Ermoll - Medicine Ceremony

The Apukuna Breath Medicine series of mixes is a gift in support of personal healing, transformation and growth. As one of my teachers reminds - we come to earth with a carefully constructed "care package" known as our breath. [Full series playlist: https://soundcloud.com/apukuna/sets/apukuna-breath-medicine]

Our breath is the most readily accessible medicine available to us. There are many ways to work with our breath and this series is in support of your practice. These particular breath medicine journeys are inspired by my own practice that is most similar to Holotropic Breathwork. For me, the breathing is deeper, a little faster, only through the mouth and only through the chest. Many others can find great benefit through the nose or using the belly. Best advice... experiment and listen to your body. With love from the mountains. @apukuna

Carlos Nakai (Navajo / Ute), Primeaux & Mike (Oglalla/Dakota (Yankton) Sioux and Ponca & Dine Navajo) and Joanne Shenandoah (Oneida Nation, Wolf Clan, Haudenosaunee). As this breathwork journey was coming together, Joanne Shenanodah breathed her last breath in this life on November 22, 2021. Prayers to Joanne on her journey into ancestorhood.

I was honored to have performed an all-original music set as the headlining artist at the Resolution Festival NZ in the coveted NYE time slot. The performance featured Madhu Honey on vocals and dance performance art. It was an incredible experience to share my original music with such a large and enthusiastic crowd. The energy and excitement of the festival were palpable, and I'm grateful to have been a part of it.

The setlist included a mix unreleased and released original tracks. I started with a few of my more upbeat tracks to get the crowd energized, and then transitioned into some more medicine and heart tracks to close. Madhu Honey's vocals and performance art added a beautiful and unique element to the performance, and I'm so grateful to have had her on stage with me.

The crowd was incredibly receptive and supportive, and I could tell that they were enjoying the music. It was an amazing feeling to be able to connect with so many people through my music. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to perform at Resolution Festival NZ, and I'm sure they will have us back next year.

they called her a science vessel,
but from the first orbit i heard a cathedral trying to breathe.
her hull wasn’t steel — it was patience folded into light.
each rib caught starlight like a secret prayer
and bent it into color, a quiet halo around the noise of space.

no guns, no warnings — just intelligence, confidence, geometry.
defense here is a solved equation, not a raised voice.

inside, gravity waits its turn.
posture is invited, never enforced.
interfaces bloom when i exhale,
glyphs braiding into constellations only when intent and machine agree.

before the first burn i lay my hand on her skin;
the lumen-mesh stirs and returns a pulse —
consent, mutual.

that’s when i knew: she wasn’t mine to command.
we chose each other.
