CRYSTAL AND SPORE MIXES

"Bring the sky beneath your feet and listen to celestial music everywhere." - Rumi

A musical prayer for rain, the Hydration mix shares music like droplets of water on a still pond, like rain hitting the dry forest floor, like rivers on the return path to the ocean. Let this mix be the hydration to help regenerate your life and the many lives around you. 

This Crystal and Spore mix was sourced in collaboration with Delvin Solkinson at CoSM Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in the Hudson Valley woodlands of NY. Curated and mixed into a continuous flow by Sijay James in the mountain forests of the Kootenay BC. Mastered by Akhentek in the Elphinstone rainforest of BC. Thanks to tech from Frogg Acuda. 

Let this music flow through you like universal water.
Please support the artists!

Beyonder - 2019 CoSM full moon mix

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." - Plato

In the year 2020 the word foresight has especially potent meaning. Hindsight they say is 2020, and this mix aims to redirect our intentions towards the road ahead.

This mix was conceptually started as a Full Moon Library set at CoSM Chapel of Sacred Mirrors last winter. The track selection reflects the winter and spring of 2020. There was optimism for what this year had in store and the early working title of “foresight” was anticipating what promised to be an exciting creative year ahead.

The curation happened in a number of sifts in which at least 4 previous versions of this same mix were made  as it evolved over a season of refinements. The final mix was done live on a Twitch Stream in mid April with cloud oriented visuals. It was mastered in Ilum studios on the Sunshine Coast of BC. by Akhentek. Special thanks to Frogg Acuda for the Traktor S4  controller to make this on.

This music is purposefully nebulaic and lyrical. It is meant to uplift and relax. Crystal & Spore are deeply grateful to all the musicians for their offerings. We encourage you to take the tracklist and look into all the artists. All of this music is available on Bandcamp which is the platform most designed for artists to get what they deserve for what they create. Support the artists buy buying their tracks. Help share the mix through your social media networks. Let this soundtrack uplift your creative practices, art making, writing, walking, gardening and designing as you work towards consciously creating your next level life adventures. 
Thanks for listening!
