I'm back and it's been a few years.

Philosopher & Fool is my new hybrid music and art project, and hopefully it will sponser many others as well. I plan to post some preview loops here, but all music can be found..everywhere!

Please follow Philosopher & Fool on Spotify (especially), or iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, etc.

We also have an official instagram and facebook by the same name.

Many thanks to everyone for helping us get off the ground.

I can't even put into words how happy this has made me; like everything I work for is slowly getting recognized. Thank you so much for the support and the criticism and helping me develop better techniques.
Happy New Year.

So glad it's coming, and New Years.
I need a fresh start and a clean slate.
This year has been too much.

Got some new ideas and some new instruments to work with, so I definitely plan to compose a true orchestra piece in early 2011 which should be dark and dramatic.

Best of luck to everyone this holiday. Have fun, stay save, and as always -- REVIEW MY SONGS! lmfao I'll always return the favor.
God Bless. <3

--Christian, The Silent Rapture.

I've been around the site more, leaving reviews and such and started participating in the forums for the first time.
It's been actually helping--I've gotten 4 reviews in 2 days, which has never happened before.
At first I was worried about how it would affect y scores, perhaps bring negative attention to them, but it seems to be doing much more good than expected.

Thanks to everyone who has been listening and commenting anywhere, you have my extended thanks.
Making music is fun but it's just not the same when it's unshared. Glad that it's making its way around to new ears. ^__^

[Christian, TSR Audio]

Yes, we do have some order! I've figured out what I'm doing.

I'm using my Newgrounds account as a home for my instrumentals.
I'm using my Youtube account as a home for songs with vocals.

^____^ Even though NG stresses me out sometimes with the fact that nobody reviews anymore and i get the occasional ZERO BOMB for no reason (I know my songs might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's nothing so shittily made it deserves a zero. -_-)

But I enjoy it here. Something about it keeps me coming back, and it's not just the hentai games.

So I'll put my music here as well too. I realize nobody is really listening anymore so this is more of a "doing it for me" kind of thing. I'm pleased with my current level of composition skill and I also wish to improve so not getting plays no longer bothers me. Still, if you enjoy, that doesn't mean i wouldnt like to know. please. <3

The Silent Rapture Youtube Channel

If you liked anything you heard from my solo project The Silent Rapture on Newgrounds, please check the new channel. All future music will be posted to youtube. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on Newgrounds, I intend to leave up all of these songs for free download in appreciation.

Happy New Year everyone. ^___^

I hope this year is really my year for this music thing. I'm looking for that recognition that seems so elusive. I think I have some really cool new ideas in store, a lot of genre blends and I think the list of songs I keep on Newgrounds is a diverse display of some of my abilities. Featured artist? Best of the week? I'll keep trying. Ive been feeling very Neo-Classical lately, thus the two last pieces. But Im not done rapping either, and I'm gonna take a stab at rock again soon, tho I have no idea how heavy yet.
Just stick around and I'll make it interesting.

Best wishes for everyone.

One day... I will be popular enough that people will actually read these and comment. xD
But in the meantime, I'll let my 4 readers know what I'm up to!

I plan on making some new music soon, once I fall back into my school schedule and find a job.
I just turned 19, so I know I'll be very busy but this is one of my passions and I will find time for it.
I am also writing a story in my spare time, as I am an English major and love writing, and it is a horror/dark comedy about a worn out cop who has found youth again through a particularly interesting murder mystery. I'll post a link up here if I ever finish it, I'm on chapter 6 right now, about 50 pages.

Well, thanks to anyone who reads, and thanks to everyone who has helped promote my music and help make it a success. I deeply appreciate all the feedback I receive, and it continues to be inspiring.

Thank you to everyone who has helped with voting high and giving me positive or constructive criticism. I very much appreciate signing in and seeing my song scores rise and get reviewed, and its an inspiration for me to keep being passionate about my music and newgrounds as well. This site will remain the only updated page for the Silent Rapture project, replacing the myspace, and I plan to make some more music in August upon my return from a vacation in beautiful Brazil.

Thank you for the listens, votes, and downloads.
Peace, love, and happiness.

~Christian
