about

Spiked Tinsel (a play on the words "Spike Proteins" and "Tinsel" to generate the neologism "Spiketeinsel") is an experimental album incorporating namegrams, X-grams, and algorithmic bonus compositions acknowledging the first 100 COVID deaths in the United States published in the New York Times. The matching title work is a reflection on COVID19, the year 2020, and the rise of the vaccine wars (or better put, the vaccine "race").

The overall work is a launch album that led to the incorporation of Ahmadeus Beaux-Arts and my acceptance as a collaborating member company of Newlab (a high-tech startup incubator, i.a.) located at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City. These commissions were funded in part by the United States Artists: Artist Relief Grant, which I was awarded in August 2020. We hope to achieve ongoing support in 2021 to transform "101 Ghosts" to full works (not as is, but as those which have been presented in the preceding 19 tracks) in a committed effort to commemorate the lives of those who fell (and continue to fall) victim to the coronavirus and complications related to COVID19, COVID panic, mental health suffering, job loss, financial loss, and other losses sustained as a result of global lockdowns.

Many thanks to all those who commissioned works to make this album possible!
