Full Of Life, the third album on the Spotted Peccary label from composer and
guitarist John Gregorius, is a free flowing, sincere set of compositions
brought to life by the time-honored ensemble of guitar, bass, and drums, all
richly augmented by synth ambiences, electronic beats, and ambient guitar
atmospheres. Moody and elegant, the albumÆs melodic passages and tonal
textures guide the listener on a delightful discovery of painted vistas and
unfolding beauty.
Imbued with a sense of freedom, the music on Full Of Life remains unified
and cohesive while at the same time not confined to the boundaries of one
sound as it moves effortlessly through styles ranging from ambient to
melodic to post rock. Uninhibited and natural, the twelve guitar-centric
tracks feel honest and pure with an emotional blend of electric and acoustic
guitars, bass, keyboards, and percussion. Tensions build and release
creating a sense of drama as the music eases through moments of lush
orchestration, gentle melodies, mysterious ambiences, and memorable
cinematic peaks. Echoes of GregoriusÆ earlier works are prevalent, and on
Full Of Life he successfully weaves his love of acoustic fingerstyle guitar,
ambient electric guitar, thoughtful orchestrated leads, and in-the-pocket
rhythmic grooves into a free and easy blend of music that is both accessible
and meaningful.
Full Of Life represents a natural progression and growth for John Gregorius.
A change of scenery resulted in a shift of inspiration and a renewal of his
creative energy when, after finishing his last album (2016Æs Still Voice),
John pulled up stakes from Southern California and relocated inland to the
Sonoran Desert of Tucson, Arizona. Surrounded by majestic saguaro cactus,
mesquite brush, and palo verde trees, Gregorius instantly felt at home
immersed in the mountainous desert landscape. "I have found the desert to be
a deeply spiritual place" Gregorius explains. "The solitude, openness,
resilience, mystery and life in spite of the sometimes harsh and difficult
landscape, leads one to contemplation of a bigger meaning and understanding
our true selves. This meditation of creation and Creator is the unifying
color and design of this recording. My hope is that it brings a sense of
being awake and aliveàFull of Life."
While, for Gregorius, Full Of Life embodies the deep spirit of renewal
brought about by his new life in the Sonoran desert, the simple beauty
realized in the albumÆs wide open sonic vistas and captivating spaces lifts
all listeners to a place of joy and wonder as the music flows through each
mood and moment like vital water through a desert arroyo; fluid, graceful,
inviting, and refreshing.
