What Is Red Death?:The Red Death is actually a poetic reference to Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Masque of the Red Death.†I chose the Red Death as the name of my production company because of the stories many underlying meanings, as well as the moral, social, religious, and political issues that are personified within it, not to mention it‘s dark and ominous setting. The story also holds a great deal of relevance to myself as an artist, as well as my music. In short, the story is about Prince Prospero, who seals himself and a thousand of his wealthiest friends into a castle in order to protect them from a deadly plague, known only as the Red Death, that has been killing thousands of people in the country. But when the Prince and all his guest throw an extravagant costume ball in order to distract themselves from the suffering and death outside their walls, the Red Death, disguised as a costumed guest, enters and claims the lives of everyone present. The story ultimately explores the themes of human beings fear of death, sin, madness, and the end of the world. As a human being, the nature of death is one of finality and inevitability. As an artist, it is my desire to create music that will, in it’s own way defy death stand the test of time. And so the Red Death is born, not to signify an end, but merely to perpetuate the notion that though we may one day expire, it is our art that survives.
