It might seem weird that I am reviewing one song, but in the context of Infinite Religions musical project it might make more sense. Part of a series of three releases, if you look it at a basic level. It’s just four songs. But in actuality it’s six songs. The first release was Duality, which was two songs. But if you play them on top of each other it would create a third song. The second release was Mirrors, which was a single audio track that if you played it backwards it was another track.
The third release is called Harmony and it’s just one song. From the Infinite Religions website, it’s explained like this. “Harmony is a song composed of two parts that are inspired by the Golden Section—a ratio found in nature and applied in art for its intrinsic beauty.”
Neal Peterson, the architect of this calm madness, is making me think about his music and what it means. I don’t think I totally get it, but I was never one to get too involved in deep thoughts.
The song Harmony is a pretty cool song starting with a bell tone and throughout it’s different parts. At one moment, it sounds electronic, but then you can hear acoustic instruments. A little similar to Cloud Cult, but different.
Peterson says, “Infinite Religions is a collection of songs based on my love of science/religion/philosophy—it’s the result of being unconditionally overcome and humbled by the mystery and diversity of the world that we are.”
Maybe there is an underlying secret or mystery in this music, which I don’t get yet. Maybe it’s like my creative process, where I don’t get it right away but later someday it will make sense. Maybe I figured it out after all because I don’t know, and that is what life is. There is no figuring it out because it constantly changes, and we never can get that final answer until it’s all over.
