Performances
* Nothing is scheduled at the moment. Make me an offer. Will work for absinthe.
Show Archive
* Here is an archiveof shows since 2004. Enjoy it in good health.
Apocalypse Within Releases
* Jan 2008: I made an album to commemorate the life of my mother, who died on Dec 25, 2007. It is called "Life of the Progenitress." It is free to download, but if you wish to purchase a pressed copy for $10, all proceeds will go to the National MS Society and/or the Pancreatic Cancer Society.
* Nov 2007: I have factory-pressed copies of "Conversations with a Child in the Forest" available from Apocalypse Within, for the low, low price of $10/each (plus shipping if needed).
* I have some hand-pressed copies of "Three Short Treatises on Lycanthropy" available for sale. It is slated to be the next album formally pressed on Apocalyse Within.
* In 2004, Preston Gelberwolf founded a record label for Wyrd gothic folk music, called "Apocalypse Within."
* There are a total of two artists on the label right now. The other is Sage Warren's project, "All Alone." A draft of her album is here.
Nemo Dog Music in the Works
* Most recent unreleased music can be found here.
* There are four albums on the table, but that doesn't necessarily mean those will be the next four to be finished. I am a free and aimless wanderer.
* I'm working on finishing recording for "Isa Runestave," which represents my work and state of mind from 2006. Most of the 2006 MP3s available on the New Music page are expected to go onto "Isa Runestave." The Isa Rune is representative of ice. It as about a lack of progress, being frozen in place, and having to wait until conditions are better, before proceeding forward.
* The other three albums are a trilogy, which has been composed, but not recorded yet. It will be a thematic musical essay, not unlike "Three Short Treatises on Lycanthropy."
* But, instead of an exhausting 80 minute tome, it will be released as three actual separate CDs.
* The theme will be on Separation: the sacred act of separating the unique Consciousness from that of the natural Universe.
* Albums will be:
1. Separation from the Monolith (27 tracks, ~60 min.)
2. Separation from Humanity (18 tracks, ~60 min.)
3. Separation from Persona (9 tracks, ~60 min.)
Other Gothic Folk Events in Southern California
* "Apocalypse Within Jam Session"
Monthly full Moon psychedelic folk jam session/drum circle/Romanesque blood orgy (time permitting)
Every full Moon, from 7PM-10PM
Cost: Free.
In the east San Fernando Valley (Van Nuys or equivalent)
Message me for tortuously cryptic directions that ultimately lead only to disappointment and broken dreams.
That way I can feast on your tears.
Yes, it is free, BUT you must pay with your sincerity (a very scarce resource in this poisonous cultural wasteland of Los Angeles).
No musical experience or skill is required.
It is an oasis of self-expression, communal-expression, and exploration.
DON'T PANIC!
Nobody is laughing at you!
The great thing about psychedelic folk is you can pretend you MEANT to make that horrible screeching noise.
Just come and/or jam and/or listen and/or drink absinthe and/or bring absinthe for me to drink (hint, hint, hint...).
Bring instruments if you have them.
If not, DON'T PANIC, I have plenty.
PLENTY.
Here is a link to some music from the first jam session (lunar eclipse on the Full Snow Moon, 20080220):
