got my name on a wall not in a public restroom for once.
