These improvisations are an exercise in presence for me. My attempt is to listen only to the exact now moment reverberating through the piano… to not lend my attention to listening in my head to what i just played, nor to imagining what I might play next, but simply the single current vibration of each string as it resonates.  The more present I am able to be, the more presence you -- the listener -- are invited to be while we collaborate together in a mutual mediation.  Thank you for this partnership.  With Love, Bryan (NIMITAE)

Burning Man Set 2013, "Direct Transmission Of Truth And Beauty"

This is the love story of Sacha Lalla and Scott DeStephanis, who faced disapproval and doubt from family and friends, but ultimately chose to trust in who they each were becoming in the arms of their beloved.  Thank you S+S for showing all of us that sometimes love takes courage, and that one moment of truth can be worth years of uncertainty.

Best Of Burning Man 2015 - Camp Mystic Epic Wed Night Party

This 2.5 hour journey starts and ends in silence. Slowly building from a meditative contemplation to a frenzied dance-gasm. The sacred space created at Ecstatic Dance brings all who enter on a journey of movement - where the veils of illusion have a chance to fall away and the opportunity to understand wholeness, aliveness and connection come into focus.

Artists:

**NIMITAE** (about 2/3rds of the tracks are NIMITAE originals or remixes. NIMITAE also plays live grand piano, vocals, and tenor saxophone.)

**Joe Muscatello** (1 of Joe's original tracks is featured, and his epic vocal style is featured on 4 tracks)

**Phutureprimitive**  (A mentor to both NIMITAE and Joe Muscatello, and also a collaborator on several track, and 1 of his remixes is featured)

Other contributors: Bliss, Bear McCreary, Susheela Raman, Sounds From The Ground, Lyra, Raj Sundra, Julia Maryanska, Stacey Morgenstern, Landswitcher, Conjure One, Joe Banks, Prefekt, Feed Me, Colombo, TinyC, Grabbitz, Sara Tavares, Little Dragon, and Cristobal Tapia de Veer.

Nothing Is More Important Than Anything Else

My current project, "Including Love - Music That Celebrates Sacred Union" is a compilation of uplifting and deeply grooving dance music - with each song inspired by and dedicated to a specific epic couple in our community.  These men and women are pushing the envelope of what it means to embody the divine masculine and devine feminine, and each couple has their story of how they came to alchemize true love.  I believe the primary love relationship is the current cutting edge of culture and human potential, and that viewing true love as the prime transformative experience is the window to a future we all can believe in.  The only way to become your highest unique self is to surrender fully to the most spectacular vision of you that exists on the planet - the future version of you that only your beloved can see.  When you stop resisting the greatness that only they can hold for you - you can become something far surpassing your own limited sense of self interest.

A special thank you to Android Jones (www.androidjones.com) for capturing the love between me and my wife Jennifer in his piece "Union" which I use as the image / icon here and for the album cover art.  Jennifer - as you would expect - is the inspiration for this project and our relationship is captured musically in "Warrior Catches Thief".   Listening to "Warrior Catches Thief" and looking and Android's "Union" together is a spiritual experience for anyone who believes in true love...
