This is the cover for the "Imposition of Ashes" demo by my project Rainsparkz. How does Rainsparkz represent me? Well, I don't know exactly, but since I do everything in it, I have a feeling it represents me pretty much exactly the way I am. The sound is not very musical, concentrating mostly on atmosphere and rhythmic sounds, I suppose I would describe it as repetitive old style industrial / noise / ambient. My influences are older Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten, Blackhouse and the like.
Rainsparkz has no real fans except for my girlfriend. My mother and my sister claim to like it but they listen to about 15 seconds of each song then tell me it's really good and make me turn it off. Oh and there are a few girls who pretend to like it, my girlfriend says it's just because they would like anything done by a guy, but since I am hideously ugly i think they are just brain damaged or something. I took this photo at the Winchester mansion in San Jose California. I added the text using an extremely old version of Photoshop. The title is "The Imposition of Ashes" which is the name of the Christian practice of drawing a cross on ones forehead with ashes on Ash Wednesday. Following Ash Wednesday is Lent which is 40 days of fasting and preparing for Good Friday and then Easter. Lent is traditionally considered a rather 'dark' time of the Christian year but even during this dark time Christians know they have Easter / the resurrection of Christ to look forward to. Thus the light emanating from the window into an otherwise dark room. Unless of course you are of those who think "OMG I HATE CRISTINS ALL TEHY DO IS STERIOTYPE AND HATE EVRY1 AND NE MUSIC TEHY MAKE SUXXXXX!111!" If so just think of it as a creepy picture of a creepy window that goes along with creepy noisy music. Thanks.  I'm not sure what skill level you would want to put this under, I haven't done many of these things so I would say Beginner, but whatever you feel like.
