| Life
in its truest form is a kind of music; characterized by propulsive
syncopated rhythms, polyphonic ensemble playing, varying degrees
of improvisation, and often deliberate distortions of pitch and
timbre. Implied is a series of balancing acts. It must always be
disciplined -- but never driven -- by formulas, agendas, or sheet
music. It must always be pushing outward, forward, upward -- and
therefore, inevitably, against complacency. Slow To Speak exists
to run parallel with life's music. Slow To Speak aims to offer its
own distinctive melodies, rhythms without pretense and the entrapment
of modern life. It is a groove that ignites passion -- hot beads
of sexual excitement, a groove that is gravitational -- creating
the sweet funk of action and influence. Slow to Speak is raw, convicting
and at times uncomfortable -- setting itself apart as a media outlet
subsisting on truth and its convictions.
slow
to speak
is taken from a Bible verse found in the book of James, 1:19. It
reads, "be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger."
This is the approach we are taking to compiling and sequencing music.
It is one that begets genuine appreciation for the work, its presentation
and the audience. |
