Wunderzeit!

A Double EP is being released by Daniel's long-time musical collaboration, Writ on Water, today.
I might add that today just happens to be the anniversary of the day that Daniel and I met, and it is my patronal (St. Katherine's Day) so it is a special day for us on many, many levels.

I continue to be amazed by the accomplishments of the man I have been fortunate enough to share the last seven years with, and I am grateful to get to see on a daily basis what so many people don't: that he has incredible talents that largely remain hidden under a bushel because of his failure to mention these things to anyone. So, while he won't crow about this latest accomplishment... I will!

For the uninitiated, Writ on Water's music is informed by a Christian worldview, but it appeals to a broad audience. Listeners trying to put it in a genre may label it with terms like "shoegaze," "post-punk," "space rock," "experimental" and "darkwave" (terms which I confess not to understand, but pass on for those of you who may). Don't let the words scare you... the music itself is a peaceful, yet energetic, tapestry of sound infused with a great deal of love.
The private "release party", a.k.a. Thanksgiving dinner at our house for the two of us and Jeff (the voice and main creative force of Writ on Water) and his uber-lovely wife, Heather, will be held on Thursday.

I would invite any of you who may be wish to experience Writ on Water's musical output to visit the links at the beginning of this post.
