Consumerism is a track coming out on the eve of Ms. Hill's release. She wanted to get this music out while she was incarcerated, as it is a product of the space she was in while she was going through some of the challenges she has been faced with recently.

Available now on iTunes: http://bit.ly/MLH_C
Lyrics: http://mslaurynhill.tumblr.com/post/63565382195
 
"Consumerism is part of some material I was trying to finish before I had to come in. We did our best to eek out a mix via verbal and emailed direction, thanks to the crew of surrogate ears on the other side. Letters From Exile is material written from a certain space, in a certain place. I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural paradigm as I saw it. I haven't been able to watch the news too much recently, so I'm not hip on everything going on. But inspiration of this sort is a kind of news in and of itself, and often times contains an urgency that precedes what happens. I couldn't imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking it's level."

To have a muse, in person or in spirit, is an artist's greatest yet most fickle gift. This closes the loop, completing a set of 3.

Musical Energy: A Transformational Journey via Digital Violin. A special collection of magical performance moments captured during Dixon's recent North American tours.

I am so excited to share this music with you! It has now been 2 years since I left the corporate world to followup this dream full-time, and likewise 2 years since my last CD. So much has changed - it's a completely new world, and I feel like the luckiest person alive! I am so grateful to you all for listening and spreading the word, and to the folks that create the spaces where I can share what I do live.

Special thanks to my Love, Leslie "Light Bearer" Blackburn - you are my goddess, my sweetie. I am honored to be your Jade Dragon.

M. Geddes Gengras - "Ishi" June 24th
180g 12" tip-on _ CD & digital include 40min bonus 'Vigil'
http://www.stonesthrow.com/store/album/mgg/ishi

“No dream, no wildest nightmare, prefigured for Ishi a city crowd, its clamor, its endless hurrying past to be endlessly replaced by others of its kind, face indistinguishable from face.”

- Theodora Kroeber, from Ishi: In Two Worlds


M. Geddes Gengras has inhabited the Los Angeles experimental music scene for the last 7 years, bouncing through various bands, monikers, and a critically acclaimed collaboration with Sun Araw and The Congos. The producer perhaps shines most brightly, however, when left to his own bespoke devices. His solo work is largely based in modular synthesis, comfortably straddling a variety of forms while remaining rooted in a deep affinity for the limitations of analog electronics and a keen ear for timbral manipulation.


Ishi finds the producer diving headlong into beautiful, sprawling ambient explorations and deep, mystical drone. Its title is the name given to “the last wild Indian” in North America, who emerged in 1911 at the age of 49. Hidden all his life in the wilderness of northern California, Ishi spent most of his life completely unexposed to the modern world lurking just beyond his own timeless reality. His only exposure to the “civilized” world came from Gold Rush settlers, whom he watched massacre and disease each and every member of his family and tribe, until he alone remained. When he was found, communication between the miraculous survivor and this strange new world was understandably difficult and frightening— but the knowledge gained through the process proved invaluable.


Sometimes the most effective and direct means of communication and understanding exist outside of human language. Gengras’ highly expressive instrumental record reveals itself via sweeping tonal gestures and striking, intensely colorful washes of heavily processed electronic sound. “Ambient” is insufficient to describe the uniquely evocative soundtrack presented here, a lushly nuanced sound world generated directly from the deeply personal relationship between one man and his meticulously cultivated machines.


“The record is about the schism that exists between the world we live in and those stuck on the margins of it— perpetual outsiders and their quest to understand the torrent of information they are constantly subjected to. I was directly inspired to these pieces by two people in my orbit who died this year, one accidentally and one not, both of whom suffered this affliction and eventually lost their lives to it. The music was a reaction to these losses and a sort of offering of something peaceful but at the same time respectful of the conflict and dissonance of life, with movement always in the distance. I look at it as music for passage between different realms, conscious & un, this world & another, layers of reality... ISHI is a metaphor for that— the man who walks into our world understanding none of it but forced to live in it regardless. This is somewhere in between a prayer and a lullaby for him and for the rest of them, but also something for those of us left behind.” - M. Geddes Gengras

With squelchy delight, Shanti Planti is proud to release the first premier of a two part VA – Rhythm Code. Featuring 15 producers from the USA, France, UK, Australia and New Zealand, this VA is soaked in dreamy eastern instrumentals, squidgy crunches and soul shaking bass lines. Rhythm Code showcases a mind expanding stew of psydub and midtempo treasures. Each track was donated without intention of individual profit but in means to support expansion and to help sustain the auditory collective, Shanti Planti.

Recorded live during the DAMNED show in Detroit in October 2014, which is an amazing "exhibition of enlightened darkness" that I've been honored to be a part of since it's inception (see http://www.thatdamnedshow.com).  In addition to stunning visual art, there are performance vignettes throughout the evening by some of the areas most creative and talented performers.  I highly recommend the event - there really isn't anything else like it in the country.

I provided the musical backdrop for each of the performances this particular night, and the music was entirely improvised based on the energy each vignette suggested.  Towards the end of the evening I co-created with a dear friend, Ms. Chantal, of Masala Dances (see http://masaladances.com), who provided a stunning movement performance...while covered in mud.  The effect was amazingly dramatic and the audience was mesmerized - although it was actually freezing cold for her!  It was truly a magical artistic moment, I'm thrilled that the audio recording of it turned out, and I'm honored to share it with you.

-------------------------------------

I am so grateful and honored to be sharing musical energy full-time now as a performing artist! I left the corporate world at the end of 2010, having chosen to pursue my authentic calling. I feel more on path and alive than ever! I love it AND it’s really hard work... and I could use your help! I am offering this track for free, and if you can afford more than that, it greatly helps me on this path! Other ways you can help are listed at http://www.dixonsviolin.com/support-dixon.html

Thank you so much for your support!

- Dixon

07. Lindsey Stirling  - River Flows In You

This is the first song from my upcoming EP collaboration with "Rising Appalachia".  If you dont know who they are, I recommend that you educate yourself swiftly as they are the JAM;  Beautiful, elegant, sultry sisters from the South.  

Leah and Chloe play Fiddle, Banjo, Guitar, and create eloquent vocal harmonies that melt my heart.  We met 4 years ago in India and have reconnected to blend our sounds together.

They compose original music as well as traditional music from around the world.  This song "Sunu" is an african/appalachian fusion piece.  

We have had several rag tag recording sessions around the US (pictures coming soon hehe) and have had some of the most fun I have ever had in my life collaborating.  The Joy I have in my heart when I create this music is inexplicable in words.  This project makes me feel bliss.  

We're working on a full live performance also which is....dare I say.... mucho legendary

Love,
David

You've never heard violin like this!  The world's premier visionary violinist, Dixon's life mission is to inspire people - and he has done so across North America, including giving four TED talks/performances, over ten years at Burning Man and Electric Forest, plus radio, TV, and film appearances.  A former technology leader and symphony violinist, Dixon walked away from a distinguished career to follow his dream full-time, and invented a whole new music genre.  Dixon now improvises on a 5-string electric violin with a looping system he developed to create an all-live one-man symphony, guided by his remarkable personal story of life transformation.
