Product information for Peter Silberman - Impermanence - Music & Performance - CD
While Impermanence is Peter Silberman s first solo album it could easily be thought of as a continuation of the emotional-spiritual odyssey begun through his work in The Antlers over the past decade. It travels some of the thornier terrain of the trio s previous albums Hospice Burst Apart and Familiars while carrying the conversation further down the path. What distinguishes Impermanence from it s forebears can be attributed to an unexpected injury as Silberman developed a hearing impairment in his left ear that resulted in a temporarily total hearing loss extraordinarily loud tinnitus and an excruciating sensitivity to everyday noises. Writing Impermanence became my effort to meditate on what had happened and grasp what it had taught me: about my mortality compassion and change. There s no remedy for the unpredictable and I want this record to reflect that to offer an alternative way to think about changing circumstances. explains Silberman.
