Fall 2020 - Quarantine Edition

Chill

This was the first night recording for the Deep Playa Wonderings 2014 mobile sound art project. I was joined by Caleb Jay Epstein and my father in our trek out to deep playa to the Pachamama Portal Earth Healing Vortex. This installation had amazing sound and geometrical inspiration for the premier song of this project.

Journey to the Deep - Pachamama Portal

The magic of the playa is something that amazes me. In my 10th year on the playa I'm always shocked that once I step foot into the inner playa, I feel like I never left...its just a continuation from the years past.  In that same way, i dedicate this song to that magic that rebirth's the playa for us every year.

Playa Rebirth - Pachamama Portal

in our wilderness,
where hearts condemn us;
the world alternates.
we dance alone.

in our wilderness

Sharing a beautiful evening of community with my parents neighbors. This song's intention named by Sophia is 'Calm'. She loves bouncing on the suspended chair to give the lights a bouncing effect. We enjoyed her trampoline earlier and that bouncing also inspired me throughout the song. There are many types of calm in our daily lives, lets be thankful for finding calm in those strings of moments.

Strings of calm

"...The characteristics of communitas show it to be almost beyond strict definition, with almost endless variations.  Communitas often appears unexpectedly.  It has to do with a sense felt by a group of people when their life together takes on full meaning....Communitas can only be conveyed through stories...." 
-Edith Turner-

Thank you to all who sent messages and positive vibes yesterday when I was having a hard day. Through out the day with different interactions of my various communities and friends, I found joy and my happy place through communitas. Through all of these interaction rituals we can fill our hearts with collective joy. Thank you again for the power of healing through mutual focus. Abrazos!!!

Yay For Magic!!!

My homage to 11/11/2020. 11:11 has been a number that has guiding me this past two years in times of transition. I saw a quote that resonates this intention with something that I am trying to re-connect with.....
"Set Magical Intentions and WelcomeOpportunity"

Whether its the magic of Monarchdipity, synchronicity, or musical entrainment, we need to connect with that magical part of ourselves that manifests change. Here is my part 'a' to the 11:11 sound meditation intention dedication.
