For The Dirge DēLIGHT’s EP release 3’s, Eddy Jo Martinez, guitarist extraordinaire, composed a trilogy – Lamentillennia, Down the Rabbit Hole (Overture of Threes) and Ascension – reflecting his vision of humanity’s struggle and evolution toward harmony.

He’s working with three different artists to make the relevant videos, including yours truly, who created the visuals for Ascension in collaboration with Tom Burnett, who set my artwork in motion. Now ready for its preview, here’s the link! https://vimeo.com/catherinerutgers/ascensionbythedirgedelight?share=copy

Ascension is an exhilarating, beautiful song (with seriously sweet guitar licks) that I simply love listening to over and over. For the video, I made one-hundred-and-forty-nine all-original images. Ten of them appear in this post. Music up!

01 Open Ascension, 02 Water Paper Five, 03 Looking Over, 04 Fallout Shelter, 05 Inner Vision, 06 Single Branch Motion, 07 Joy Light Two, 08 Increased Intensity (Ailanthus), 09 Violet Beyond, 10 The Climax Chord • Original art for original music. © Catherine Rutgers 2024
