	A Voyage to Arcturus ~ By David Lindsay - Rafi Simcha Curate note: Audio Books & Poetry "A Voyage to Arcturus" has been described as a Science Fiction version of "Pilgrim's Progress:" a journey through a land of metaphorical landscapes, and encounters with personifications of various moral qualities. Published in 1920, it is among some of the earliest true Sci-Fi Fantasy, and rivals all that has come since. Maskull, the story's hero, travels from 19th century England to a planet orbiting the star Arcturus, where he grows extra limbs and eyes, and m...

	The Woman of Valor - Rafi Simcha Curate note: Live music archive. The sound quality on this is HORRIBLE, but the beauty of it still brings tears to my eyes. This was recorded in a lush mountain meadow, in the kitchen at Jerusalem camp, with about 30 people singing along, banging on djembes, congas, and cooking pots. I recorded it as I came from a long distance - meaning that it was audible from as much as a mile away. At the Rainbow Gathering, there are several square miles of people camping, with theme camps everywhere...

	Four World Meditation - Rafi Simcha Curate note: Religion and Spirituality.

It includes quotes from William Blake, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Tao te Ching, Aldous Huxley, Navajo Blessingway rites, and the Prophet Ezekiel.

	Hod v'Hadar L'Fanav - Kirtan Style - Rafi Simcha Curate note: Judaic content. This is an experimental rendition of 1 Chronicles 16:27-30. I'm sure it could be much better, but this is the best I could do all by myself on the computer layering wave files of my own voice and instruments... I visualize this being done as a kirtan - there are only two verses [these are part of the daily prayer service] and people could easily learn it. If you are coming to one of the kirtans, we will be doing this one among others... Keywords: hodu davening shacharit p'suki d'zimra Torah kirtan Downloads: 64
	Katchaturian Toccata E Flat Major - Rafi Simcha Curate note: Music & Arts.

	Ovid ~ Metamorphoses ~ 08-2008 - Rafi Simcha Curate note: Audio Books & Poetry. In his 'Metamorphoses,' Ovid weaves a rich tapestry of images from nature and imagination, one story blending into the next and frequently referencing earlier or later episodes. Drawn from Greek mythology and Latin folklore, Ovid's common theme is transformation. This selection is approximately 10% of the entire work, and is about four and a half hours of listening...

	Please Come to a White Courtesy Telephone - Rafi Simcha "Ambient" and "Humor" don't often go together - and whether or not this is humorous will be strictly in the ears of the listeners. The only names in the list that are not real people's names are Sneed Hern, Cleopatra Pepperdecker, and Cletus and Lurleen Plunk - names used by W.C. Fields and the Simpsons that I couldn't pass up. Many of the other names are from various books of collections of unusual names, and many others are people I have actually known...

	Gertrude Stein, Gradually - Rafi Simcha Curate note: Audio Books & Poetry. Gertrude Stein was the gravitational center of the bohemian art-scene in Paris from around 1907 to 1913. Not herself a graphic artist, her art took the form of jarringly experimental writing, and her social influence outshone her recognition as a writer until much later. The "Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas" excerpts sound like familiar story-telling, while the other pieces are adaptations of Stein's experimental-language writings, and are near-hallucinatory a...

	Shir ha Shirim - the Song of Solomon - Rafi Simcha Curate note: Judaic content. The "Song of Songs" is at first glance, a love poem. But it is a love poem that constantly shifts between genders, mixing male and female in a way that liberates it from one side or the other. On a deeper level, the lush poetic imagery uses ideas and terminology all taken from the Torah: "your hair is fragrant" like various ingredients of the temple incense; your thighs are sturdy like the towers of the temple; your countenance is like the walls of Jerusalem...

Some parts of the Sunday davening are read in English, and those sections are rendered here in Hebrew by Rafi alone.
