I wish there was a way to tell the story of this song's creation without losing myself.  I just love the world it is and don't really have anything to say... yet.  I look forward to sharing its story someday.  Thanks to everyone who has made this song such a thematic statement.  I really do appreciate all of the wonderful comments I've received since I wrote it.

"The Riddle" is from my 2004 release "The Elucidation of Sorrow," and is available at: http://randomrab.com/sounds/albums/the-elucidation-of-sorrow/

Random Rab - The Riddle

The Story:
This album has changed my life. I wrote these songs over the last several years and really lost myself in its creation. I went to all extents to create something that sounded perfect. Something that would allow me to die in peace upon its creation. In certain cicumstances, I felt as though a force were writing the songs through me or that the songs were already written and I was merely a conduit. I feel as though these tracks are more like the story of my souls journey through the cosmos than an expression of my life.

The Sound:
I've been playing dancefloors for years. I decided to make an album, though, which combined what I learned from bootyshakin beats with the understanding that the CD would also be played in cars, bedrooms, dorms, walkmans, and wherever destiny lead it. It's really a concept album that bridges electronic genres such as Trip-Hop, Breaks, and Drum and Bass with more song/lyric-based elements and ethnic mobility.

My friend, Rigzin, joined me on track 9, HymnalAYA, and sang some of the most beautiful Tibetan chant I've ever heard. This song still has the power to bring tears to my eyes if I'm not careful. Other than that, all of the vocals are mine.

The Artwork:
The artist Darrah Danielle has been my creatrix for two albums now and this is one of her finest works. I often tell people that one of the most important reasons to buy the album is to own the exquisite original collage work. We worked together intimately on this project and a simultaneous vision emerged. I cannot express the gratitude I have for Darrah's creation and its inspiration for the music born of its divine incarnation.

I met Katie via a friend and we only knew each others music from afar. We wrote a few emails and I sent her the music. Katie’s voice is unmistakable and to work with her was an honor. When I got the vocals back from her, I was blown away. 

Director Ivan Landau made a video for this track below. Please check it out at: http://vimeo.com/8566554

Apparently (words by Katie Gray and Random Rab)

The fate to lose
and forge ahead..
through the burden,
through the death.

The howling
and humble hearts..
know the answers,
find the rest.

Apparently a crystal sea
winds into my hands.
But when I breath,
all I see
melts into the sand

So I'll be letting go now.
