Composer and visionary Joseph Paul
Freije has released his second album of the 2016 summer, “Electric
Phlower.” The album contains 14 original Freije tracks for an
approximate total listening time of 50 minutes. Like his other
records, “Electric Phlower” has been proudly published on the
Phrygian Music independent record label without the direction or
support of the corporate music industry. Upbeat, energizing, and
entirely fun, “Electric Phlower” is electronic dance music for
the youthfulness in all of us.
Phrygian Music's Joseph P. Freije is an
eclectic experimental composer with a wider variety of original music
in his repertoire than most highly creative musicians working today.
He has composed music in categories as disparate as jazz,
electronica, pop, adult contemporary, EDM, experimental, rock, and
yet more. He is also one of today's most prolific independent
musicians. “Electric Phlower” represents the second of six
full-length records from Freije which will be made available in 2016
(four this summer alone).
“Music is the highest form of
spiritual communication that exists,” Freije said last May in an
interview for his “Elements of Evidence” LP. “The world uses
music for purposes that cloud the reality of what music really is:
medicine and a reason for living.”
This sonic medicine and raison
d'être is especially
invigorating in “Electric Phlower,” as it is 100% undiluted dance
music, the most danceable record to come from Freije yet. While the
sound of it may surprise some of his most loyal fans, Freije's
personality still shines throughout, elucidating yet another facet of
his ever-unfolding character.
“I
like having fun,” writes the artist. “Dancing is fun,
so I play dance music as well as the other genres.”
It may be hard to
imagine the avant-garde composer of jazz and experimental piano
himself on the dancefloor, but the truth is it's close to his heart.
“I
used to love to roller skate to this kind of music, was a real wild
man on skates.”
Constantly haunting
the rink, fellow roller addicts had a name for him: “Superman.”
It's a feeling
“Electric Phlower” communicates directly. The album doesn't just
give the listener a reason to move, to groove, to shuck and jive –
it empowers the dancer to make an instrument of the body and join the
orchestra in a celebration of being alive.
“Electric
Phlower” by Joseph Paul Freije is available online worldwide at
over 700 online music stores now. Be sure also to hear “Elements of
Evidence,” also available for listening and download now.
