Pagan chant lyrics from spells8 - 'Powerful Song'

Powerful song of radiant light,
Weave us the web that spins the night.
Web of stars that holds the dark,
Weave us the earth that feeds the spark.

Strand by stand, hand over hand,
Thread by thread, we weave the web.

Cuatro Vientos - Aliento

Door of Faith

Mere Gurudev

In the third installment of a monthly series, going by the name CASTANEA, Rising Appalachia’s David Brown releases a remix of the band’s song “Synchronicity.” Maintaining the downtempo, head nod vibe of “Novels” and “Zavey,” Brown reached a bit further back into his own roots for this one. Here's what he had to say about the track:
 
“Towards the end of my teens and early twenties, I was in a very urban phase of life – skateboarding, scratching records, taking trips from the mountains where I grew up into the urban landscapes of NYC, ATL, and Baltimore. Nearly everything about the hip-hop and street skate culture I sought out, and was subsequently shaped by. I feel lucky, looking back now, to have been around for that era, before copyright almost crushed hip-hop and before skating became so sanitized.” 
 
“My setup was pretty classic... I had this hooked-on-phonics style headset for my monitors and microphone that I ‘borrowed’ from my high school and I recorded mixtapes with two turntables onto my first computer’s sandwich sized hard-drive. Recently I pulled all my samples off of it, and was able to incorporate some of them into the remix of Synchronicity.”
 
“I was introduced to the concept of synchronicity around that time, too. It’s a long story but by lucky accident I found a booked called “Synchronicity: Science, Myth and Trickster” and it was one of the best windfalls of my life, a missing puzzle piece that really helped guide me. I came to see those things – the chance encounters, the dreams getting reflected in waking life, the amazing coincidences – as signals from a deep, wild and mysterious force in our world. As the classic sample which I scratch says, I love it.”
 
“Musically, I wanted to see what it would sound like to shift the rhythm of the song, and then apply the textures of the 90s hip-hop era to it – the kalimba, the upright bass, the scratching. I’m thinking that next month I’ll work on another Rising Appalachia track from the Wider Circles LP, and then start spinning the RA vinyl that’s about to drop, “ALIVE!”

Take Me Downtown

Sisters Leah and Chloe Smith founded Rising Appalachia on their back porch in Georgia, playing simple fiddle and banjo melodies and leaning into their families rich musical traditions. It has since become a globally recognized Americana and world folk ensemble, celebrating a unique blend of Southern-rooted music, storytelling, and community. The band features David Brown (bass, guitar), Duncan Wickel (fiddle, cello), and Biko Casini (percussion), and infuses music with a unique tapestry of Appalachian, Irish and traditional influence but stays connected to simple songwriting. Rising Appalachia has captivated audiences for nearly 2 decades, from busking in New Orleans to touring Europe, and has been featured at prestigious venues like Red Rocks, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Woodford Folk Fest. Their performances at NPR's Tiny Desk and Preservation Jazz Hall have solidified their status in the folk music scene. Breaking industry norms, the band's approach to music is as much an artistic statement as it is a movement, culminating in their newest album, 'Folk and Anchor' a carefully curated collection of cover songs. This project includes remakes from Bob Dylan to James Blake, Erykah Badu to Beyonce and showcases their eclectic style, inviting listeners into a rich musical journey.
