THE STORY BEHIND TEMPLE REDUX
Temple Redux is 30 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 added, dissected & remixed (3rd time)
now here in 2025 – 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
