This track is a contribution to the Well-Being Cities project.

Well-Being Cities is a unique collaboration between Cities and Memory and C40, a global network of mayors of nearly 100 world-leading cities collaborating to deliver the urgent action needed right now to confront the climate crisis.

The project asks artists to reimagine soundscapes representing well-being in cities – whether environmental, social, climate-related or cultural – with sound works being presented at the C40 Summit in Buenos Aires in October.

– What does a city that prioritizes health and well-being sound like?
– How can we use sound to reflect on what an equitable, healthy and climate-safe approach to wellbeing looks like for cities?
– What would a truly green, resilient and equitable city sound like?

"The Piece is called "Welcome to Abundancia". Abundancia is the name of the imaginary city that has achieved a state of total balance, harmony, abundance and integration of nature. It serves as a playground and safe home for it citizens and provides all that is needed for its people and animals to thrive and (Abun)dance together. The track invites you to experience how it sounds and feels to spent a day in this magical sanctuary from sunrise to sunset.

In Abundancia people have found a way to remove all stress and toxicity and to live in harmony and flow by getting rid of all distracting and unnecessary elements, by focusing on what brings joy and well-being and by living in community instead of isolation. The city has its name because the main goal is to offer and create abundance for all. It  has huge community gardens that provide high quality organic food and medicine plants for everyone and many sources of pure clean and fresh water can be found in and around the city. There are also beautiful parks where people do spiritual practices like Yoga, Meditation, Qi-Gong etc. together. 

The citizens of Abundancia live in joy, happiness and a sense of fulfillment and purpose because all jobs and services are directly connected to support and serve the community. And everyone has the opportunity and is encouraged to follow their passion. They also understand that they create their reality individually and collectively based on their thoughts, beliefs and emotions and that there is no limitation to what they can create except for what they can't imagine. People realized that fear and lack have been created in the past by limiting and negative beliefs but everyone in Abundancia is constantly reminded of the power they have as creator beings and that's why fear no longer exists because people have realized that it does not serve them to focus on fearful and negative thoughts and instead they always ask themselves how they can create more beauty, love and abundance.

The city is very colorful and a huge playground for all kinds of creative expressions and art forms. The people in Abundancia have understood and mastered the meta-physical principles of frequency, energy, vibration and resonance and  therefore the architecture and design reflects and is based on sacred geometry and cosmic harmonics that help to create an energy field of coherence and harmony in and around the city.

I am deeply grateful to be able to participate in this project and know deep in my heart that Abundancia is not just a fantasy but a memory from the not so distant future.

Steffen Ki - Welcome To Abundancia

This song was written by Marya Stark inspired by bones and a time before the internet. ‘Fly Away’ is evocative of prophecy, dreams, and the magic at midnight.

By this point, it was towards the end of summer months of 2020, several waves of chaos into the lockdown, and we were riding the many uprisings and divisions within the culture. 

Leah threw out the idea of needing respite from all the internet dumpster fires that were wreaking havoc on our online communities, and called for a song to reach into the healing power of our ancestral magics. Thus, the topic we chose was ‘bones’, with the style being that which was way before the internet. 

This song tells the story of a dream of a young woman who is being called into an initiation at the temple. She has visions of her sacred women kin dancing around in a star-stepping pattern as a practice of oracular divination and invocation prayer.

Day By Day

"Whatever is destined to happen will happen, 
do what you may to prevent it. 
This is certain. 
The best course, 
therefore, 
is to remain silent."
