Tesseracts 101 / The New Quintuplet Swing
If you've ever wondered what hypercubes, aka tesseracts, are all about, then this is a good music video for you. If you have no idea what I'm talking about and you don't care for geometry, maybe you should watch this anyway, just to be weird and learn something new. The music incorporates quintuplets, i.e. notes divided into 5 beats. It's actually all in 4/4 at 150 bpm. Video: Tesseracts 101. Music: "The New Quintuplet Swing" (2021).
Tesseract Out / Funky Night
It's a rolling tesseract making its way through the clouds and across the stars, folks.
The Other Wheel (Space Beats Video)
It's a spinning, semi-transparent color wheel just making its way through space. That's what's up.
The music, "A Mix of the Best of Music for Art of the Other Wheel", was taken from songs originally commissioned for use as background entertainment at an art show titled "Art of the Other Wheel", which took place September 25th & 26th 2015 at The Pharmacy Gallery & Art Space in Springfield, Illinois. Those songs were remixed for this video.

Minstrel
by Bridget Foley Russell
Give me a song
I feel lost
Give me a song
I want to be transported
Give me a song
I can breathe
Give me a song
I am surrounded by silence
Give me a song
I need reassurance
Give me a song
I crave your touch
Give me a song
I am complete
Give me a song
I am home.
Scary Dance Music (Video Album)
This is a playlist of videos I made in 2018 using a ton of crazy public domain stuff I found. These were commissioned for and projected at the 2018 Dark Arts show, which was currated by Staunzie Grady and took place at Arlignton's Restaurant in Springfield, Illinois.
Electro-Faustus EF102 Photo Theremin running through wah-wah pedal. Visualization by Rovastar+Geiss (Snapshot Of Space [LSB mix]). This song made it onto the 2014 Just Sign on the Dotted Line various artists compilation CD put out by Electro-Faustus.
Real Dinosaur Sounds
I went back in time 150 million years and recorded this with binaural microphones. Two sauropods are talking to each other across a lake while many other dinosaurs occasionally call out. Three at once start out the recording. Listen with headphones to get the full effect.

The Wrath of Genesis Part 1 - The Reliant
It's not completely lifeless. That's all. Cheap, I know. (If this is blocked for you, it's not my bad.)
Light of the Sacral Cave
In silent form, this video was used in a projector installation during a show of women’s fabric art. The show, titled Draw Near, featured the works of two artists (Wendy Allen and Carol Bridges) as well as a sacred space by artist Chery Miller. The show took place April 22nd and 23rd, 2016 at The Pharmacy Gallery & Art Space in Springfield, Illinois. The audio in this video was also commissioned for the show. It was played in the background during the event along with other long passages of ambient music. Thus, this video is a sort of "best of" Draw Near.

Matter of Information
This began as gift for my brother in 2009; I gave it to him then as a short screen saver for his PC. The animation you see here was produced in 2014, partly using Starry Night Pro 6. Song title: "Lives of the Bloated Gas Giant Suns" (2007). The scene is actually what it would sort of be like to stand on Triton and watch Neptune in the sky--sped up over the course of two months Earth-time, of course.
