i am amazed at how spectacular your music is...wow

Akasha is the third offering of the Kuya Sessions. Cura led us on a shamanic journey of body-centered awareness. Our journey continued in Samadhi, unifying individual and universal consciousness. We are now prepared to enter the exquisitely ethereal realm of Akasha. The gentle welcoming melody in “Path of Illumination” relaxes us in preparation for our journey. Vocalist Meagan Chandler sings four of the ninety-nine names of Allah as Poranguí sings four names of god in different African traditions. This invocation, joining male and female and diverse cultural traditions, serves as a prayer for protection as we gradually remove the veil and dissolve into the cosmic memory of divine consciousness. We are becoming formless, egoless, as we float in the liminal space between life and death. The cosmos slows down. Vulnerable and open to the benevolent pulse of the universe, we are drawn into the inner sanctum of the akashic womb. 

In “Eternal Horizons” a soothing female voice, accompanied by cello and piano, sings a sailor’s folk song, guiding us deeper into the sea of love and loss, encouraging us to surrender more, to shed that which no longer serves. We know that we must let go in order to move on, that we must metaphorically die in order to be reborn, the eternal return. As we sail towards the event horizon and pass the point of no return, we are greeted by a gentle male voice that embraces us in compassion as it slowly delivers us to a brand new world, where we are bathed in peace, love, and understanding. 

It is time to come home to the “Heart of the Mother,” where we can integrate our cosmic journey in the warm arms of our beloved Pachamama. From our experience of ethereal awareness, we have come to truly know in the deepest depths of souls that everything is being held as is meant to be, that we are safe and whole, that we are protected by the supreme love of energetic forces that lie beyond the beyond. We see that our own capacity for love, as fragile as our earthly bodies and yet as infinite as the akashic realm of which it is a part, makes an essential contribution to the unfolding divine plan.

Embedded within the sonic signature of the world’s oldest musical lineages and enhanced with field recordings and samples from across the globe, Kuya Sessions: Akasha is best experienced in its Journey Mix format, where the boundaries between the three movements are as ephemeral as the voyage itself. In preparation for embarking on this ritualistic path, one is invited to create an environment for inner-exploration with the help of a quiet and dark room, headphones, an eye mask, and an intention of healing and discovery. 

Akasha draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, field recordings, Celtic runes, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s magical, multi-dimensional sound. Distilled from the intention of providing listeners a path toward healing and a safe space from which to embark on that odyssey, Kuya Sessions: Akasha will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance. 

The Kuya Sessions were created by Poranguí and Liquid Bloom for Kuya, in support of paradigm-shifting medicine and therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love. Akasha offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing, and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of Kuya and the artists.

It was on a night of ceremony and ritual to activate our inner Goddess in honor of the birth of the divine Muse Jena La Flamme that I lay down this mix inspired by the raw Shakti pulsing through us, my sensual energy alive inside, drinking in the feminine medicine, my pulse pounding to the raw primal beat that sources from within.

Liquid Bloom DJ Set @ Rhythm Sanctuary, Jan 2nd 2020 - Ecstatic Dance

This is the mix from my first official DJ set, in Costa Rica with such a vibrant community of dancers celebrating life and moving  to the rhythm of all of creation. 

Many people from around the world came to the area for the Envision festival, and are still here, dancing through the pandemic. The energy was full of love and celebration of life, as everyone dropped into that sacred space of embodying the music as the cosmos danced through.   

Proceeds funded water protection efforts to stop mining companies from polluting the Baru River in Costa Rica, and also supported the Conscious Collectivo NGO for Earth regeneration projects, school for local children, creating community gardens, more events, the Baru River Water Protection project.   

May this mix be medicine to you, wherever you are in the world, and whatever you’re going through. Please comment and let me know how it moves you.

A reflective journey through more than a decade of sound born from the spirit of Liquid Bloom and friends, ambient music producer Tylepathy opens the sonic portal to cosmic wanderers and inner explorers with his ethereal and soothing ‘One With Nature’ remix album. Suspended in the boundless space beyond beats, this eight-track collection showcases a holographic dimension contained within all Liquid Bloom productions and invites listeners to bathe in the relaxing medium of pure ambient sound. As we are whisked from one elemental landscape to another, we are reminded of the power of the mind to shape supportive spaces with even the most subtle of inspirations, making ‘One With Nature’ not only a potent tool for meditation and personal healing, but a testament to the vast and creative forces of human consciousness
