Indigo Spring

Regarding the universal theme of the ongoing battle of light versus the darkness, in this segment from our audiobook, the Mayan based story 'The Covenant Of Heaven', the goddess Ixtab, consort of Ah Puch the lord of death, calls upon the envious forces of the underworld known as the Xibalba to rise and resist the efforts of the gods of the heavens to create humanity and bring about illumination in the universe.

Opening Ceremony for Nou:shh Berlin OSD with Sarah Wreath, Marco Shuttle, Nathalia, Marylou, Ron Trent and Vanessa Running Wolf- 

Sunday, October 13, 2024, corresponds to the day Ce Coatl (1 Serpent) in the Aztec calendar or tonalpohualli. This day falls within the trecena of Cipactli (Caiman or Crocodile), symbolizing beginnings, creation, and the awakening of life.

The serpent, Coatl, is a symbol of transformation, wisdom, and power, closely connected to Quetzalcoatl, the god of civilization and knowledge. 

Quetzalcoatl embodies the union of opposites: the serpent, symbolizing the earth, the material, and the terrestrial; and the quetzal feathers, representing the sky, the spirit, and the divine. This teaches us that humans are a manifestation of this duality—both material and spiritual beings—and that the path to wisdom involves finding balance between these two dimensions.

Quetzalcóatl, master of civilization, taught us the power of knowledge—not only to elevate ourselves as human beings but to build communities based on harmony, respect, and deep connection with the earth. Quetzalcóatl, the creator of civilization, also teaches us that true knowledge is the medicine against ignorance and hatred. 

With this sound healing journey, we celebrate all those who resisted, standing firm in their beliefs and values. I created this sound journey in remembrance of the voices that were silenced, the spirits that were muted, and the stories that were lost.

This is the first single from my "Mesoamerican Mythology" series, fusing Latin American folklore with peak-time Afro House. I’d love to discuss how it could complement CR2’s vision for cultural dance music.
