Shaman's Dream & Geometrae - Pranayamystic (Deep Visions Mix)

Cedar Moon is the first track released from a 3 song EP called “Earth Keepers” produced by Shaman’s Dream, Poranguí and Eric Zang.

The song was a gift to Sahuna from an old growth Cedar Tree under the full moon at his home in Nevada City. When recorded, it was done in one take with Shaman’s Dream on Hang Drum, Poranguí on Ngoni, Eric Zang on Kaval Flute and Beats created by Geometrae.

Cedar Moon reflects the healing energy that comes from opening, listening and allowing spirit to work through us. Trusting in the power of being in the moment and improvising from a place of deep listening.

The Earth Keepers project emerged from a personal inquiry between Poranguí and Sahuna Love (Shaman’s Dream) around what it means to be better stewards of our sacred Earth Mother. At the core of this question came the understanding that we are each bodies comprised of the Earth elements and can only care for Mother Gaia when we cultivate & care for our body in relation to a place.

Guided by the principles of reciprocity and complementarity we are more capable of living in right relation to the elements and all of life. Rooted through the body & inspired from the breath, we dance & sing as an offering to life helping us conduct ourselves through the world and everyday choices with care for this precious planet we call home.

A nomadic ebony flute becomes a vessel for the animation of life’s honeyed breath; it’s melodic pleas dancing atop a patient, brooding elixir of Turkish oud and the ancient desert rhythms of def & bendir drums.

90 Min deeply relaxing shamanic yoga music journey.

Deep Shamanic Ambience 1

“Olorum” gently invokes the divine presence of the Creator; it brings blessings of Supreme Being in the Yoruba spiritual traditions. A patient serenade of primordial creativity from which vast mountains of infinite possibilities emerge. “Olorum” ebbs and flows, a precious offering to the Ruler of the Heavens, so we may better steward the intricate web of life.

Originally on the album Prana Pulse, the Bluetech and Shaman’s Dream track Mother Water has been reimagined by dear friend and collaborator, Geometrae.

Shaman's Dream & Liquid Bloom - Temple Gateways (DJ Taz Rashid Yoga Mix)

This is a very special track that I recorded back in 2006 when I lived in Topanga, CA with my partner at the time, Bibi.

Bibi is singing a beautiful old Sikh chant over top of some synth pads and live recordings that I captured of the Maldive Ocean, Topanga crickets and owls.

This is a short sample. The full track is 40 mins long. 

It's intention and design is to support a deep state of relaxation and peace. Perfect for meditation, yoga and massage.

Super excited to announce the second single off Shaman's Dream and Geometrae's collaborative album "Home". 

"Night Bloom" is written by Shaman's Dream & Geometrae. The lyrics & flute playing is by Cagil Cokan, a Turkish singer and multi-instrumentalist from a Sufi family. Percussions added by Jason O'Keefe, and guitar by Devdev. 

This is the 2nd release of “Home”, a collaborative album between Shaman’s Dream and Geometrae, featuring multi-instrumentalists, vocalists, and cutting edge electronic production. 

The story is told through the intention of each song, and woven together for the listener to observe each element through the body as a felt experience. 

The album begins with the sunrise, as each day begins for us here. The seed is then planted with intentions to grow and flourish, to reach the highest potential as a blooming flower. The 5 elements are explored: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. The 5 elements are needs to transform the seed into a flower, for the fullest expression to be witnessed. Once the flower has bloomed, we welcome the moon, to tap into our psychic senses and merge into the dream world once again, to begin the cycle renewed, to return Home.

Work in progress of the first song with Torin Goodnight, to my next Shamans Dream Album - "Medicine Path" 

Medicine Path - co-produced w/ Torin Goodnight "Bird of Prey"

Hinimawé celebrates the very essence of water. Rooted in the ancient Bana Kuma wisdom map, Hinimawé is a feminine archetype that embraces understanding and emotional depth. Viewing the body as a receiver and emitter, or sah u lé, she weaves unity and spiritual harmony. Hinimawé is a patroness of meditation and art-forms that can soothe the restless mind.

In a mesmerizing symphony, the song ventures into a world of downtempo beats, harmonizing with the ethereal sounds of whales, dolphins, ocean waves, and streams. Enchanting trance-like vocals, alongside the Hand Pan and the Ngoni, converge in perfect harmony, guiding the listener into the infinite waters of remembrance.

Hinimawé is the 3rd track from the coming album called “Home” a collaborative project between Shaman’s Dream and Geometrae, featuring multi-instrumentalists, vocalists, and cutting-edge electronic production.

“Humming With The Wind” pays homage to the element of air. This downtempo piece elegantly interweaves invoking Spanish verses, courtesy of singer "Amaruka Sol," summoning the very essence of wind, air, and breath. At its core, the track weaves the mystical tapestry of the Eagle and Condor merging — an age-old prophecy on the brink of realization.

Emerging from the forest, a hummingbird flits through the arrangement. This is a symbolic bridge between heavens and earth, uniting cardinal directions and dimensions at the heart.

Eric Lannos's nimble fingers masterfully pick the nylon guitar, alongside the Pan flute, opening a portal to the mystic landscapes of South America. The Native American flute calls from the North, harmonizing past and present. Deep bass and lively percussions drive the track along to create a sense of awakening of the spirit to dance along with the wind.

“Humming With The Wind” is the 5th track from the coming album called “Home”  a collaborative project between Shaman’s Dream and Geometrae, featuring multi-instrumentalists, vocalists, and cutting edge electronic production.

Anchored by resonant gong tones, this musical voyage beckons you into a realm of sacred melodies, inviting you to immerse yourself in the gentle embrace of lunar beams.

Shaman's Dream & Geometrae - Moon Whisperer (feat. Ruby Chase)

"Seeds of Potential," the featured track from Shaman's Dream & Geometrae's full-length album "Home," is a musical journey that delves deep into the symbolism of a seed's life cycle. Much like a seed's transformation from darkness to light, this song metaphorically represents the human experience of growth and self-discovery.

In this musical landscape, the deep bass tones embody the dark soil and undergrowth of life. This represents the struggles and obstacles we encounter as we navigate our personal journey towards the surface. The delicate nylon string guitar, meticulously curated by Eric Llanos, signifies the ultimate moments of enlightenment and self-realization, akin to the sun breaking through the soil and a seed expanding into a plant.

Listeners are invited to explore the profound metaphor of personal growth, reminding us that just as seeds break through their shells and traverse the darkness of the earth to reach the light, our lives encompass both trials and triumphant moments. "Seeds of Potential" inspires us with a message of resilience and hope, emphasizing the innate potential for personal development and transformation.
