(Track #1 on E=m_otion)

We all have them. Much of our “lives” revolve around them. Many of us never reach our full potential because of them. Some of us suffer greatly at the hands of them.

Take a moment to examine the rituals that permeate your life. Have you ever thought to ask yourself why you follow a prescribed set of guidelines for living?

Have you ever questioned what was taught to you by your parents?

…your church?

…the government?

Ritual is about breaking free.

It is about rising above the oppressive nature of our ritualistic and programmed lives. It is about looking inward for answers and living life based on your own truths.

Ritual is about you.

E=M_otion (Title)

My latest album is a collection of songs primarily about consciousness and the human condition, about life, about feeling, energy, motion, and of course, emotion. A fun little play on words, yes… but there’s more.

Einstein

The obvious play on Einstein’s E=mc² equation detailing the relationship between energy and mass is an idea that came to me when I was sitting in Cafe Louvre in Prague, a place that Einstein himself frequented during his stay in Prague (thanks for the idea, Albert!)

But something was wrong with his equation (at least in my eyes) because I’ve tried very hard to break through limitations in my music. The universal constant “c” represents the speed of light in a vacuum, and is widely accepted by the scientific community as the fastest anything can travel in our universe. But I’m asking: why subject ourselves to this limitation? Recent studies in quantum physics suggest that thought and emotion travel instantaneously–that is, they are not bound by this constant. Since what makes me “me” more than anything are my thoughts and emotions, neither am I.

So, I don’t need it.

E=m_otion

In my equation, Energy = motion. I’m talking about Source Energy. I’m talking about Motion within ourselves. We need to keep moving, evolving, and progressing to survive. If we stop moving, we have no Energy. My songs are about Motion and our own internal evolution. Every song on this album expresses a universal concept of humanity and what it means to be alive and conscious. Every song is a story of change and progress. Every song is about perpetual feeling, energy and movement.
