Nestled in the northeastern region of Washington State, Penrith serves as the backdrop for the formative teenage years of Keith. Formerly known as Penrith Farms.

This place spans 220 odd acres with the true origin of the Little Spokane River as its scenic backdrop. As you come into P1, parking lot, there is a waterfall and a year-round pond nourished by the pure waters of multiple natural Atesian springs. (fun fact: Where the springs are located, there is deep purple seaweed growing in abundance.) 

It reflects the serenity and harmony that permeate the landscape, inviting you to immerse yourself in the splendor of nature. 

The centerpiece of Penrith is P1. The majestic lodge stands proudly with its vaulted ceilings, wood fireplace, and views that showcase the beauty of the surroundings.  

It serves as a sanctuary where one can find solace and inspiration, connecting with the essence of the land.  Surrounding the lodge, various out-buildings and cabins add to the charm and versatility of this exceptional property.  Each structure holds its own story.  (trust me, there are 1000's)

Penrith embodies nature's beauty. It is a place where one can escape the hectic pace of modern life and rediscover the simplicity and tranquility that the land offers.

The song Penrith captures the essence of this remarkable and magical location. 

The music weaves together elements that reflect the grandeur of the landscape and the spirit of adventure that one can feel in the air. during the cold fall mornings. 

From the vastness of the property to the gentle beat that mirrors the serenity of the pond, the song paints an auditory portrait of the Penrith experience. 

Join us on a musical journey as we celebrate Penrith, a place where dreams take flight and the possibilities are endless. Let the music transport you to this idyllic corner of the world, where nature's beauty and the allure of BrainStorm's music converge.

Behind the song:

Dedicated to the most influential pair of kindred spirits, that I have ever met. 
Jim and Sherry Brewster, may you know.... you shaped so many of us for the light. 

Growing up to become the musician that I have become, wouldn’t have been a thing had I not gone to Penrith. For it is here that the keyboardist from the Greg Khin Band (my love’s in Jeopardy, baaby ooooooooh-ooohoooo)    Would help raise me and guide my fire towards the music.  He would let me sit in his sunlit log cabin living room and pick apart the vinyl collection and he explained so much about music to me.

The album: Time Away - Xochitl
Release date: 02-02-2024 on Legacy of Thought label:

Story: 
In the hush of the night, when the celestial tapestry adorned the skies, a couple, weathered by the weight of six decades, made their way to the heart of Nexal, the capital city steeped in the ancient traditions of Maztica. Their journey began in the distant coastal town of Azcat, but an unexpected storm, fierce and untamed, had swept in from the west, delaying their progress.

Their purpose: to lay offerings at the grand pyramid of Zaltec, nestled on the holy island of the Roses. However, their footsteps fell into the rhythm of fate, and as the sun dipped beneath the horizon, casting long shadows over Nexal, the couple found themselves wandering the deserted grounds of the sacred site.

In the quietude, far removed from the fervor of daylight worshippers, they discovered a sight that would etch itself into the annals of mystery. Within a basket meticulously woven from the supple branches of the Tzalam tree, cradled a babe, a mere whisper in the symphony of the night.

Xochitl, a name whispered by destiny, lay nestled within the woven cocoon. The child, no older than two moons, held secrets only the stars above could fathom. The couple, drawn to her innocence and touched by the celestial magic lingering in the air, brought her down from the temple atop the pyramid.

For over two weeks, the elderly couple immersed themselves in the labyrinthine city of Nexal. They sought tidings of the parents of the babe, making inquiries in every corner, and each evening returning to the summit of the pyramid, hoping for a reunion that seemed destined to elude them.

On the fifteenth evening, as the sun cast its final golden hues over the grandeur of Nexal, the couple stood once more at the apex of the pyramid. A profound stillness draped over them, and in that sacred moment, a voice, soft as a zephyr yet mighty as a tempest, resonated behind them. It was a woman's voice, the embodiment of celestial love, which both froze and warmed their bodies simultaneously.

The voice spoke of destiny woven into the fabric of the cosmos. It commanded them to be the parents that fate had chosen them to be, to take Xochitl under their wings and cherish her as their own. As the celestial command unfolded, they found themselves unable to turn, their gaze fixated on the city below. The voice whispered the name "Xochitl" like a gentle breeze through the leaves, leaving an indelible mark on their souls.

When they could finally turn, the city sprawled before them in quiet reverence. Yet, on the altar behind them, a rose bush had bloomed, its petals unfolding in celestial harmony. From its branches dangled two feathered daggers, as if they were the fruits of this mystical plant. A silent understanding passed between the couple as they approached, taking the daggers as both a birthright and a legacy.

With Xochitl cradled in their arms, they embarked on a journey back to Azcat, guided by the echo of the celestial voice and the celestial daggers, carrying the weight of an ancient destiny.

Time Away - Xochitl

In the hushed serenity of winter's embrace, the ethereal melodies of the Melody of Broken Cake Plates gently weave a tapestry of mellow, soft, and melancholic snow songs. Born from a deep connection to the quiet beauty of winter landscapes, the Melody of Broken Cake Plates's music captures the essence of snowfall and the delicate dance of frost-kissed moments.

The essence of the Melody of Broken Cake Plates's sound lies in the delicate fusion of acoustic warmth and the crystalline purity of winter's touch. The hauntingly tender compositions invite listeners to immerse themselves in a world where time slows down, and every note is a snowflake gently settling on the soul.

Celestial Trax returns with new work of tonal-textural explorations.
On 'Lifecodes' the producer born Joni Judén weaves together a dense quilt of sound, shimmering and surging as it unfolds in free-time. Judén invites the listener down a luminous, harmonically adventurous path, where sound takes creaturely dimensions. The songs blossom and wilt, at times floating in states of ambivalence, at others washing over the listener like waves, bathing them in heavy light.

'Lifecodes' was created in the small village of Pynnölä, Joutsa in central Finland, where Celestial Trax has been living and working since 2020.
