about

Audio Illustrator is pleased to present, "Prophets of the Blues".

This concept album was inspired by the multitude of God's prophets and their lives recorded though out the Bible.

The call of the prophet to deliver God's message to it's intended audience was a difficult life to bear and usually ended up in frustration and sadness for the prophet. In many cases their audience did not want to hear the truth but would rather believe in falsehood which was more comforting to their ears.

Jeremiah 5:
12"They have lied about the LORD
And said, “Not He;
Misfortune will not come on us,
And we will not see sword or famine.

13 The prophets are as wind,
And the word is not in them.
Thus it will be done to them!”

"The prophets are as the wind" declared in this passage gave me the idea to use wind to weave and unify these musical pieces together as a theme for this album. I also chose to use other aspects of nature such as a passing thunder storm in "Blues of the Prophet" to portray the inner turmoil within the prophet.

Jeremiah 20:
"...I have become a laughingstock all day long;
Everyone mocks me.

8For each time I speak, I cry aloud;
I proclaim violence and destruction,
Because for me the word of the LORD has resulted
In reproach and derision all day long.

9But if I say, “I will not remember Him
Or speak anymore in His name,”
Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
And I am weary of holding it in,
And I cannot endure it."

In addition, the use of crickets chirping in "Blues of the Prophet" testifies to the lack of audience for many of the prophets...no one listened...and no one came to their gigs.

I hope you enjoy my sonic vision that God gave me to share with you of those who saw their visions that God gave them to share with their audience.
