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.�
Music fans who wrap their ears around �Hiding in the Light� by Joseph P. Freije are certain to accomplish this in short order.
