journey music

Throughout human history and across most native traditions, constant repetitive rhythms and the steady drone of chanting have carried shamans and other spiritual seekers into other dimensions in ecstatic trance. Even today, this music, as ancient as the rocks and wind, provides sacred transport to higher states of well being and bliss. Attaining the Shante Ishta is the goal of this journey. This is the “single eye of the heart," the third eye or wisdom eye of the ancients--the shaman's eye. It is the place where the individual soul attunes to the collective, universal heartbeat that unites us all.

Shaman's Eye brims with multi-layered currents of sound and chanting woven around a steady stream of theta rhythms. These provocative rhythms are designed to tap into our own ancestral depths and call us into the secret worlds of trance. Each of these musical landscapes is alive with its own distinctive spirit energy. As they carry us forward they become the vehicle for our journeys.

In the true spirit of musical alchemy, Amani Friend blends his technical skills with his innate understanding of the power of sound and vibration to heal and transform. With deep reverence, he weaves the strands of pan-global percussive and melodic expressions, sacred chants, and the atmospheres of nature around the steady heartbeat of trance to inspire inner journeys.

My musical journey began long time ago. I began to sing when I was about 15 years old. Most of the time I sing in glossolalia – it`s the easiest way to express myself. I love singing tones, creating polyphony singing and playing different musical instruments. 

Besides my own works I love to collaborate with other musicians on different projects. If you have an idea or think that my voice could fit your music, then contact me.

NEW THE ART PLATINE is my new - one woman project - and will be dedicated to more rough electronic, industrial and dark ambient sounds. And I will, of course, build my voice into it.

For collaboration requests and further information contact me here on my site or e-mail me: music-to-marilyn@gmx.de
