HOLY LION’S GATE…wow, this is musically my favorite set I’ve ever shared! A full-spectrum flow from tribal, organic and global to bassy, deep and sensual. Roaring with ecstatic devotion.

I’m getting to taste the nectars of my growth as an artist, meeting creative edges in curating a true wave, becoming more courageous with mixing genres and throwing bolder transitions.

I didn’t stop smiling this whole journey, heart blasted open, and I’m beyond grateful for the gorgeous humans who came out to dance and share the fullness of their expression on this powerful day of expansion.

Feeling so deeply how the land where I live in both inspiring and deepening my artistry, and how the abundant waters are coursing through my channel in sacred flow states.

Sincere gratitude to all the supporters, dancers, listeners, and artists who created this epic music medicine!

Lion's Gate Ecstatic Dance @ Mandala Springs

Now here´s something little different from my usual instrumentation, only one guitar, no echos, delays and such mess. I just wanted to get a few `introverted things´ purely into music, some meandering stuff...probably somehow familiar ;-)
The chord going was almost structured, the concrete playing, 1-3 flaws and many details rather improvised. 

kind regards and thanks for listening :-)


September

I have always resonated deeply with the energy of the rose, but this has felt like the year of the lotus...an archetypal descent and alchemical journey through the proverbial mud.

And, from surrendering to the intelligence of this organic process, in perfect time, the blooms of liberated life force and illuminated awareness begin to unfurl as a lotus-heart of compassion, rebirthing a higher consciousness of love embodied, integrating as a humble reverence for the messy and miraculous process of awakening itself.

Wisdom is birthed from the dark womb, and the prayer "may all beings be free from suffering" begins to resonate from the center of the Self, rippling out into the collective as a gift and a bounty of the courageous walk through the wilderness.

During this set, I was gifted the opportunity to witness and celebrate the liberation of my own mind and heart from old patterns and pain points, noticing myself in levity and laughter where I may have judged myself before, opening my heart where there was once contraction, choosing a new octave of reality-creation from the inside-out.

And it was just A LOT of fun to show up and share music in this frequency and pour forth the juicy fruits of this expanded freedom.

Thank you for the beautiful beings who joined in this ceremony of embodied awakening 🪷

I savor the gift of coming together as a community to play, to pray, to alchemize and to journey through the full-spectrum, from the mud to the bloom, together.

Thank you to the brilliant artists creating this music medicine, and for Roots 2 Crown for holding the Ecstatic Dance St. Pete container!

Bloom Like a Lotus 🪷 Medicine Muse @ Ecstatic Dance St. Pete

Many thanks to https://soundcloud.com/vincent-chansons-bleues for providing the photo as well as many suggestions during the preparation of this track. 

Le cul confortablement posé sur ma chaise
Je dispense mes pensées comme la catéchèse
A la télé, la radio, le net, mes bouquins, vos journaux

Sur un ton virulent, toujours chaud comme la braise
Je déverse mon flot d’idées reçues, de foutaises
Du moment que je fais le buzz, je fais mon boulot

Je vends du prêt-à-penser livré à domicile
Opinions tranchées, théories du complot stériles
J'ai un avis sur tout : l'Islam, la dette, l’arbitrage vidéo...

Généreux en mauvaise foi, en démagogie
Je rameute la meute au cri de « tous pourris »
Epargnant autant que faire se peut mes amis

Je cible un cercle toujours plus grand de followers
Les geeks, les ménagères, les retraités, les chômeurs
Les fachos, les gauchos, homos, hétéros, évadés fiscaux

J’ai toujours un machin pour les amadouer
Leur mettre dans la bouche ce qu’ils doivent penser
Tant qu’ils sont convaincus que ce sont les autres qui sont manipulés

Moi je fais l’opinion pour des clients qu’ont du pèze
Des lobbies politiques ou des marchands de merguez
Peu importe la cause, le pourquoi, le comment, s’ils voient mon talent

Je dis qu’il faut faire blanc si on a de l’honneur
Puis je dis « faites noir pour sauver votre honneur »
Ce qui compte et qui paie, mon pote, c’est d’avoir du culot

Le cul confortablement posé sur ma chaise
Je me demande parfois si je sucre les fraises
A force de parler, de vous voir me voir m’écouter parler

Avec tous ces intellos qui me piquent mes thèses
Mytho patentés, philosophes en bois de mélèze
Je pourrais finir par passer à la postérité!

Lyrics:
i remember how you feel about every little thing
i think about how you’d feel about every little thing that i would do
clung on the bluff at my edge
you’ve been enough for my head
i tried to pull it all out like a thread
unravel the dress
make me naked
i want all my skin on the air
it isn’t about you
it’s about me
i don’t even care like that anymore
it’s just what i’m left with
i said i wouldn’t write anymore words about you
but i couldn’t get the rest out the door without saying this too
i tried to pull it all out like a thread
unravel the dress
make me naked
i want all my skin on the air

dark side

Lyrics:
Pain is no illusion
It is very real
This is the conclusion
With which you must deal
Pain can be very scarey,
but it you must feel
we must face our shadows
If we ever want to deal.
To tell you the truth,
the truth is inside.
Your head is the only
thing that helps to hide
The day from the night
and the night from the day
Reality is an illusion
What more can I say?

This is how we do;
This is how we don't
This is how we will 
This is how we won't
This is how we roll
This is how we ride
This is how we run
And this is how we hide.

Happiness is something
You must allow to be
A man who accepts lack of control
Is a man whose truly free
Living like a rock
is not the life for me
I soak in collective consciousness
and flow unto the sea.
We all have a battle
An inner battle with no end.
It is through this inner battle
that we shall ascend.
Through level upon level
and on and on and on
They say the darkest hour 
Is right before the dawn.

(Chorus)

*Whispered*
What is the meaning of life and why am I here, why does everyone seem to be so cavalier about expanding through the universe out into infinity we flow just like this verse, with supreme divinity embodied in human form, that's what I have found.  So let's sit back and chill to the sound.

(Chorus)

This is how we roll

Finding meaning in a meaningless world.

A nice little jam I wrote the other day after having my musical passion reignite. This is the first song I've ever uploaded on Soundcloud - which is my first official step into my musical journey. 

I look forward to connecting and growing together.

Much love,
Your Mate Tom

Meaning in the Void - Instrumental

A psychedelic voyage into unordinary states of consciousness. It's like that time you ate too many shrooms and the psychedelic gods took you on a terrifying yet beautiful journey of self discovery.

WE MADE IT TO THE LIGHT!

This is literally my first attempt at composing and mixing a "psychedelic ambient" track. Hopefully I didn't do too bad. Let us know your thoughts! :)

Much love,
