Project Revelation was first conceived by Daniel, in 1985, at the age of 19. Though it wasn't officially born until ten years later (1995) at the age of 29, when the project was legitimately launched with the undertaking of recording his debut CD entitled Awakening which is the first in a series debut trilogy. Revelation is a unique expression and was formed to engage in sonic explorations of inner and outer space phenomena and describe these phenomena in both musical, lyrical and visual terms. Utilizing both acoustic and electronic instruments as tools of exploration it also represents the past, present and future. Life as we know it now here on earth and other life in the eternal cosmos, and an in-depth outlook on the conscious and subconscious mind and the human condition of present day reality.

The first aim of Visionaryquest Music is to create a vehicle to bring forward into the world and to manufacture/distribute and promote the original music of (sound animator) Daniel Todd Carter who would otherwise be unable to do so under conditions detrimental to the music and or musicians.

The second aim of Visionaryquest Music is to function freely and exist openly in the market place of business while remaining neutral of its principals.

The third aim of Visionaryquest Music is to seek out and find its audience/following.

The fourth aim of Visionaryquest Music is to achieve the personal goals which would create an honest successful, legal and profitable enterprise for all parties involved.

The fifth aim of Visionaryquest Music is to be a true representation of moral business practices in an industry founded on manipulation, influenced by deception, infected with theft and driven with greed. Visionaryquest Music is a small, global D. I. Y. label, that was created to have an outlet to release/distribute and promote the original products of (Sound Animator) Daniel Todd Carter which under current conditions would not have the opportunity to do so simply because no one else is interested. A true interest evolved into a situation where a desire to succeed in the music industry was commonplace with the need to provide the public with either what it wants or what it needs. In this perspective the public can also do business with a small company which aims to be true, and its main interest is making these products available to the general masses, and to find its audience/following. The personal view of Visionaryquest Music and the Spacing Guild is that business practices within the music industry can be manipulative and deceitful, which can in turn detriment the creative integrity of the artist(s) involved of the benefit of their work, which is wrong, unjustifiable and a threat to natural justice and the truth itself. Any organization whose artist(s) are directed or controlled by commercial interests is not to be trusted. The history of the music industry is a history of exploitation and theft.
