I would like to tell you a story of a young promising shipibo shaman who tragically passed away, his struggling family in need of support and a song collaboration that we made between the spirit and physical realms. 

When I came to Peru I experienced 4 powerful ceremony with Shipibos. I really connected energetically with one of the shamans, the youngest and most energetic one - Felipe Segundo. He had a great stamina and his Icaros were really powerful, at the same time he was a very gentle soul. I still remember when the big dose of Ayahuasca totally blew me into the fractal womb and I didn't want to come back to reality, but when I finally hearda voice telling me that he wants to sing for me and if I want to sit up and receive it. Just because of my respect for him I knew I need to be reborn into my body and so, all covered in my purge, barely seeing with one eye up and holding my self up into balance I got up and received his Icaro. Those ceremonies became the main reason why I continue to live in Peru and work with plant medicine and sound. 

After the ceremonies we promised to make a song together but I've never felt ready. Almost a year later he died tragically in a moto caro accident... I've felt I forever lost the chance to honor him with our promised song. Recently I was having a solo mushroom journey in the music studio of the Sacred Valley in Peru, I listened to some track and when it finished the next song that came on with shuffle was the recording of his Icaro from the ceremonies we shared. I wasn't aware I had it on my macbook among gigabytes of music. I understood this is no coincidence so I started working on my sound promise. 2 days ago the beother of Felipe Segundo wrote me that the family is struggling because of the COVID, they're sick and need financial support. They offer their handicrafts and need help. I understood again that these synchronicities are not an coincidence.

I am sharing the finished song to reach more people, a collaboration between the spirit and physical world, the jungle and the Sacred Valley, between me and a beautiful soul that won't sing again in the ceremony but his voice will always stay in the energetic body and DNA of the people he helped. Our promise is now complete brother. 
This is his last Icaro...

About this edit:
African music has been very inspiring to me for many years, there is something about it that I connect deeply with, I feel it in my spirit. I love to listen to it all the time, I love to learn the guitar rhythms and melodies, it gives me a lot of ideas for my music.
I came across this song recently and fell in love with the vocal and simple yet beautiful guitar melody. I felt that it had a very authentic and honest feeling. I researched the song and found out that N'Gou recorded this album in his house with his wife and daughter singing in the 1970's in Bougouni, Mali. I felt this was a beautiful vibration that I would love to share in my sets so I decided to make this edit. I hope you enjoy! Please listen to his full original album it's a beautiful work of art and music :)

Ong Namo mantra was inspiration for my first single. Recorded together with my brother Simas in the sunny mountains of Tramuntana it invites us to bow to our inner teacher.  I'm excited it's reaching You now and You will have Your own moments with it.

Sãvastis - Ong Namo

Wandering through the forest he could here little but for the occasional chirp of birds nestled in the trees up above him. It were as if he was shrouded beneath some dense green sky in which wild colours and tones flourished in the glint of the sun and the shadows which fell from above.

This could be magic. Perhaps it was…

He wandered atop soft moss, taking one step at a time, being careful not to lose sight of the path upon which he tread ever so carefully.

There was magic here alright, that was certain.

Secret Circuit is sensationally remixed by Andrei Rusu who reworks the music into something wonderful and delicate, pieced together by flurries of arpeggios and loving melody from an otherworldly piano.

My song ,,You Can't Walk Away from Love'' born during my travels in #Madrid. These times were so fragile, so growing, so full of love for the World. Grateful for all the lessons they brought.
Finally, I'm again feeling like sharing it with audience. You can find the video on  my Youtube platform ,,sãvastis world".

"Baltija" is the Lithuanian name for the Baltic Sea, which borders Lithuania’s coastline, and holds a special place in my heart.

I created this outro track as a way to say thank you to our sea - for so many beautiful moments and the amazing sunset-filled summer of 2024. 

Also it's a perfect example of a new way in music production - field recordings mixed with handpan sounds, minimalism and meditative moods. Looking foward to embrace this more during this summer.

V.A. – Saulėlydis — an ode to the sunset — is out as a 2×LP and digital release on June 21, 2025.
