Creating Chaos

I enjoy doing performances even if only for myself. It's my escape from the world. As an outsider it gives me a chance to tell my ideas and create something unique.

Here's a pic of the original "Tour Of Chaos" set list -VHS

The 2015 version is shorter and contains a better set list each containing a link to the next track on vimeo.

The video title plays a spin off to the debut album "Circle Of Chaos" which hosts a picture of a tree sprouting garbage from it's branches instead of leaves. Marking the resemblance of a contaminated world where the soil is littered creating the circle of life uprooted into chaos. 

It's portrayal depicts the symbolism of recycling as the obscure subliminal of all Scrap Rabbit videos. Ironically I requested a girl in a garbage can letter to star in one not knowing she was married resulted in getting dislikes and the authority being called on me. The opening line in the album "What tis magical Fear? Glimpse inside of a rabbit can." represents that symbolism in a way.



Thus the concept of the first album may have missed it's focal point along the way. When scaled back it is better found.

It's on the second album "Rabid Remixes" where you find that the can on the cover of the first album is the home to the Scrap Rabbit on the cover of the second. Which ties the relation between them as the first 2 collectibles in the series. 


The Energy Storm cover portrays the rabbit's master standing in the fog creating storms to fight the chaos thus withering upon the crop of the following album "Put Out To Pasture" which the image is a reaper of the night standing in a cornfield acting as a scarecrow waiting to begin it's ritual. Which is the entire orchestration of the album. Conjuring up various ghouls and monsters for the next album "Haunted Halloween Hits. " The idea of this reality portrays the image of "the mowing devil" on the Rabid Remixes II cover where it incites the tale of harvesting decay and crop circles. And finally the chapter is concluded with "The Dissembler" which sums up various parts of the first 6 albums as a "hits" collection connecting the dots with a few new songs added.
