The Lishmah EP is set to be released on Modular Moods/Shemspeed in October 2009!!!
Lishmah is a profound concept of traditional Judaism. Commonly
understood as meaning "for it's own sake", the term Lishmah is
usually applied to the proper state of mind for Torah study. Not for fame,
money, or power- but merely for the simple joy of doing. This is a process
oriented paradigm as opposed to a product oriented paradigm. We find a deep and
humbling wisdom in this idea and have sought out its application, not just to
Torah study, but to all of our pursuits and passions. It is in this spirit that
Darshan's first album was created- Lishmah- purely for the simple of joy and
fulfillment of Being what we are Doing.
Written and recorded over a stormy summer while working 60 hour weeks.
Mixed and mastered in four rainy 12 hour days. Coast to coast. Audio files
over the internet. Whatever it took to bring this audible light into the world. Get
out of the way and let the music play.
