// LIMINAL REALITY is the space between where we were and where we can grow to be // You are not lost, you are only in transition // This is the space where we can focus on self aware-ness, address what we have and lack, and make moves to build a stronger foundation for our future //

// BECOMING IS BEING // WHICH PATH WILL YOU CHOOSE? // 

// In honor of Pride Month, a portion of the proceeds from this release will go to The Trevor Project to support mental health in the LGBTQ+ community //

Liminal Reality

Intro

One beautiful fall day, a wild 5AM, McWavy & ZONE Drums appeared to turn a happy little beat into a happy little song, and “Orange Sunshine” was born! We wrote some lyrics together, arranged it, and tracked some keyboard and saxophone solos to bring it home. We wanted to channel sunlight and good vibes with this tune and we hope it brings a little more light into your life, no matter what season it is :) ⛄️🌷🌞🍁

Near the tail end of 2022, Colorado-based @motifvmusic and @late-night-radio hit the studio together in a collaborative exploration of mutual inspiration, crafting a number of tracks - the first of which, “Hold On”, is streaming now on all platforms.

For most any listener, the shared influences of gospel, soul, and hip-hop progressions are immediately apparent in the artists’ collaborations. Described by Late Night Radio and Motifv as a “track that makes you want to hug yourself,  “Hold On” serves as a hopeful, meditative reprise for the listener, a time to reflect and find solace in our fortitude when life is overcast and rumbles of thunder resound in our minds.

“Hold On” is a collaborative release between Philos Records and Featherweight Records. Listen now on your preferred streaming service: https://ffm.to/motifv-lnr

Tipper - Dreamsters (Evanoff Cover)

20 years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called “a bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.” They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth--the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home. 

The Universe Inside is a reflection of this message. It is a story about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. It says we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living, breathing conscience of the Universe. 

"We are one, made from dust of the stars / down here we bear the weight of the pain and the scars / just want to live with nothing to hide / every one of us a universe inside."
