Spirelevation is a piece which incorporates and fuses elements of south asian music and psychedelia.
In this case, Steffen began with a rhythm track which he supplied to me. My only request was "something with a bhangra flavor". With this as a start point, I began to layer guitar and bass tracks, drawing from some riffs and progressions I had developed through the years. Feeling that the combination of rhythmic and harmonic elements had merit, Steffen began his mixing process - arranging and rearranging sections as I provided additional guitar tracks.

The result, we hope, is music which is both familiar and innovative, blending our interests in experimental, world music, and rock into something more than the sum of it's parts and decisively Mindflower.
We hope you enjoy.

Roger Berkowitz - Unearth Noise (US)
Steffen Lilie - bitzone (GER)

Mindflower is an instrumental collaboration between bitzone and unearth noise. We combine our mutual interests in experimental, rock, jazz, and world musics. Within this unit, bitzone is primarily focuses on percussion, rhythmic elements, and production while UN addresses melodic and harmonic concerns. There's a lot of overlap, though. The goal is to produce something rich in diverse influences, kinetic, and challenging.
