I should have a new pic up some time next week. I've just finished the rough sketch, so it should be finished soon. I just need to start the line art and the rest of that stuff on photoshop. I promise it's going to be good.


Anyways, I'm listening to this amazing, but incredibly sad and incredibly creepy song called 'On the Transmigration of Souls' If you're in the mood for something that will inspire you or make you cry, I suggest this one. Or, if you're in the mood for music inspired by 9/11 other than country music(we all know there's too much of that anyways) this is good.

Here's the description of the song:
The work is notable for containing texts from the countless "missing person" signs that became such a heartwrenching symbol of the events, which are both narrated and sung.

The title itself carries a certain heaviness of thought and meaning. According to Adams, “Transmigration means ‘the movement from one place to another’ or ‘the transition from one state of being to another.’ But in this case I meant it to imply the movement of the soul from one state to another. And I don’t just mean the transition from living to dead, but also the change that takes place within the souls of those that stay behind, of those who suffer pain and loss and then themselves come away from that experience.”

Adams utilizes a “soundscape” to surround the audience with recordings of city sounds, such as traffic, sirens, footsteps, etc, along with different voices reading names of the victims of September 11. The piece contains no musical narrative, and other than the litany of documents about the victims from newspaper memorial and missing person fliers, there is no other sung text.

Sorry to bombard you with all that info, I tried the best I could to cut it down. There's more here if you want to know about it: [link] or for the words used : [link]

Anyways, the song is about 25 minutes long. It's very sad. The first time I listened to it, I only got 10 minutes into it before I got scared, started crying, and turned it off. Let me tell you, not a song to listen to in the dark or before bed. But once you get used to it, it really is beautiful.

That's all I have to say today! Enjoy your life while you still can!
