We humans used to live in mutualistic symbiosis with nature. At some point we figured out that we could shape our surroundings and started destroying all that was around us, to fill it with only what we wanted. The peaceful symbiosis was broken and we had become parasites of Mother Earth.
What we fail to see is that everything is connected. Most parasites that kills its host has an exit strategy, a way to reach a new host. We have none. If we kill our host, we also kill our selves. We need to reconnect, to re-establish the mutualistic symbiosis with nature. We need to get back into the loving arms of Mother Nature. Our consciouness and spirit in a symbiotic relationship with eachother, nature and the universe.

Spirit Symbiosis

Spirit Symbiosis: Astralseid

We have always looked up to the starlit sky, at the great expanding universe. From ancient times we have been making stories about gods and spirits, trying to explain it all and how the sky affects us. Through modern science and thousands of years of observations we start to understand more and more of its creation and history. In the beginning the universe was unorganized and violent, but the spin and gravity started the dance that slowly brought more and more harmony and stability. Slowly stars and planets formed out of the dust, through the attraction of gravity, spinning and weaving molecules into matter. Every little part of this history has lead us to where we are today, the living and breathing planet Earth.
This is for the stars and planets spinning, for the ongoing creation and transformation of the universe. This is our love song for the starlit sky, and for the planets, moons, stars and galaxies spinning their eternal dance, slowly finding harmony. Our dance is its reflection, finding our own inner balance.  This is our praise to all things connected, a celebration of our oneness with the whole universe.

Shamanic Love

Shamanic Love: Skydance

With this Astralseid release, Gustav Holberg revisits some of his long lost compositions, in a quest for completion. It has been a long, personal and wild ride to get this album done. The old and dusty, that never got its glory, now transformed by new found knowledge and inspiration.

Electric Love is an explosion of genre-breaking tracks, with a fine blend of electronic and organic sounds, best described as "Psychedelic Ethno" or "Psychedelic Fusion". Lending elements from many styles and genres like psybient, psytrance, ethno and rune folk. Inspired by a wide arrange of artists, like Shpongle, Dead Can Dance, Suduaya and Wardruna. All this mixed into a big pot of bubbling emotions, woven into a story of an inner journey, a trip worth taking.

The album has 6 tracks, clocking in at 41 minutes in total length. Produced and performed by Gustav Holberg, featuring Rúnahild's voice on two tracks.

Single: Back To The Wild

The solution is as simple as it seems impossible, and the sad part is that humanity has had this knowledge for thousands of years, told them by great souls, like Sidharta Gautama, Jesus, Mohammad and Mahatma Gandhi.
Firstly all people must lay down arms, hatred, vengeance and greed. Forgive enemies, no matter what they have done in the past. Then the process of healing can begin. Healing the traumas carried within. There are many things humans must forsake, like the systems that rewards greed and hoarding of resources, the very reasons for inequity. The planet has enough resources for all to enjoy and prosper, to live in a paradise. If all share this wealth, all become rich and none shall be wanting or needing. The truly hard part is that every individual must take this choice and do what it takes to change.

Single: Be The Change

It is hard to describe our music with a single word. We do not limit ourselves to a single genre or style. We just want to make music we enjoy ourselves. Inspired by all we do and our experiences in life. Mixing it all into one great pot of joy, love and ecstasy. For us, our music is deeply spiritual, a way of expressing the energies of both the outer universe and the inner core of our souls.
