Michael Earls (cerkit) I listen to this album often. I put it on and sit and think about life. It's a great album to contemplate things by. Favorite track: kə-ˈlī-də-ˌskōp (A Beginning).

Krylda Blissful waves of joy and beauty emanate from this sublime work of art. These waves convey emotion in a stereophonic envelope that beckons the listener’s imagination. The title of this album is fitting, as it will take you on an immersive journey through a kaleidoscope of emergent emotions and reveries. Bravo. Favorite track: The World Has Not Forgotten You.

about

This semi-autobiographical album represents some life changes that I've been going through (and am continuing to go through) in the past year. With an extremely limited amount of free time, I put together the music for this release. During my daily 1 1/2 hour commutes (one way!), I would listen to this music and at night time refine it in a way that I feel accurately represents my intentions. I wanted to release this when I felt as though I had worked through my predicaments 100%. Not entirely there, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so here you are. I chose to release this on my birthday, the music and its purpose has a special connection to this day for me.

The title 'Kaleidoscope' was chosen as a reference to the device used (mostly) by kids to refract the world around them and display it in a fascinatingly colorful recreation. No matter how you twist and turn the device, it yields a captivating image that for a mere moment represents your entire world. I honestly can't remember a time as a child when I thought that every single representation I created wasn't the best thing ever.

While this children's toy is a symmetrical world and makes a lot of sense, the adult world is asymmetrical and seen in many different and ever changing angles. We seek to (blindly and effortlessly) navigate through the ether by jumping from one distorted angle of perceived success to the next with hopes that we land on our feet.

In an attempt to feel and act grown up, we've abandoned our true inner longings and dreams, our childlike wonder and innocence. Instead of 'finding the time', MAKE the time to restore yourself back to that refracted world of enthusiasm and elation with a renewed sense of how to achieve your objectives with an innocence that is a dynamic reflection of your innocent creativity. I know that I will. Peace.
