Tah Vinci Code Warm Up #1

  “The Plague of a Million Thoughts per Hour” is the thinking being’s disease.  For as long as he can remember, Tah Phrum Duh Bush has lived the life of a person afflicted with such a condition. With this condition comes a multitude of afflictions and symptoms. The chief of which, in Tah’s case, is Insomnia. It wasn’t until recently that he even knew he had insomnia. Millions of people all over the world are affected by things that cause insomnia. It appears that Insomnia is more common than the “Common Cold”. The curious thing about insomnia is; most people that are affected don’t realize that they experience it in one form or another. If you’ve ever found yourself staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night or struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, you may have had a taste of insomnia. If it happens to you every night, you definitely have insomnia. When you can’t sleep, what goes through your mind? What bizarre flights of fancy are brewing? Tah can tell you. Tah would be a charter member of the “Insomnia Club” if there were such a club. Sleeplessness has opened new pathways of thought and understanding for Tah. After fighting it for so long, Tah has actually embraced his ailment and seeks to join minds with other insomniacs through the sharing of his experiences and peculiar style of thinking. Along with his odd method of thinking comes his unusual style of artistry. His lyrics are a landscape of rich metaphor plants and fabulous colorful allegorical foliage and have grown into adulthood since his last artistic release. The Dark Alleys of his mind are illuminated with the sparks of thought and dark wonderment. Follow the Luminous glow into the dim light of sleeplessness.  

Tah Phrum Duh Bush is an oddball amongst artists.

This dude is so askew from the norm he is often labeled a weirdo-nonconformist-freak... “Hey man this cat just ain't right!” Yet somehow, strangely his look doesn't quite fit the bill! Harnessing the rawness of Redman, the Energy of the Roots, the lyrical intricacies of Pharoahe Monch and the savvy of A Tribe Called Quest, Tah has been seen on stage doing wide ranges of craziness. Tah can be found in the bowels ofNew York City on a stage dropping science and knowledge in one instant and in the next he's stage diving with a hole-filled parachute with an egg beater in one hand and a mic in the next. Consequently, Tah Phrum Duh Bush has chosen to represent himself as the antithesis of all; the positive to every negative and the negative to every positive; an oxymoron live in the flesh! To be succinct he's the epitome of "Filthy-Clean!" There is neither good nor bad. There only is what is: Sunshine or Pure Shade

Straying away from the cliché of today's generic musical formats, Tah has set out and attained his goal of: not “Gold”, not “Platinum” but “Aluminum” status! No need to check the sound scan dammit! It doesn't change a thing. Tah Phrum Duh Bush gives birth to themes of life that 99% of earth's population can relate to in one way or another. From the pinnacles of mania to the deep fathoms of depression, Tah's artistry represents both ends of the Chi, both sides of the Yin-Yang and all shades of the spectrum in between. No holy person is without sin and no sinner is without sanctity. Tah finds mid-ground without ever being at a polar extreme for an extended period of time.

Tah's Lyrical wizardry entrances the listener to frequently indulge in usage of the rewind function on his/her listening device to catch metaphors of great magnitude that manage to elude the weak of thought.

Tah's debut album is entitled "Sunshine or Pure Shade?!?!" The title of this collective of witty and bewitchingly cunning selections is itself a question of Tah's introspection of life. This question is most clearly exemplified in the closing masterpiece "Life and Death Dichotomy". Tah ponders the contrasts between the themes of life and death and challenges the common ideas that most are programmed and conditioned to follow and believe in.

“Phlatbush” is another selection that represents the very essence of the "Sunshine or Pure Shade?!?!" theme. Tah is a native of Phlatbush (Flatbush). Phlatbush is geographically the center of Brooklyn, "the most culturally rich city in the world." Just about every race, religion and social class is represented there. In Tah's "Phlatbush" all the pros and cons, ups and downs and diversity of this urban land are brought to life. It is truly awe-inspiring how much information about a city of demographically indefinable people is brought to the soul through the ear of the listener.The recent advent of "The Flatbush Remixes" release has brought this song back into the public eye in a whole new and innovative way.

Tah lets the partaker know that it's OK to be the oddball. It's alright to think your own thoughts, it's cool not to do things just to fit in and that without the self, there is only mindless wandering in the herd. Tah welcomes you to the reality of..."Sunshine or Pure Shade?!?!"
