Music

Original songwriting, chamber music, vocal music and opera.

Cult of Orpheus

An independent music publishing and production company, Cult of Orpheus carries the vocal music, chamber music and opera compositions by C. A. Corbell.

The company has published two full-length recordings of Corbell’s music, both available on Bandcamp: Sacred Works I: The Emerald Tablet and Viva’s Holiday: An Opera in One Act.

Raven Fables

The musical spells of Raven Fables are rooted in forest and folklore, haunted by ghost stories and mystic rituals, spinning exquisite dark ballads which entangle lyrical impulses and neo-classical harmonies like vine-shrouded ruins.

Songs

More have been set free than captured, but here are a few:

Sage and Lavender (single)

Field (single)

Star Like a Swallow (EP)

Writing

Poems, essays, and more underway.

I song lyrics, poetry, essays, and I occasionally try to write fiction. The Dayword blog offers reflections of poetic devotion and cultural attention.

My first full-length poetry book Athenalogia has been hand-bound in an extremely limited first edition, some copies still available! It’s the first poetry published under Cult of Orpheus Press.

Art

I’m learning art, so nothing to share here, but I’m drawn to pen and ink, charcoal, and graphite creations in symbolist and fantasy realms.

Technology

Software creations, generative art, and mathematical investigations.

Full-time endeavor: Vectorworks, 3-D design software for architecture, entertainment, and industrial desgin. Contributions range from Mac OS UI implementation to build-and-release infrastructure.

Mathematical art software: MathPaint, a solo project written in the Swift programming language, for Mac OS. “What beauty will you generate?”

Graph theory: Graphoire is an open-source python project for graph theory explorations and algorithms.
