Slow Rosary is a recording project by Rene Duplantier (‘I’ going forward).
I am an architect from New Orleans, Louisiana, currently located in Seattle, Washington.

affirmations:
long naps, thorough and thoughtful arrangements, getting back on the horse (figuratively), driving across the country, social media (conceptually), meeting someone one time only, recording old songs, first time using a reciprocal saw, the Puget Sound, defensive touchdowns, recognition of societal collapse, musubi, Anna Karenina (I like to call it just Anna K), two pets, my own marriage, three chord songs, tea, saying, "I don't know anything about that."

rejections:
airline travel, getting on a horse's back (literally), great people who make no music, estate sales, Starbursts, gear talk, gear, gear talk (2), assimilation, B flat chord, complaining about the homeless, USA, praying before sporting events, board fades (bored fades), that very low form of conversation where you just go back and forth pronouncing "caramel" and other words with multiple pronunciations

a few pull quotes:

Refinery captures the spirit of [Duplantier’s] early days, seeped in stark, stripped landscapes, thunderous industry, and Catholic surrealism. Together the band recasts Duplantier’s intimate existential reflections into ambitious soundscapes. - Under the Radar

This is musical escapism at its finest; it’s hand-crafted folk opus after opus, built to transport you somewhere entirely magical. - Austin Town Hall

The songs on “Free WiFi” are lush and captivating, with a bed of sounds lifting up Duplantier’s folk-like lyricism. The album’s lo-fi, home-recorded quality gives it the impression of stepping into a small, pretty church during the music portion of Sunday service — as the band plays songs about so-called Christian presidents calling for waterboarding. - Gambit / NOLA.com
