slow

far away *ƒernab* from hustle and tumult, you could find an enchanted place at the riverside where time seemed to flow in the opposite direction. at this spot we played a very slow awakening set on sunday morning, sitting on the rug, surrounded by the audience. the atmosphere was so peaceful and calm, people naked, sleeping, dancing, swimming. we are in deep gratitude for this intimate experience and hope the recording transmits a bit of the coziness and deceleration we felt at this place. thanks to everyone who spent this morning with us and big kisses to the fernab crew for the invitation <3

the set only contains our own music, played live with extra long intros and outros :)

Witchtape #53 | Guest Wizz : Isaque Solaris

(Story continued from Witchtape #52)

The little witch sensed she was nearing her destination.  Deep, very deep in the African rain forest.  She had been flying over these endless, pristine woods for over an hour and she couldn’t believe that such a big forest could exist on this planet.  It was way bigger than all the forests of her home country in Western Europe combined.
At one point, the girl sensed she had reached her destination and gently touched down in a small clearing.  After hitting the ground, she quickly became overwhelmed by the energy of the forest, which entered her body through her feet and which resonated strongly throughout her whole body.  Even the earth started to shake.  To her amazement, she saw little trees shooting up from the ground while flowers started to bloom.  The mystic connection between witch and forest released a force she had never experienced before… this forest had clearly been waiting for a witch.  The girl was really impressed by this warm welcome, but at the same time she made it clear that she was already the caretaker of a little forest in Europe and that witches always stay dedicated to just one single forest… for life.  Yet the little witch felt this immense love coming from this vast forest, while a few plants were creeping up her legs.
Then her heart skipped a beat when she saw a giant entering the clearing… she immediately knew it was her lover, her soon-to-be husband.  Surprisingly, he was not alone as he was accompanied by a little girl, who was obviously a tiny little witch and a cousin of the wizard.
After their first kiss in 4 months’ time (the 5ft 5” petite witch being pushed upwards by some helpful creepers so that she came at eye level with 6ft 10” giant wizard), he introduced the 2 witches to each other.  They were amazed at their differences and couldn’t stop looking each other in the eyes.  The black eyes of the tiny witch were beyond mesmerizing, completely contrasting with the bright green eyes of her European sister witch.  It appeared that the child was 9 years old, which happened to be exactly the same age as when the witch settled down in her forest in Europe.  Meanwhile, the nearby animals observed the little black girl, and they realized that finally a witch had arrived to take care of the forest.  Some gorillas approached the child and adopted her instantly in the group.
For an instance, the white witch had a vision of the future and she saw that the 9 year old girl was destined to live for over a thousand years and would eventually become very successful to make this immense forest thrive like never before… although she also sensed this would be a frustrating and difficult task for the next 50 years.  Meanwhile, more and more curious animals approached to get a glimpse of the new witch, but the gorilla family did their best to shield the little girl from all this excitement and to provide a safe nest for her, while the tiny witch started to play with some baby gorillas, visibly already feeling at ease in the forest which would become her home for the next 1000 years…

Dj-Set

I was yearning for a music journey that i could make love to, and realized that part of a set I already created was perfect for that.

So, with pleasure, i present to you "Tantric love making music journey" - a slow, devotional and sensual set with a few small gentle peaks - kinda like good tantric sex.

I'd love to hear how this music makes you feel - share in the comments below.

Ecstatic Dance by Nowananda

Tantric Love Making Music Journey #1

On the Roof of Imagination is a Sound Healing Journey that I originally created to be performed as a meditation at the end of Ecstatic Dances. This time I performed it as a meditation in itself to celebrate the Winter Solstice, Christmas, and the beginning of a new year for my good friends at Imagination Hostel in Arambol, Goa, India.

Check out the video of my performance on Youtube!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oyc5LN_904c&feature=youtu.be

The ambiences you hear during the journey are a collection of recordings that I've gathered over the last 2 years while traveling.  Each holds the energy of a powerful place or moment.  You can hear birds at sunrise on a lake in the mountains of Canada, Argan seeds in my hands in the south of Morocco, gentle waves under the full moon from the Indian Ocean in Kerela and more.  You can also hear clips of the Sasak villagers of Lombok, Indonesia, singing and laughing, as well as parts of the traditional sunset ceremony at the Uluwatu temple in Bali.  I've blended together all of these elements to create an ambience that captures and emanates a part of what I have experienced on my journey.

Everything about this performance is completely improvised... I take in the energy of the moment and my surroundings and channel it directly into the music.

The native flute I play in the beginning and the end was handmade by friend @masterskayfleit (you can find him and his epic flutes on Instagram!)

If you ever come to Arambol, be sure to check out the Imagination Hostel, it's one of the most special hostels I've stayed in since I started traveling over 3 years ago:

On the Roof of Imagination: A Live Improvised Sound Journey

Unlocking The Doors Of Eternity

Unlocking the Doors of Eternity

Sumak kawsay is a central principle in the world view of the indigenous peoples of the Andes region. It aims at material, social and spiritual satisfaction for all members of the community, but not at the expense of others and or the natural foundations of life, and can be understood as "living together in diversity and harmony with nature". On an individual level, sumak kawsay is understood as a personally "good life". Sumak kawsay has connections to the Western model of sustainable development, but does not know a linear concept of development. For this reason and in its understanding of nature, sumak kawsay also differs fundamentally from socialist or communist ideals. Some indigenous representatives believe that sumak kawsay cannot be implemented by people in modern societies. I do not see it that way, keep trying! I hope these wonderful sounds can support you in your process.

Snake Charmer #4 - Sensual NeoSoul, Folk, RnB, Jazz and more

I was so excited to play at this luxury French-Fusion restaurant in Koh PhaNgan, at one of their last nights of the season.

I felt that French Chansons, Jazz and light Latin-Electronic music would work very well with the ambiance in the restaurant.

Some of the french people said that they were missing this music after so many months of traveling, and at the end of the evening, a group of frenchies was singing along with 'La Boheme'.

Some of the French songs i played are songs i've heard at home from age zero  - I clearly remember seeing the vinyl cover of Charles Aznavour's album as a child.

Ima Adamaya 𝝮 Hypnotic Shamanic Birthing Ceremony

During this dark-soul-cavern that is January 2021, we are grateful to administer a hearty dose of musik-medicina, to take you on a hero's journey from darkness into light:  uncovering gems, hidden strengths & purpose that can ONLY be found by going into the DEPTHS...

Thank you connoisseur-of-sound https://soundcloud.com/mikalaton for BLESSING us with Lucid's 6th Portal-Cast tapestry 💎  "Playground of Initiation" 💎 

Here is Mikal's inspiration for creating this deep masterpiece for us all:

"We live in the direct stream of challenging times. 

Apart from pandemics, I see many problems for humankind and our connection to Mother Earth, so we have to multi-manage living with crises and transformation:   on a global, social and personal level. But we are not helpless victims.  We have the power to change.  I don’t belief in beliefs. I trust in experience, learning, thinking, intuition & love.

To tap into healing, it might be necessary to face our own dark and blind spots:  our shadows hiding in our subconsciousness, our traumas and addictions. It helps to see them for what they are, and how we relate to them. Hopefully we can find the power to integrate or transform them; to become more whole, attentive and joyful.. 

In this sense I created a soundscape for a shamanic-initiation-journey:  giving birth to the idea of a vision quest and personal transformation.  

Feel free to Imagine yourself to be protagonist.
Starting point of the story is our situation with our planet, our dear home.  Once on the shamanic way, the adept connects with nature and finds allies in supporting animal spirits. Following down the rabbit hole, traveling deeper into darker realms of the personality and the psyche.  Developing along basic questions of existence--as well as through missions & adventures--you find out more about your purpose in life.

And you move on in your own sacred dance. In the middle of the set you find a crucial point in facing death:  dissolving and getting stripped down to the bones and having them scattered all over. — After getting set together through allied-cosmic & ancestral forces, you come back to life with deeper knowledge about the ways of the soul circling the wheel of existence. 

Performing healing rituals and finding the trust to dive down into the otherworld to do service for your kinship, you walk the path of nature into the sacred forest.  With confidence and respect for all creation, seeing oneness and light, developing love and generosity, you're awakening to states of unison and bliss. Now the bigger picture of planetary healing and the preservation of life is coming back into focus. The way gets joyful and lightens up even more by meeting good old friends from the beginning for a chat :)

💎And so is the Kosmic Playgrond of Initiation...

Instead of providing a track list here, I like to keep it more lively in a more communicative form. So if u like to know the ID of a track just ask in the comments and be assured, I will give u very soon an answer there."

💎Thank you Mikal for this succulent dive into the DEEEEEEP heart of the underground, of the soul-hero's journey...Follow Mikal here:
