about

Therefore : Soul - Surface Tension - Copyright 2005

lyrics

WHEREAS : I am a firm believer in the oral transmission, and the intimate sharing of stories songs and knowledge despite the fact that I grew up in a culture surrounded by books, LPs and CDs, where you can listen to the same song a hunred times over.

WHEREAS : The technology of the times dictates the transmission.

WHEREAS : It is the responsibility of artists to contribute to the evolution of their society by reminding people of their soul and their own inherent creativity, potential and power.

WHEREAS : The Flaccid Lifelessness of soul-less non-awake humans is destroying life on this planet at an insane rate, the way orcs destroy trees.

WHEREAS : Soul-less non-awake people cannot be forced into soulful wakefulness, they must be seduced into it by beauty and come of it of their own free will because love is so beautiful.

WHEREAS : Duplicating CDs and selling thousands of CDs puts people on a celebrity pedestal and creates separation from other humans and hierarchy of beauty.

WHEREAS : I am a human and want to be respected as another human being with feelings and a mind!

WHEREAS : People put pressure on their favorite performer to perform the same songs over and over and over the same way again they sounded on their albums which they listened to 200 times.

WHEREAS : Songs are highly spontaneous and change every moment, are never the same way twice, and can express multiple levels of emotion.

WHEREAS : If it weren't for non-oral-tradition I would not be aware of pygmy water music, Nina Simone or Hakim Bey, and they have all influenced me and changed my life.

WHEREAS : It is crucial for me now to record an album that can reach souls further than my intimate body and eyes can reach in order to have a positive effect on souls in America and beyond.

WHEREAS : I am recording this album with the intention that one day such materialistic innovations will be obselete.

WHEREAS : The Master's Tools will Not Dismantle The Master's House.

THEREFORE : WE MUST build new houses with new tools, built by people who want to change the house because the new house is so much more beautiful and soul fulfilling.

THEREFORE : One day we won't need to record our music because everyone will be so awake and creative that we will all come together and sing joyeously in intimate gatherings and we will all be beautiful, and we will all worship in what we share together.
