Night Worship is the drone metal project of Scott Siler and Ryan Jobes. Ryan Jobes is a composer, and multi-instrumentalist currently living in Oakland. Ryan composes acoustic and electronic music in alternate tuning systems, traditional and nontraditional works for Gamelan, and transcendent folk music through black metal.





The Cloudknitters Suite is inspired by the images and writings produced by Belgian artist Leo Reijnders. "In his ongoing series, (over 200 works and counting ) of figurative narrative paintings, Leo Reijnders investigates issues of desire .While basing the work in the sub-conscious desires of the artist, they also seek to involve the viewer, by allowing enough undefined space to consider our own motivations and desires. Completed in one day , they represent "(day)-dreamscapes" where anything is possible. Using backgrounds that are most often represented by a simple horizon line, establishes only " space " and " place" leaving their exact location undefined.The scenes depicted could be taking place in the desert, on the moon or more likely , in the mind. Dislocating the "place" allows for a multitude of associations and interpretations, depending on the viewers "space".

Luke Schwartz is a composer, guitarist and music theorist currently residing in New York City whose diverse musical interests have lead him to pursue a wide range of activity in the field. In 2005, he received recognition from Reindeer Records (Portland, ME), placing 1st as the "Best Young Guitarist in Central Florida", and his ensemble placed 1st in the competition. Schwartz is the founder of Quiet City - a NYC based contemporary classical/experimental music outfit that pairs prepared concert music with improvised music in innovative ways, including a mixture of graphic, traditional and alternative notations. Mr. Schwartz received a B.A in Music Theory and a M.M. in Music Composition from the University of South Florida.
