Poranguí Live at Envision

Poranguí - Live At Envision - Journey Mix

Tender hearts and connected souls, we proudly announce the first official release of Sonic Samadhi. An ambient favorite that has slowly grown over time and is just now blossoming for the world.

Open Ancient Eyes has become a leading top album that we have chosen to feature here because of the mythic blueprint it holds. OAE was always designed with an ambient journey in mind and here she is, 11 years later.

A very very special celebratory moment for us all. You're invited to take a sublime melodic journey dedicated to gently welcoming you into the present moment, consciously connecting you, and expanding into the infinite.

Darpan and Temple Step - Ancient Futures Jan 2025

if you had everything 
would you still count on me 
when nobody knows 
and i'm alone
 i'll be here now and again 
so don't just walk past
it's there for a reason 
it's there for a reason 

i used to do it all on my own 
boneless, lifeless drone 
from my head to my toes i was alone 
i'll be here now and again 

strung out 
my hand 
would you let go of me

In this collaboration, Radboud Mens and I explore the tension between stasis and movement. Operating within the realm of drone and electroacoustic music, we construct a sonic landscape where sustained tones and microscopic events constantly shape and reshape each other. What initially appears static reveals itself to be rich with detail: tiny acoustic shifts breathe life into apparent stillness, inviting focused and attentive listening.

The album emerged from a process where sound research, improvisation, and sound design merge. Self-built instruments, the search for timbre and texture, and recordings of the learning process itself form the foundation of these compositions. Rather than following a traditional musical structure, the result is a sonic field in which the minimal continually transforms depending on the listener’s perspective. This is a layered and handcrafted album that doesn’t narrate, but questions. Marking A Boundary With The Turning Point is not a boundary. It’s an invitation to listen differently.

Spirit Level I

Same words, different world.

There was a time when the world was quiet. Or maybe it wasn’t the world—maybe it was just me. I remember the silence, the kind that wasn’t empty but full, the kind that settled softly like dusk over a slow-moving river. Back then, my mind was still a place I could rest in, not a storm I had to survive.

It must have started as a whisper, a small ripple in the stillness, something I thought would pass. But it grew until it became everything. Now, the quiet feels like something I dreamed, something too distant to be real. I chase it, reach for it in the rare moments when the chaos slows.

And I am left here, a drift in the wind, unable to remember what it felt like to simply be.

Sometimes, late at night, when the world is half-asleep, I almost hear it again. A memory of silence, pressed between heartbeats, between the ticking of the clock and the sigh of the wind against the glass. But it never stays. The storm always finds its way back, tearing through my thoughts, scattering them like leaves in a wind I cannot stop.

I wonder - was I ever truly at peace, or was it only the absence of knowing what would come? And if I was, if that silence was real, is it lost forever? Or is it waiting for me somewhere, just beyond the horizon?

I remember the silence (rework)

i'm honored to develop the Ecstatic Dance movement in israel. it's a year we are dancing our hearts and minds once a week unconditional.

i want to thank the community for showing up and share your bright light such as your shadows, taking it all on the dancefloor. 
i'm excited with the new directions it takes me as a Dj and i'm so in love with the music that is now being transmitted to the world. 

Light Child Project is a Project that is here to help and support each own individual way to the inner child that we are and bring it back and out to the front of our present being. this is enlightening. 

dance is a medicine and i'm here to help bring this true value  back to our consciousness.. dance with the devil, you are God. 

never thought i'll play this kind of music.. always had visions for psychedelic dancefloors and music and for me it's a good sign of self maturity and mindfulness living. 

i feel the bless ~ thank you _/\_

truly yours,
BARAKE

The idea of these meditative sessions was born at the beginning of March when lockdown in Italy began with the plan to release one track every week till the end of April.
The purpose of these meditation sessions was to offer beauty, peace and love to all the listeners and I'm honoured to have received such positive feedbacks that let me know this musical journey has gone in the right direction.

It's been a hard but magic time for me and I want to thank you all for your support!

Much Love
