Tongue In Groove

As I stepped onto the Earth Stage at the Texas Eclipse Festival 2024, a rush of excitement flooded through me. It was an honor beyond words to have the opportunity to share my music with the vibrant souls gathered under the canopy of Texas skies. Little did I know that the next few hours would be a journey of transcendence, as the energy of the crowd surged and swirled around us.

The crowd began as a humble gathering, but as the beats echoed through the air, it seemed to grow exponentially, swelling to a couple of thousand souls united by their love for music and the promise of connection. It was as if the very essence of the festival came alive in that moment, pulsating with anticipation and possibility.

As I delved into my set, the energy of the crowd became palpable, a tangible force that seemed to weave its way through the air, connecting each person in a shared experience of euphoria. The music served as our conduit, guiding us on a journey of exploration and self-discovery.

With each beat, each melody, the energy began to coalesce into a tribal frenzy, a rhythmic dance of heaving souls seeking enlightenment through the transformative power of sound. It was a beautiful chaos, a symphony of movement and emotion that transcended language and culture.

As the night unfolded, I found myself lost in the moment, swept up in the collective energy of the crowd. Together, we danced beneath the stars, our spirits soaring as we surrendered ourselves to the music, to each other, and to the magic of the festival.

The next day, in those fleeting hours, time seemed to stand still as we basked in the glow of the Texas Eclipse, our hearts and minds open to the infinite possibilities that lay before us.  I knew that I had experienced something truly special—a moment of pure connection and communion that would stay with me long after the festival had ended.

Performing at the Texas Eclipse Festival 2024 was more than just a gig; it was a privilege, a gift, a chance to be a part of something greater than myself. And as I stepped off the stage, heart full and soul alight, I knew that I would carry the memory of that night with me forever, a reminder of the power of music to unite, to inspire, and to transform.

Texas Eclipse Festival 2024 Set

The set that was rumored to be for Tipper. In the Android Jones & team's MultiversalME Microdose VR CHIMERA art dome, right before Skysia & Orenda. I walked in with my gear, right place and right time, and landed the golden set time. 

This was definitely a peak DJ experience for me. I had just finished my ecstatic dance set at the yoga & movement stage, so I was warmed up and ready for this. I walked into the dome as they were kicking people up to prepare the space for the night, and intuitively asked if they needed a DJ that night, and was met with an enthusiastic YES WE NEED A DJ! I didn't have time to tell anyone, so I had a dome full of people either there to see Of The Trees, Tipper, or Skysia & Orenda, plus people who happened to gravitate to the dome at that time. 

Huge thanks to everyone who made this happen!

Inspired by a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico.  From bus rides to rooftop dining to sunset walks to dancing barefoot in the sand, this is a reflection of all the moments that made the experience un sueño (a dream).  Thanks to the special woman that shared a dream with me.

The visionary sounds of Icaro are harnessed and transmitted by Jeff Beck and Pat Walsh. Incorporating ancient techniques and traditions to obtain visionary states, they have tapped into the matrix of creation and have brought their own icaros to life through connection with the spirit body.
They aim to help this planet transcend to a higher realm of consciousness and bestow infinitude and blissful ineffitude upon the masses. We are all connected, we are all one, we are all love, pure and infinite.

:::Soundscapes channeled through the planetary offerings of cosmic spirits:::
:::Transcribed with the intent of catalyzing our universal love into a wave of conscious energy:::
:::Invoke the internal, ancient wisdom; Resonate with the collective vibration:::

4. Moyen Thyme
(Written by Taylor Willis and Milo Hayden)

Another stellar example of how important having a writing buddy is. Moyen Thyme was orginally written in a hexagonal cabin in the woods of Deadwood, OR. The original song was a study in dub… but didn’t have any groove, or direction, and frankly lagged. In an effort to spice it up, I plugged Taylor through a series of insane dub effects while he played his guitar. Things kept on getting trippier… and while trying to figure out what to pair with the guitar, Jason Bailey came up. I knew Jason Bailey through his stellar stage management at What The Festival 2015, and Taylor knew Jason because he lived in Eugene before moving up to Portland. We gushed about his dulcimer playing and then we simultaneously decided that he *HAD* to play on Moyen Thyme. I got in touch with Jason, and he helped arrange a recording session at Sprout City Studios down in Eugene. Taylor remotely sent me his new arrangement of the track and it was a total banger. Jason was both the engineer for the session AND played the dulcimer. We had the help of two stellar interns Jasper and Raven… and the session finished ahead of time. With Jason’s playing the track suddenly had a life of it’s own, and is a testament to the having the right people in the right place at the right time. Moyen Thyme wouldn’t be possible without him. Thanks Jason!

Gentle beats with a little more emotion.
