Beauty In Chaos has today premiered their new video for the track titled ‘Made Of Rain (Almost Acoustic)’, featuring The Awakening’s Ashton Nyte as well as Whitney Tai, from their latest album ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’, out now via 33.3 Music Collective.
With the unique addition of a laptop steel, a violin, and a somber setting that collectivizes everything and anything the song is and could ever be, the sheer originality of what Beauty In Chaos stands for is never more evident in this stripped-down and intimate take on an already established song.
The beauty in the chaos is the fact that ‘Made Of Rain (Almost Acoustic)’ is a new song, independent of the other ‘versions’ of the track. A new take on a feeling that quietly demands the attention it attracts. The sparring and jarring duet of Whitney Tai’s and Ashton Nyte’s contrasting, and even contradicting, at times, vocals creates a beautifully crafted and mesmerizing harmony that gives an emotional concept to the lyrics and a muse within the meaning.
The video, directed by Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films), gives the song a visual style that encapsulates the nuances within the track and, while keeping it a simple performance, visualizes the very atmosphere that the song creates.

About ‘Made Of Rain (Almost Acoustic)’
The ever-evolving, always revolving, worldwide entity known as Beauty In Chaos has just released their newest video/single from their recent re-envision release ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’. The “Made Of Rain (Almost Acoustic Version)” features BIC alumni Ashton Nyte and Whitney Tai. This rendition is a delicate and emotional take on the song’s original version, which is the closing track on ‘Dancing With Angels’.
BIC’s curator, Michael Ciravolo, states, “I absolutely love that we are able to create these ‘stripped-down’ versions of some of our songs, and more so, just how well these are received by our loyal BIC Family! The original version is very special and is probably my favorite song on ‘Dancing With Angels’, but there is also something really beautiful about this ‘almost acoustic’ version. Ashton and Whitney’s ‘duet’ is simply stunning, with their voices complementing each other. I love the track’s minimalistic approach, highlighted by Michael Rozon’s haunting pedal steel and BIC newcomer Heather Lockie’s tasteful violin. Tish’s rock-solid acoustic bass and my quasi-pink Floyd-inspired guitar lines support, without distracting, letting Ashton’s words and melody take the starring role!”
Ashton Nyte, who is set to embark on a European tour in support of his new Awakening self-titled release, adds, “’Made Of Rain’ is a song of hope. It is about getting up and trying again despite the scars life can leave. This “almost acoustic version” is very dear to me. I love theorganic elements present: the pedal steel, violin, and, of course, Whitney Tai’s beautiful, ethereal voice elevate this piece, makingit something transcendental. Similarly, the video shoot was an almost spiritual experience. A celebration of friends and art. What more can you ask for?”
Whitney Tai, who has leant her amazing voice to many BIC tracks, including “Orion”, and will release ‘American Wasteland’, her third full length album in September, reveals “Made Of Rain” is a warm amber glow in a velveteen speakeasy where tales of folk and longing send a message from the beyond. There’s a wisdom and a patience in Ashton’s voice. His lyrics swarmed in the magic of Beauty In Chaos’ production for the acoustic version hits differently. Doing this duet with Ashton is a dream; he is someone with the vocal tenacity of the wisest tree in the forest. Together, it felt like we planted wildflowers in a gentle field. What made this collab special for me, apart from the music, is the friendship that both Michael, Ashton, and I share. We are family, and making art with feeling is at the forefront of our passions”.
Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films) was again enlisted to film and direct this new video. Ciravolo says “As always, we strive to make the new video drastically different from its predecessor, and the simple ‘lounge’ setting seemed fitting for this intimate track, certainly a polar opposite to the bombastic sonic and visual overload of “Hollow”, and as usual, Vicente helped bring this vision to life!”
