What is the "Temple of Now"you may ask? Being ambiguous, it's going to be different for everyone but it may be best described as a focal point in time, similar to music in this sense. But then which focal point are you talking about? For the "now" becomes in an instant the "past." The present "reality" becomes memory unless a choice is made to maintain the present. So, in such a way a "memory" can become the present focus. Through our own choices the ever-fleeting present moment can be the focus or so can an abstraction as the imagined --becomes REALITY. Thus, is the goal of this band -- To journey one through focal points in time; Musically and Abstractly transferring the Imagined into Reality. Whose reality you may ask? Who knows, for certain! This music will take you on journeys through genres of music both future and past, but always with a foot in each realm. Enjoy the trip!

I love the "Sting" feel, but with a new-age, progressive twist.
