Love And Affection

Imagine and Feel that you become the earth: a seed germinating, a bud flourishing, a caterpillar transforming. This sound journey was played live during the 'Sound & Consciousness' exhibit, inside a life-size cocoon, emulating nature's rhythms through sound collaging and guided visualizations by Mari Sierra. 

“…The earth is our origin and destination. The ancient rhythms of the earth have insinuated themselves into the rhythms of the human heart. The earth is not outside us; it is within: the clay from where the tree of the body grows.”

Becoming Earth - a soundscaped journey to soften urban consciousness

This is probably my favourite of the breathwork meditations so far, is a journey that spans the world containing Tibetan chants, African rhythms, deep delta meditative soundscapes, even Hans Zimmer makes an appearance. 

And it only really concerns itself with two types of breath:
Rebirthing breath - long, in through the nose, to the top of the chest, relaxing exhale out through the mouth like emptying a glass of water down the sink. 
WHM (Wim Hof Method) short sharp inhales through the mouth, tapered exhales through the nose or mouth. 

But its essentially a freestyle breathing track, as per usual, be the boss of your own breathwork, find the rhythm and use it to get as much oxygen into the system as possible. 

And also as per usual, taking responsibility for your own wellbeing, only going as far as you feel you're able, being your own inner guide as to where your limits are and finding ways to just edge them a little bit, if it feels good for you!

So with all that said, making sure you're not operating any heavy machinery or doing anything that requires attention and focus, lie back, put the track on and enjoy the journey into yourself...

IDB Sound journeys - Being

For this our sixth Botanas single series we have the pleasure to present two stunning original tracks and one beautiful edit from Canadian producer Oonga (who you might have spotted on our Mare Insularum compilation). Oonga is a DJ/producer from Montreal who works with Stonetree Records. 

Opener El Caracol is one of the most personal tracks the artist has ever made. It is based on a poem written by Eli´s (Oonga) dad and dedicated to him. It was written after the two of them had a really deep conversation about hidden pain and then months later his dad showed him the words, and he was extremely moved and so created this beautiful track. 

This inspiration came at the same time as Oonga's exposure to the neo-folkloric slow cumbia tech sound while travelling. He put the two together and this special Botanas was born. His dear friend Ana adapted the words into Spanish and sang the melodies (as well as doing the art). 

Oonga´s music captured our ears right away and these three tracks are the perfect soundtrack to the end of the summer for those of us in the norther hemisphere or to welcome the end of the Winter and brighter times for all those down south!
