🛖Global Village Tapestry: 

🪴This video was filmed over three years and many countries ... at Ecovillages and Permaculture centers in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Japan, Oregon, Washington, and California, showcasing regenerative alternatives to the conventional paradigm, highlighting ways that humans are thriving symbiotically with their environment and surrounding ecosystems.

✨  Global Village Tapestry is a song that emerged from my many years of traveling the world, living at eco-villages, learning about Permaculture, connecting with indigenous communities, and envisioning a thriving world that's interconnected like a global village tapestry. 

I started recording this song in November 2019 at Studio C in Oakland. This studio is run by Jason Cropper, and is where the band Weezer recorded their Blue album.  

Then I went to my hometown, San Luis Obispo, and drove up to Cambria to the Painted Sky Studio, run by Steve Crimmel, where we recorded my Dad (Bob Liepman) on Cello, my Mom (Wendy Liepman) on vocals, and Sal Garza on Violin.

Right before embarking on a journey to Central America, I visited Makila WindDragon at the Yuba Sun Studio in Grass Valley, California, and gave him my files, and Forrest Caleb Kelly added drums to the song. 

Fast forward almost a year, and I was finally returning to States after having been in Guatemala and Costa Rica for 9 months due to the pandemic! I visited Shane Rilling (Shining Lion) and his son Alaeika in Ojai, where we recorded a scene for the music video to his hip-hop verse. 

Then, in Grass Valley, I visited Makila and re-recorded my vocals and some guitar parts and worked a bit on the arrangement and mixing. Soon after that, I moved to Boulder, Colorado, and have been working with Makila remotely. During that time, Makila added piano and some percussion and vocals, Carey Davoli (Triada) added vocals, Thomas Spellman added Bass, Colin Martin tuned up my vocals, and Makila mixed and mastered the track. 

✨ It's been a long journey, both writing the song, producing the song, and living the adventure that inspired the song. And I'm filled with gratitude to be able to share it with you!

✨ Please share this with anyone and everyone who you feel would benefit from hearing this song, and make sure to watch the music video!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Maya Papaya (nok nok Remix)

The troubled tremblings of civil war & the breakdown in civil discourse are on most of our minds & feeds these days. I've never experienced my family & friend groups so divided. The cohesion of our country is crumbling & the tension is palpable. I'm confident neither side truly likes where this may lead...

Please, take heed.  Not all is at it seems.  We're drunk on social mead-ia and TVs got us twisted.  There's so much more going on in the world than the closed caption pictured talking heads would suggest.  That said, I've got something to get off my chest.  

This is a piece I've been working on called "Echo Chamber." It's about recognizing we ALL, YOU & I, are being influenced by echo-chambers & advertised lies.

We're not going to get each other to change our minds by arguing online from such different starting points & frames of reference.  Instead, let's be aware of our reality bubbles & step the fuck outside this matrix screen of lies. Make hay while the sun shines.  Walk away from the screaming & find the thing inside your heart truly magnetizes you to & start doing it.   Don't inhibit anyone else's ability to do the same.  We gain little by continuing to funnel our collective energy and attention into embattled separation.  Let's take a vacation, shift the narrative & raise the vibration.

Beat: "Wrong" 
produced by j^p^n

lyrics:

with the sea levels risen 
been a rise in division
we tunin' televisions in-
two reality's different 

our social media fictions, 
r engineerin' derision

all the scrolling & clickin'
we're cherry pickin' our facts, 
emojis drawn to react
as the algorithms add
up to something we lack 
something done been subtract

only ourselves lookin' back
through a whole lot of cats. 

man We Close 
opposin' 'pinion's like they're ads
vision lapsed to cataracts
 
these cloudy liquid crystal screens
Hide a hidden hand unseen. 

pull the public puppet strings
replacin' average - with the mean
out-right liars -- govern green
Oligarchys now the scene 
& it's becomin' quite obscene. 

what happened to this dream?
this melting pot from 
sea-to-shining sea?
beneath the seemin' so serene
consequences under feet
circle stress, anxiety
no wonder we
buyin leave of our sobriety.

some rioting
while others openly admiring a tyrant, 
at the same time we deifying Kobe Bryant 
but not cryin for the climate?
that's our environment!

this bread & circus
has been bred for a purpose

get under the surface
under-current events
it takes courage 
to follow truth where it's led
upstream
from social media repent 
left & right both malcontent
wings meant for our ascent
but they keep us low instead
doing battle with our friends

our keyboards r cuttin' like swords 
spendin goodwill we can barely afford
taring into each other
pittin brother on brother 

fox news watchin' mothers.   
fearful under they covers
on the unending coverage 
of the present incumbent 

my pops glued to the numbers
Of MSNBC pundits, 

his eyes affixed to the screen
siftin' scripted bullshit
nonstop redundant 
in this world so abundant 
i just think that we're above this

Indulgent arguing cousins.  
Under the shadow of buzzards.
it's coming down to the buzzer.
but each got a piece to the puzzle

let's focus in on what's common
No one belongs on the bottom
we're all equal, all people
but humanity reluctant 
though we're sharing a compass
our locus sharing circumference
alumnus sky that's above us. 


growin' lonely from numbness
i'm speakin out from our dumbness
it doesn't come down 
to fact checkin numbers
it comes down to our oneness.

Robin Liepman (Bloom) is an earth activist musician and new paradigm pollinator. His soul's purpose is to actively re-weave the dream of the modern world into a vibrant, harmonious, regenerative and equanimous existence.

Bloom was born from the warm coastal womb of central California in San Luis Obispo, educated by the fairies and tree people at the University of California Santa Cruz with a degree in Psychology and Cognitive Science, (and a special focus on life, the universe and everything,) and initiated into the intergalactic tribe of awakening beings during his six months of travel through Central America, becoming initiated into the modern day mystery school via volunteering at an endless stream of transformational festivals. He then went on a spiritual pilgrimage through Peru and Bolivia, emerging with a strengthened sense of life path and purpose, re-visited Costa Rica, and is now on Vancouver Island in Canada for his Permaculture Design Course/Earth Activist Training with Starhawk and friends.  

He is a co-founder, co-organizer, and co-creator of the "Blooming Biodiversity" permaculture tour, which in the Fall of 2015, toured the North American West Coast with a team called “Solutionary Productions." It was a journey of healing the world through holistic integrative permaculture activations worldwide. The tour has taken him to Hawaii, and currently, to Peru, where he is planting gardens and working with Shipibo children through the Arkana Alliance organization

Somewhere in the space between Alan Watts and Aesop Rock, Atmosphere and Allen Ginsberg, Kahlil Ghibran and Kendrick Lamar...

There is a special place.

A place where the majestic backdrop of boom bap is populated by notions of prosperity and peace, where cityscapes and celestial horizons meet in a glorious display of poetic union.

This is where you’ll find Zen Tempest.
