Rebel Diver (feat. Austyn)

This cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World is a hybrid cohesion of free-form electro to a reinvented mashup of two popular classics.

Heartbeat

Proem to Dharma Gypsy

The accomplished whole echoes feat in mazes of never calm.
The stratosphere wide continuing dissonance of that attainable.
A gypsy dances the midnight hour and writes until his fingers cry red.
Dramatic realpolitik operas and spiritual indelibility; fellow atrophy and God.
Lay tongue to contemporary man's dispute with universal concurrence.
Doors of perception magnify relevance; our time as spiritual being comes close.

The red covers the paper and trickles down the side of his arm in lengthy vibration.
Sound is formed, a thick gelatin blob of atmospheric time travel.
A palate of absurdity met in recycled light.
Drips from washed-out tunnels of dharma subconscious in streaks of nostalgia.
The gypsy furls his legs in rainbow knots, and the lotus hums.
We are reentering the universe, a path in which holiness engraves ritual.

We seek passage to realms of evolutionary counterpoint.
We seek acceptance into our dreams from our dreams.
We seek that of nature which immaculates God.
A time not now that has always been,
We seek that of which we infinitely seek within.

Dharma Gypsy

Sunburn Tokyo

Loryn, AKA Lorin Drexler, is an American music producer, singer, guitarist and songwriter. Rooted from the windy city of Chicago and currently residing in Phoenix, Arizona, he has performed coast to coast in cities from New York to California. Experimental in nature, provocative in metaphor and mellifluous in sound, art truly is music and the ritual of his practice.

Writing freelance poetry at the age of 15 began the footwork of these projections and aspirations to create sound. Having an interest in lyrical poetry, his desire progressed to songwriting and picking up a guitar. At 18, he formed a transitory first band, The Screaming Poets. Shortly after, while attending Columbia College Chicago for creative writing, organized another project called Satori. This group featured an accoutrement of musicians and styles over the course of its existence. From indie folk to punkish hard rock to downtempo electronica, it was its own versatile caravan.

Post-Satori and a plethora of songs later, he was initiated into the world of electronic music production and engineering, getting hands on with computer software and a keyboard controller. Furthering his advancement in the technological arts, he attended SAE Institute located in the heart of New York City.

The introduction to electronic music was a seed planted many years ago while working with a friend producer and DJ. Over the years, that seed developed into a unique cohesion of computer production with organic artifacts. This elemental form of designing music is now becoming of this artist.

Loryn has performed alongside artists such as Local H and Rusted Root frontman, Michael Glabicki. He has played multiple street festivals and parades, venues as extravagant as the Art Institute of Chicago and the Double Door and worked with avant-garde theater giants, Collaboraction, as outsourced musical talent.
