Kephas: An Artist At The Threshold Of Truth

Miami, FL. (Top40 Charts/ Kephas Official Website) - With his new CD, Threshold of Truth, Kephas explores a realm of divinity through a compelling song cycle that aligns prayer to percussion, six strings with the sacred. Threshold of Truth charts a journey, and the sequence of the tracks marks the arduous path encountered in living a spiritual life. As an explosive timbale riff intros the first track, 'Fall of Death,' the Florida-based guitarist, songwriter and producer's signature sustained guitar sets the tone. 'Death is not the cessation of our earthly life,' says Kephas, 'but the birth of our spiritual life.' The music to this track was inspired by a poem of the same name penned by the artist.

Other key milestones include the hypnotic 'Paraiso,' a Spanish word that signifies a gift. Kephas references the Book of Corinthians 1:6 as he explains that the lines in the Bible reveal, 'Yet do we speak a wisdom to those who are mature...' to differentiate this state of grace from a temporal utopia. The invitation to sanctity is underscored by the lush grace of 'Calor Y Ternura' (literally, 'heat and tenderness') as Kephas notes, 'My experience of God is predominately heart based, as opposed to the apocalyptic rendition popular in some circles.'

'Again for the First Time – Part One' unfolds a dreamy mid-tempo soundscape as the soothing melody spirals skyward. The concluding song, 'Visions of Plenty' is a vibrant rhythmic workout that completes the cycle with fervor and exuberance.

Kephas acknowledges that life events and human challenges are tests of faith but he believes that this is a direct conduit to the hearts and souls of his listeners. As the title would indicate, he is now at the doorway of a new stage of enlightenment. 'I wanted to offer a taste of what music can, and indeed should, offer humanity: a transcendent experience that will infuse their lives with strength, joy, peace, compassion and truth; a spiritual truth, as opposed to the reality show impersonator.' With Threshold of Truth, music as a key to the power and the promise of that spirit.
