AMBIENT/TECHNO

(Seeing is Perceiving)
Something has changed, it's all rearranged
(I'm waving while you're leaving)
"I'm only a speck," reality check!
(Here comes another)
Come as you are, show me the scar
(Seeing through each other)
Keep filling me in while you're under my skin

Stoke the fire while the embers are hot
Or it will burn out baby, like it or not.
Better smile for a while and embrace your strife,
Cause it never lasts forever even if it's for life.
Thinking of things so softly implied
Makes the night twice as long and my dreams twice as wide.
Tell me, once you find me, will you let me be me?
Are you trying to bind me, or set me free?

Haven't you heard? I got nothing to hide.
I'll rip my heart open, letcha peek inside.
Lay it down straight, there's no need to pretend.
Th-the words may be difficult to comprehend.
Sometimes the truth is hard to say.
Sometimes the best way to Love is to walk away.
Whatcha gonna tell me when we get to the end?
Thank You For Playing

-Please Try Again-

If I had known
I would have stayed home alone
If I had known
I would have hung up the phone!
If I had known
I would have brought down the tone...
I wish I had known.
It's been a long, long time since I felt at home.

Thank you, thank you for all you've done.
I hope you had fun.
Thank you, thank you for all you've said,
Even though it turned me on my head.
Thank who for who you are:
A bright, bright shining star.

Thank you for just being you.
There's nothing else to do.

Nah, really though.

The Great Mystery is the latest full length album by the Desert Dwellers, and it is truly a jet setting piece of work. The 12-track collection was predominately recorded on the road, in airports, airplanes, and hotel rooms and finished in multiple studios in multiple countries. Even the live recordings were done with various musicians and singers from around the world in rooms ranging from Berlin to Santa Cruz over the past 2 years. This release is a special one, because it’s the first fully realized album of all original music that Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe have produced together, even though it is the 8th full album in the Desert Dwellers catalog, along with countless singles, eps, and remixes. 

The title of the album is derived from a Terrance McKenna quote, “Life is like a moment, we’re born out of a mystery, and we die into a mystery.” The duo notes, “Life and Death are great mysteries and we felt that was a pretty amazing theme to go with.” The album also features a talented cast of collaborators including Rick Hunter playing Oud, singer Megan Chandler, violinist HÄANA, Ixchel Prisma, Anuradha Genrich, and a host of others. The duo also worked with notable engineers including Torin Goodnight (Bird Of Prey), Benjamin Last (Temple Step Project), Yulu Fershtat (Perfect Stranger), and James Lumb (of Electric Skychurch Fame) who did analog summing that really transformed the sound quality of the album. 

The diverse recording locations are just as mixed as the albums vast range of musical inspirations. The pair’s musical palate spans from classical world music to psychedelic rock, all forms of hypnotic deep electronic music, reggae and dub, to pop and everything in between. The duo enthusiastically state, “Its always been a dream to create an album that embodied many of the styles we resonate most with, and The Great Mystery is that album!” They add, “When it comes to electronic music we have always refused to be ‘genrefied’ and this album goes on the complete journey from our classic tribal downtempo grooves to tribal techno, psychedelic trance, dubstep and ambient, all under one unified sound.”

III: Autumné is designed to take you deep into a full-spectrum sonic meditation, composed at 432hz. For an initial exposure, try the hi-rez audio file on some quality speakers with a subwoofer, or on really good headphones. Close your eyes and drop into the otherworld. I infused this Episode with deep and lush fall sounds, and the mood of the changing of the seasons from autumn to winter into to hibernation, peace and quiet. Autumn brings inspiration for change and transformation. I recorded violin, vocals, and incorporated electronic production on synths, deep bass frequencies, muted heartbeat drums and sound effects. I also recorded sound effects from the hills of northern California: crunching leaves, waving grass, and wind textures and bird songs.

III is 10 minutes long--perfect for a #take10 meditation, a little background music for studying/writing, or chilling out at the end of your day. The deep bass frequencies ground you and the textures tie you into the inspiring autumn emotions of change and transformation. You know that you've meditated exactly 10 minutes when the track is up (no need for a timer, or for your brain to worry that you've sat too long or too little.)

Try this for a week: meditating to III: Autumné every morning (or evening) for 10 minutes. If you have breathing techniques or deep relaxation tricks you normally use, bring those into play, and let your mind melt away on sound. And see how you feel.

New to meditation? Here's some further guidance to get you started:
1. Carve out 10 minutes of your morning. Choose a comfortable seat with feet flat on the floor. 
2. Get ready. Put your headphones on, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. Relax.
3. Press play on III: Autumné and relax into the sound frequencies. Bring your awareness to your breath and the music. After your sound journey, take a few more deep breaths, gently open your eyes, and see how you feel.

Thank you for joining me on this DEEP journey. In the autumn, leaves fall from trees effortlessly--and so allow yourself to let go of whatever you can shed right now, with very little effort. I would love to hear about your experiences with these sound journeys: send me an email at haana@deepsonos.com.
