Description
===========
John
Flomer's Primal Cinema has achieved a completely unique, outstanding work of beautiful, flowing melodies, driving rhythms, theatrical orchestral movements, and introspective passages. Intriguing, imaginative progressions support grand themes illuminating the album's
central concept of genetic memory. The music teleports the listener to lands
foreign yet strangely familiar.
Artist Notes
We collect antiques - to fill up space?
We dig in the earth for bones - to get dirty?
We pore over ancient tablets, books, and manuscripts
- for new hamburger recipes?
We search the stars for clues about the origin of the universe -
because we have nothing better to do?
We search in the past because it is our nature. It is an insatiable desire to
find a link with the past and to somehow connect or ground with it.
We will search out the past in any way we can for many reasons - to give
meaning, or to find a purpose in our daily lives, to understand our place in
the physical or metaphysical scheme of things, to discover our true origins as a
race (ape or extraterrestrial?), to justify or rationalize a belief system, or
to merely re-connect with our childhood. Many clues wait to be found - some as
awesome as scratches on an ancient rock, but some very subtle like a fragrance
in the wind, or a spring rain.
I have been entertaining a notion that our memories are physical, whether the
result of our direct experience, those of an actual, or perceived past-life, or
just the recollection of a simple dream (or twisted nightmare). In the case of
dreams, past-life experiences, or those oddities we refer to as "deja-vu", they
are not only physical, but real - as real as our day to day direct memories.
Allow me to carry this idea one step further and off to the left.
I believe that our direct personal experiences are not only permanently stored
in our brain as memory, but stored also in our genes (in whatever
scientifically accepted way that that may be understood to happen) becoming part
of the genetic information stored in DNA. This "memory" information is passed
along, as are our facial features, hair color, body type, personality traits,
propensity for various abilities and/or afflictions, etc., to our children and
they to their children.
As we sit in our chairs today, we are the heirs (willing or unwilling) to the
memories of our ancestors. Most of this memory information dwells in the deep,
dark crevices of brain matter never to be heard from again in the coherent way
in which they transpired, due to variables such as the simple passage of time
in which racial cross- breeding, common evolutionary mutations, the influx of
new direct experiences, inevitable breaking down of cells during the aging
process prior, and so on, but they do surface. They surface as the odd,
convoluted adventures we experience daily in our dreams; or the recollections
of living a past life, in another place and as a different person. From time to
time we all experience "deja-vu", that haunting feeling of familiarity we get
in a particular place, but never having been there before; or just an
"out of the blue" sublime feeling or deep emotion that overtakes us
occasionally (I call this an "aura of memory").
All of this memory phenomena are triggered in myriad of ways - a certain
fragrance; certain atmospheric conditions such as a storm or wind through the
summer trees; a face in a crowd; a photograph...... a song?
The concept I've put forth may be somewhat complex, but "Mysterious Motions of Memory" is simple - a collection of memories in song - from another place, behind a different face, in another time, and with a different rhyme.
