Songs For Dreams Pt. 2

I dedicate this album to our daughter Enna Asher Sanjuan.
Who just came into this world on December 30th 2020 at 3:21 AM.. During the beautiful full moon…
She will carry this amazing energy with her forever and she will also work with it her whole life bringing in the age of Aquarius.

A selection of lullabies for you my dear child...
Also some of my favorite tracks

Welcome to this Atmospheres episode curated by Bålsam

Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Anthony Asher-Yates approached ambient music when he moved to Colombia, being inspired by the diversity of the ecosystems that exist in this region. Known for taking his listeners deep into the tropical rainforest, Bålsam has conjured up a dream world surrounded by nature. Anthony's music is composed by field recordings he does during his walks though the mountains where he now lives with partner Nina Nativa and his daughter.

Enjoy!

Beautiful Home

Dive into the enchanting organic soundscapes of Bålsam.

Anthony Asher-Yates AKA Bålsam is a visual / sound artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota… When he was a child, he dreamt of traveling into the wilderness and finding  places in nature with beautiful rivers, waterfalls, jungles and birds. His journeys have brought him all over the South American, where he began listening and recording the voice of nature through walks in the mountains. This became the raw material to transform his music. 
Now he resides in the mountains of Colombia with his partner Nina Nativa, where they work with ceremonies, therapy, rituals and plant medicine. Choosing this healing path for himself, has allowed him to open his heart, cleanse his body overcome fears and believe in his creation as a healing vibration.
 
"I would describe this liveset as a naked journey into various natural environments, a free dream walk, where the listener can go from the jungle, to the cloud forests and to the ocean without time or space limits. to create my music, I've walked and lived in all these places with my sound recorder and my video camera. To connect in the moments recording the birds, creatures and elements in nature, it has been important to be barefoot, calm, silent, receptive and attentive, so nature's beings can keep singing their songs....so I don't interfere.."
