Bio / Background
This is the fourth solo CD from Peter Whitehead on the Out of Round label. It is his second collection of songs, the other two CDs being instrumental works for dance and film. This collection of ten songs includes several written for live dance and theater performances, the remainder being songs from his solo performances.
Three years in the making, the CD and its title reflect the times in which it was made. In the aftermath of the destruction of the World Trade Center, the cycles of revenge fueled by conflicting ideologies and a God who is claimed by all sides, have placed us firmly in a world now dominated by militarism and the gun. This has proved once again to be a bogus path to peace. The use of violence has lead us only to further violence and the escalating cycles of revenge continue. The mood of these times is reflected in several of the songs.
