each of these strokes represent the ups and down of life, while continuous groove at the baseline kind of represents how life goes on. Just a thought.

really son mas que un grupo son un eje de cambio, identifikation shouiw 🎐

Breathwork & relax

We are grateful to have him as a part of our FREETHINKERS & FREE>QUENCY program, which showcases the individuals we believe are the true pioneers within their industries. 

Listen to his stirring, ethereally melodic piece of music specially made for CARAVANA.

Grieving A Dream

A portion of our live set as we began to warm up for another 2 hours of flight.
As always, thank you for lending us your precious ears.

Indeed, many great performances have been recorded, and we are glad to have them. But I think the greatest performances always elude, the camera, the tape recorder, the pen. They happen in the middle of the night when the musician plays for one special friend under the moonlight, they happen in the dress rehearsal just before the play opens. The fact that improvisation vanishes makes us appreciate that every moment of life is unique - a kiss, a sunset, a dance , a joke. None will ever recur in quite the same way. Each happens only once in the history of the universe. - Stephen Nachmanovitch

This very unique trio of music, souls and minds, is Eduardo Castillo's new LIVE project. Eager to expand and build on his musical reach and scope, Eduardo, has brought these very talented friends and multi instrumental musicians together to explore the potential of each of their own immense talents, only to realize, when playing and listening as an ensemble, a very powerful force came alive. Influenced by sounds and music of all reaches of the planet, and Eduardo's decades of electronic music exploration, the frequencies that are produced by this very unique troupe of musicians, are truly on another level of performance and experience.

MARDELEVA - Welasaba - Recorded live in LA 3.9.19

Children of War 
LIVE - Tulum 
Inspired by our dear Bogdan (violin) born in Serbia and raised in a war torn country.  As I imagined his childhood , and the sounds of the terror, I also envision him playing this beautiful and haunting violin and singing, doing all he can to put war behind him and allowing peace to reign in the hearts of his people.  Bogdan, is not only a source of immeasurable inspiration for me, but also one of the most humble and real humans I have had the honor of knowing. Listen as he loses himself in his instrument and emotions, never however, losing the intensity of his intention.  to accompany him is the powerful voice of a gifted woman born to express herself through singing. I have had the honor of working with her several times and each time, she elevated any experience to new heights.  I feature Pasale Caristo on this piece. Listen and let her take you to the depths of a dark but  inspiring human condition.  As always, thank you for listening.  All major digital stores /Spotify release July 23.

MARDELEVA - Children Of War - Live

This is the soundtrack I made for the Psychedelic Breath session I did with the amazing Eva Kaczor at The Monastery Festival of The Gardens of Babylon. 

I can still see myself standing there, overlooking that beautiful big barn. This was for sure one of the most powerful musical experiences I have ever experienced on stage. Normally during my sets I have the tendency to fly. The music takes me away, energies rise, and I enter a state of flow where everything just happens naturally. This is a beautiful thing! What made this sound journey so different was that instead of flying I was feeling very grounded. This groundedness enabled me to really deeply experience this journey and it’s impact on us. Sharing this with so many people at the same time makes it so much stronger.   

It is crazy how something so fundamental to our lives, our breath, becomes such a powerful tool when used consciously. This technique is a shortcut to enter a sort of dreamy state in your brain, in which you are neither awake nor asleep: the theta state. This meditative state is the gateway to your creativity, learning and intuition, and it allows you to access the power of your unconscious mind.

PSYCHEDELIC BREATH is Eva Kaczor’s own mix of dynamic breathing techniques from ancient traditions and contemporary science fused with evocative electronic music sets, she creates in collaboration with artists such as Acid Pauli and Birds of Mind. Both, deep breathing as well as electronic music, have the power to alter your state of consciousness and let you access higher realms of awareness. 

I was deeply touched by the reactions after the session. I have never seen so many people in tears of love and joy. Thank you

There are 11 cycles in the sound journey each cycle consisting of dynamic and relaxing sections. In the dynamic sections there is a deep beat you breathe intensely. The relaxing section is more ambient and you let your breath out and then finally hold it in before you enter the dynamic section of the new cycle. If you listen carefully you can hear a windchime/bell which indicates that the journey is moving into the next dynamic or relaxing section. Enjoy

Chillout downtempo beats.  The gates have only just opened.

Chillout Gates Opening @ Karma Love Camp, Burning Man 2019

My very first set at Burning Man 2019 at the Entheos Bazaar, an oriental-style decorated space which I curated as part of the Entheos camp, our gift to the citizen of Black Rock City.

Incredible experience! I recreated an atmosphere of an ancient bazaar through desert and ethereal sounds, which I have been researching for a while before bringing them on playa. 

It was amazing to see random burners passing by the bazaar attracted first by the music and then discovering the world of body painting, scent corner and essences, clothing boutique and chill out area with cushions and sofas where they could take a bit of rest or protect themselves from the sun and the heat during the day.

Enjoy my first ride on playa.

Feeling your heartbeat sore with your dreams.
You fall asleep in my arms to the music you inspire me to write.
I love you my angel.

Nômade by Leo Prakash & Manu Pelliza

Whenever I have uninterrupted time with brothers, to create something from nothing, I'm reminded of how precious life is.
Here are 35 mins of such time.

We pressed record and played.  As aways with Mardeleva, improvisation is everything.

Thank you for lending me your ears.

EFIMERO 0 INFINITO

Eduardo Castillo’s music encompasses his depth in the study of the industry and influences stemming from a South American and European upbringing. His studies in music compositions, orchestration and opera provide him with a vast understanding of harmonies, dynamics, and musical textures. Eduardo uses a subtle ethnomusicologist’s approach to music. His record collection reads like a music history book. In fact, his eclecticism is quite enticing. Sounds of Jazz, Avant-Garde, Middle Eastern, South American, Afro-Cuban folk, Soul, Funk, and Electronic Minimalism, can be heard in his compositions, his singing, his dj sets, and his playing of instruments, whether in their pure from or intertwined with down, mid and up-tempo electronic treatments. Ultimately, simplicity is what Eduardo strives for. An effort is always made to have fresh, organic sound while inevitably providing touches of technological advances shaping music today, never overwhelming and always sophisticated and tasteful.

Eduardo's mission is to always become a storyteller from beginning to end. Every record he plays has a very important intention. The music in his selections does not just fill time, it weaves in and out with dynamic and texture. The music and his improvisational live shows are brush strokes on a canvas that once he's reached the end, will look like a world of realism and fantasy all in one. He's a master at layering the musical with the technical and the surreal with the real.

Eduardo always leaves an indelible mark with his style and impeccable understanding of his environment.
