Exemplars of Faith: St. Elisabeth Fedde, by RedBlueBlackSilver
17 track album
redblueblacksilver.bandcamp.com
New music!
It's a bit early for Lent (I'm traveling this month) so I've got new music in honor of St. Elisabeth Fedde that's organized to accompany prayer using a Lenten Lutheran rosary - designed by Rev. J.M. Longworth.

This is my favorite track on the album because it would be right at home in my secular projects. I may try to interpret the entire set of hymns in the Lutheran Book of Worship in a similarly slowed-down and contemplative way.

Here's information about Lutheran Lenten rosaries.

I have a few handmade rosaries in the Bandcamp page. I'll try my best to get them all out in plenty of time for Lent.

The songs are my interpretations of pieces from the Lent, Holy Week, and Easter sections of Lutheran Book of Worship, 1978.
The copy of LBoW is mine in the pics. Given to me by my parents in 1983!
Some verses/sections of songs are repeated to match the number of beads/week.

Man in the Long Black Coat is my favorite song of his. I even use that type of ping pong delay all the time. The Joan Osborne cover is A+++ too.

Yeah, I'm working on something big and different! I'm really proud of this project, especially since it incorporates my other interests.
I'm hoping that I can help people have a deeper appreciation of Lutheran culture and history from a mystical perspective.

Given how pedantic the NY Times is about style, using "marijuana" instead of "cannabis" seems like an intentional bit of racism. I know they do much worse, daily, but it says a lot.

Learning Shaker music also yields useful tips for keeping time.
Tip of the day from Shaker music theory book discussing "speediometers" (metronomes) - and what to do without one:
"A bullet, attached to a smooth string, 39 1-2 inches long, from point of suspension, to the center of the ball, will very nearly vibrate seconds."

If anyone wants to learn Shaker music, this is a great book that uses standard musical notation (even though I love Shaker notation). There will be some pieces from it in my album in tribute to Ann Lee as part of my Exemplars of Faith series, sometime in February.

I made the Eastern Orthodox rosaries, but the prayer ropes are from an American artist named Olga Sokiran (www.etsy.com/shop/Orthodo...), or from St. Tikhon's Monastery (stmpress.com).

Thanks to @kenlayne.bsky.social talking about the holidays in Sante Fe and Taos on the latest Desert Oracle; @courtneydn.bsky.social and I are fantasizing (planning) a return trip to both places. Plus, as former Las Vegans we can vouch for both Sam’s Town and Ethel M’s at Christmas.
