Release Date: September 22, 2018
Label: Sphere Music
If
you look at the overview of artist Forrest Smithson on his Facebook page it
says “Soundscapes emerging from the integration of
experiential intensities.”
“Lyrical
and abstract elements converge to bring forth movement and expression of unity
awareness.”
The release titled The Accomplished View has a very strong relationship to the music
you will hear. The music Forrest provides for the students of meditation and those
on a spiritual path, will understand the title of the recording once the music
starts playing. And those of you searching for a new path can find it here
within the music as well.
The message here is all about becoming your
best self from within, beginning with the music, it is a gestation period
before the flower blooms. In other words, when your mind, body, and soul merge
into one functional entity. The oneness of self-awareness and the life of one
guided by music that takes you to that level of existence can be one
interpretation if that fits for you. That is for me and what the music means to
me, each individual opens their own personal door to enlightenment regardless
of the vehicle used to attain it. I believe this very firmly and have learned
so much over the years about who I am and what makes me tick. And along with
that train of thought, what makes the inner clock tick too fast, slow or
backward. That kind of parallel can be like watching pictures go through your
mind, it is a diary of your thoughts and emotions merging with the brain to
show you it all in living color.
The music of Forrest Smithson is all of that
coming together to intersect with your soul, the prime motivator of all you do,
think and feel every day. I call it my higher power speaking to me, the gut
level answer whether something is right or wrong. We all have the innate sense
of that within is us. This music is a combination of new age, ambient and
electronic that soothes your being. The peace you receive will allow you to
reach The Accomplished View regarding
everything I previously discussed.
Once again, I find myself thinking of the
great Jean Michel-Jarre or Tangerine Dream. Those two artists are some of my
favorites of all time so my relationship to the music Forrest provides is
natural and it feels good. It quickly became right for my listening pleasure
and to use as a tool that sends me in a positive direction.
I do not think a listener could ask for more
from one recording. To those who know and those that seek The Accomplished View, this is your time to listen.
