THE STORY BEHIND TEMPLE REDUX
temple redux is 25 years in the making
in 1995/96, I received a Toronto Arts Council grant and a FACTOR loan
to do a new world music album
I called it temple
having to rush it’s completion
(because FACTOR gave me a deadline to deliver CDs)
it fell short, even having taken 2 years
seeds were however planted
I’ve dissected & remixed (3rd time)
now here in 2023 – finished
my first inspiration came from having watched
a scorsese film years earlier
called ‘last temptation of christ’
and the soundtrack blew me away
I bought my first CD player that summer (1988)
and listened to peter gabriel’s ‘passion’
endless times, fascinated
several years, then even decades later
and finally
temple redux
