about

Happy New Year, my friends. Here is my first musical offering for 2021; something designed to lighten our moods and lift our spirits; but not without a hint of reflective seasoning concerning January’s sad events. Needless to say, this has been another rough liner note to write.

My goal has always been to find the positive in any situation. I want to be a voice of love and compassion, and joy and laughter (and all sorts of other ‘good for you’ things). And I figure even the roughest situations can create the most polished of diamonds. But after the assault on our US Capital building last week (and the threats of more to come)… I’m still numb from the shock.

I know it’s hard to see this as a good thing, but at least one hopeful scenario has come from all of this; awareness of the situation. It’s like a car that thankfully misbehaves in front of the mechanic, so the problem can be diagnosed. The entire world has now been shown the faltering condition of our US engine; and the dangers of letting it remain unrepaired. We also now know the problem runs deep through the veins of our society. And it has been there for a very long time. We have a much better idea of how far we’ve fallen. And that is a positive.

While a part of me wants to rant about recent events for my entire post (lets face it; this noise is at ‘all-you-can-eat buffet’ levels right now), I feel it might be wiser to return to my original goal of being a positive voice… and share something that might help all of us right now.

Years ago, I discovered a wonderful little story (which I’ve shared a few times in my posts and blogs; so forgive me if you already know this one). I’m not really sharing it as an anesthetic to what is happening. I’m sharing it because it is a great set of bifocals for helping us process how we are reacting to it.

As the story goes, a teacher and his pupil were traveling down the winding road back to the monastery. The pupil was clearly lost in thought; struggling to better understand his conflicting emotions, love and fear. He turned to the teacher and asked ‘How do I know what is inside my heart; which of these energies is strongest?’

The wise, old man stopped and said to the pupil “The conflict inside you is like two wolves; the wolf of love and the wolf of fear.”

“But how do I know which is strongest?” Asked the pupil.

“Well, which do you feed the most?” Replied the teacher.

That’s one of my favorite little ‘brain morsel’ discoveries that is helping me keep my mind and heart open. And it’s something both sides of this conflict could really use right now, as a glue for reimagining our country in a better light. Make no mistake… the mess we’re in is quite real. But the solution will not be found in fear. Like Einstein once said. “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them”. Stay strong and positive for each other, my friends. We are the Vox Populi. And if this can be done with love, we will rise out of this darkness. I hope you enjoy my latest musical creation. :)

Welcome to my sonic playground. I don't consider myself a skilled musician. I just sculpt sounds to quiet my mind... and often end up pleasantly surprised. I'm all about joy, and silliness, and staying playful as I (refuse to) grow older. My songs help me remember that. :)

Thank you for taking the time to listen and share in my journey. Best wishes and all my love.

This 3rd installment of Belial Pelegrim’s TAFFATA project is once again filled to the brim in audio imagination and texture. It is my favorite so far, and definitely one of my top albums of the year. BP utilizes organic, symphonic, electronic, and experimental sounds with such craftsmanship that the listener is just left in awe on the most sublime of audio journeys. This is music made by someone having fun with all the sounds at his disposal, and his fun is a gift for us. Mood Exhibit

Once, in many moons, an album reaches down inside you and drags your soul on a quest to darker shores. This is that album! Seconds in, I was hooked. I have heard nothing like this album before. A landscape of dark tapestries woven out the night itself, dusted with unfamiliar sonic shapes and colours that hypnotise and captivate; that bewitch and beguile! Thankyou Belial Pelegrim!
