Luminous Dark Alleys Book/CD Release - Tah Phrum Duh Bush
Wednesday, September 8, 2010, 8:00 pm
Tah Phrum Duh Bush is a New York City based Emcee, DJ, Writer, and Emergency R.N. who immerses himself in the urban arts and indulges in world perspectives. His two albums The Untitled EP and Sunshine or Pure Shade have earned countless praises from an international audience. In his music and writing, Tah utilizes dark comedy to explore fresh ways of expressing the dichotomies of life. Often delving into the mysteries of the human thought process. Luminous Dark Alleys: The Insomniac Works is a conglomeration of literary, musical and visual artistry that weaves an experience with emotion, logic and depth that will alter thinking processes for years to come. It is a trudge through the cavernous mind of an insomniac. Tah Phrum Duh Bush takes the reader/listener on a piggyback ride through a vast and vivid mindscape of self-discovery and blatant, vulnerable honesty. Millions are afflicted by insomnia worldwide. The sleepless now have something they can point to and say, “I know exactly where he is coming from”. Those who do sleep will never view sleep the same way. They will walk away from these works with a newfound appreciation for their blessings of slumber as their newborn curiosity for introspective thought leads them to the potential of becoming an insomniac.
