Using medicine music amplified with an altered state of consciousness allows you to listen, hear and see into your subconscious. Building manifestation warriors to lead personal and universal growth.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

During the early 1990s I studied Mathematics and Computer Science. The world wide web was still largely text-based and mostly empty. Today things are obviously different, though I still thoroughly enjoy art, design, cinema and music in all its forms. I have traveled all over the world for nearly two decades, visiting just over 140 countries. Japan is my favorite. All of this I attempt to incorporate into my music and art.

SPIRITUAL
THING
Interdimensional. Sound. Healing.

Spiritual Thing founders, DJs DK & Drea Strickler, expand their heart-based song selections beyond the ego & substance-soaked nightclub dance floors, bringing the permeating power of music to a more medicinal medium. Path and vision align with regular collaborators; including vocalist Andria Bunnell (Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra, Las Chollas Peligrosas), Yogi Gila Shire, and many others.

Offering sound healing, unifying global consciousness, and fostering the inherent human harmonies of connection & love, Spiritual Thing provides respite from the dizzying patterns of modern life; with an abundance of space to shatter ego & reconnect with Mother Earth & Great Spirit.

Spiritual Thing is the rebalancing of the subtle energies through the use of an intuitive, lovingly-guided offering of mantra, gong, monochord, shamanic drums, Tibetan and quartz crystal singing bowls, Native American flutes, lush synthesizer layers, vintage Fender Rhodes electric piano, and ethereal vocal melodies.  Spiritual Thing aims deep into the Center of Pure Awareness with the aid of epic delays, spacey reverb, analog warmth, & other cosmic filters/FX.

Direct the observer within to elevated states in multi- dimensional meditation & profound self-awareness. It’s a Spiritual Thing.
