Familiar in the Abstract is a self-produced first effort for Principles of Uncertainty dealing with the idea of life’s indoctrinations into various schools of thought (and the freeing of the self thereof), an introspective look at confronting, and possibly growing past, the paths in life that we didn't originally make decisions about on our own. More accessible than generally 'Progressive'... Principles of Uncertainty let the influences shine through while producing an original sound based in high creativity and introspective design. Prog Art? Rock? Progressive Rock? --- not specific to one but elements of all three ... and more, with influences that span from Rush and Yes to Tool to Duran Duran and beyond. Philosophy of a solo artist: Jeff -- "It's difficult to create something as a solo effort that has the feel and musical diversity of multiple, unique human inputs. There's a kind of stigma attached to solo artists for this reason, I've found. As Principles of Uncertainty, the musical elements have very specific styles and I take great care to be certain that the finished material represents no element of greater importance than any other." Principles of Uncertainty? The concept that we're born and indoctrinated into lives and principles over which we have no initial say but begin to, at various points in life question the validity of. A sort of human extension of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle -- that life is an utterly moving target. Thanks for listening!
