Composed original soundtrack for new Beckley Waves podcast- The Trip Report.
Mixed and mastered by Rollin Weary.

The Trip Report is a podcast and newsletter about the business, science, and policy developments of the evolving psychedelic field. While the main organizing theme is psychedelics, it is really about the many different domains that are converging to bring about this field and the assembly of what many believe to be a “New Paradigm” in science, medicine, and our understanding of the human experience. Our goal is to foster an educated and informed psychedelic ecosystem, and to do that, we will feature in-depth conversations with scientists, entrepreneurs, investors and stakeholders at the forefront of the psychedelic renaissance.

TRIP REPORT - EXTENDED

overall I think the drums sound too fake
- quantization loses the looseness but was too loose so fine letting it go 
- tone of the kick and snare sound like samples were triggered. Prefer much drier snare and let the e drums take over

Instruments and remixes completed in Chicago, IL. Final mix and master completed on a ferry from Belfast to Scotland.

Straight out of the synth, no processing...apart from a little bit of Ableton Delay.

Vermona Perfourmer Polyphonic Chords

KAVA performs psychedelic music. Since the group formed in 2010 the group has continuously developing their sound and takes a fresh approach to each recording while keeping the overall psychedelic vibe in place. 

Check out the playlists below. 
KAVA EP- our first recording. More heavy rock based
Lakeside Melodies Sampler- created as a giveaway for our Summer Camp performance. All instrumental, improvisation 
Live at IVL Chicago- 3 song EP combining blues, electronics and 60s era psych rock
Shikaakwa- LP recorded live in the studio. No overdubs. 
Seperations- our second 'retreat' EP. Minimalist psychedelic instrumentals all taken from weekend of improvisation during our second visit to Lakeside Melodies. Then completed after Ryan and Wilson moved from Chicago with the help of google hangout and dropbox.
Transmissions- completely recorded remotely. Electro-psych.
Prophet Bob- Coming soon. Entire album was created from an afternoon of improvisation at Gunpoint Studios in Chicago in memory of our friend Bob Popp.
