"Bridging the Gap,"
A concept CD in which Scott carefully selected amazing world class musicians to help compose
and perform instrumental music that emotionally interprets his original painting by the same name.
How the
Painting and Music
fit together
" Bridging The Gap " is Scott's interpretation of the many lifetimes and journey's we take to achieve the spiritual enlightenment known as Nirvana. Buddhist's believe that humans are reincarnated again and again to remember and learn from their past lives and carry with us those teachings from one life to the next until we have learned all there is to learn. It is believed that once we have achieved this we are reincarnated into a spiritual God like state called Nirvana.
"One who is willing to attain Nirvana, has to understand Four Noble Truths. These Noble Truths
are the key to attain Nirvana, without proper understanding of Suffering, Cause of Suffering,
Relief of Suffering and the way to end Suffering,
These are the four Noble Truths."
As you read the description below of
" Bridging the Gap " the 9 songs on the
CD are in the order of the paintings journey.
The part of the painting that is being interpreted in song is identified by a yellow circle.
