In music we have time.
We have the conception, birth, breath, and end of the piece. The past gives us context to help understand the present, and predict what the future may bring, but it’s really only the present moment that is ever directly experienced.
Within musical time we have Measures, bars, phrases, periods, movements etc. Sunrise, sunset, seasons, years, and larger cycles.
within these cycles exists consonance and dissonance. We strive for a balance, but often have to play one piece a thousand times over, making small changes to individual notes, and slowly perfecting before moving on to the next. Each note (whether struggling or excelling) affects the character of the entire piece, and Even though they can feel independent, and absolutely are independent, they lose all meaning without their foundations: the lower vibrations, what came before them, and what follows from them.
there’s a merging of the symbolic feminine and masculine in our minds, or chaos and order which gives rise to these creations.
There are many compelling models which can conceptually represent the whole of existence on a scale digestible by our minds. Music is one of my favorites, and it may do more than represent abstractly. I believe it also expresses directly and concretely what it is to exist. These are the kinds of thoughts that move me to write music

Tripoli's drumming reflects a wide background of independent musical influences. At the root of his dynamic framework resides the deep passion to provide fresh rhythms and artistic perspective.

Ever since his days as the mastermind behind critically-acclaimed avant-boho outfit DUFUS, Seth Faergolzia has blazed colorful trails into modes of expression one couldn't have foreseen even as Dufus were being hailed as "freak folk" innovators.

When Faergolzia first emerged out of lower Manhattan at the turn of the millennium, he cut quite the figure as a trailblazing artist committed to pursuing his vision on the fringe of the fringes, quickly distinguishing himself as a visionary with an entertainer's flair and a penchant for bending minds. Naturally, the surface absurdism of his output drew comparisons to likeminded iconoclasts like Captain Beefheart, Zappa, Ween, and Mr. Bungle. But, Faergolzia has come to represent a genre unto himself, the labyrinthine pathways of his inspiration delighting audiences and collaborators alike.

The new album, "Doubting Won't Do" includes solo acoustic songs and new loop material, both personal and complex in production and includes artwork by friend and collaborator, Adam Green of the Moldy Peaches.

In the new live show, taking the stage as a one-man tornado of sound, Faergolzia will draw from new material, electronic samples, loops, improvisations, and choice selections from the Dufus vault with his backing band, Heck Yup (which includes tuba, electric guitar, percussion, glockenspiel and keyboards).  -- a full and varied cross-section of the matchless oddball muse that has delighted audiences, collaborators, and critics alike for over a decade.
