The eclectic composer of music known
internationally as Joseph P. Freije has released his fourth
full-length record for 2016, “Hiding in the Light.” The album
contains 13 original Freije tracks for a listening time approaching a
full hour. Like all music by Joseph P. Freije, it has been proudly
published on the Phrygian Music independent record label without the
support or direction of the corporate music industry. Fantastic and
fugue-like, clever without pretension and kaleidoscopic with just a
touch of psychedelia, “Hiding in the Light” is one of the most
accessible experimental records from Joseph P. Freije yet.
2016 has been a remarkable year for
Joseph P. Freije, whose music expertise delves into classic rock,
jazz, classical, experimental, electronica and blues music, just to
name a few. While this new offering, “Hiding in the Light,” is a
singular blend of electronica, postmodern jazz and experimental
music, he has released no fewer than three other full-length records
this year in various genres, with yet another rumored to be on the
way. These previous LPs include “Elements of Evidence”
(alt-rock), “Electric Phlower” (dance/electronica), and “Jazz
Beyond the Chaos” (postmodern jazz/electronic jazz).
Joseph P. Freije has at different times
named as main artistic influences Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Jimi
Hendrix, Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Peter Kater, Nicholas Gunn, Carlos
Santana, Jesse Cook, Spyro Gyra, the Moody Blues, Jefferson Starship,
Thierry David, and the great classical composers. While this paints
an image of an open-minded music fan with top-shelf tastes leaning
toward the best of the classic-rock legends, the list does not at all
elucidate the experience of hearing a record published by Phrygian
Music.
Much of this stems from the general head space, paradigm and philosophies of Joseph Freije and Co. Some of his albums are steeped in thought, symbol, and implication, while others are mostly experiential – art for art's sake. “Hiding in the Light” seems mostly of the latter persuasion.

Asked to speak on the themes of his new
record, Freije says, “Life is meant to be more fun and pleasant for
more people more of the time on a daily basis.”
