about

"My Great Aunt Coleslaw is a very important spirit on this planet. She was a part of my family and helped raise me with my mother and Uncle Radcliffe.  But truth be told, there are hundreds of other people who have lived through her many lifetimes who also call her family. She spent hundreds of years on this Earth documenting her personal poetic truth of this world in poetry, prose, and lyrical interpretation. I consider it an honor to read her poetry behind the one of a kind instrument Maya Board, which was constructed with her schematics and is used exclusively on Chapter I. "

The music and lyrics on The Book of Slaw: Songs from My Great Aunt Coleslaw (Chapter I) were composed by Great Aunt Coleslaw. Thankful for Elk Minister's companion Gerald, he is able to communicate with Great Aunt Coleslaw and her spirit where her consciousness is trapped, the year 3144 A.D.


The Book of Slaw: Songs From My Great Aunt Coleslaw is a year long project dedicated to the life of Elk Minister’s Great Aunt Coleslaw. The 26 albums will be released every two weeks in 2018, now dubbed The Year of The Elk. The release schedule follows a strict 28 day, 13 month calendar based around the 13 zodiac signs. This calendar, like all the music and lyrics on The Book of Slaw was created by Great Aunt Coleslaw when she studied with Pythagoras of Samos.
