How deep and far do we have to look for magic in our modern world? Where does the Shaman dwell in our world of Satellite TV and Cell Phones? Have we lost our sense of wonder and traded it for the Internet, bar codes and databases? Did we leave our sense of responsibility for our fellow man and our integrity under a rock somewhere while trading our Mantras and Prayers for the toggling of Zeros and Ones in the digital age?? I hope not!! For these things are the very fluid enveloping the Human Soul, the life’s blood of the human spirit, the wellspring of all our dreams and aspirations.
Technology and modern science have given us so much to make our lives easier. Our children no longer need to remain ignorant in their interests when the accumulated knowledge of mankind is a few keystrokes away via the ‘Net. New and improved manufacturing and distribution networks make the tools of humankind cheaper and easier to obtain daily. Communication has turned all of humankind into one global village in so many respects. There is a fear that we have traded our most basic human needs for this wonder of modern life, that we’ve freely bartered away all of the magic, wonder and integrity for a “new” Tower of Babel.
Occam’s Razor states that the simplest explanation of a puzzle is most likely the best one. The magic we seek is within us all, in the smile of a child or stranger, in the kind remark and in the music we share. Music is the most direct form of communication mankind has ever known. My intent with this CD is to try and connect with the Shaman within us all and to share some of my feelings with you, the listener…I’m “Sculpting the Shaman With Occam’s Razor”.
