saQi - Spirits Cradle Feat. Worth & Leah Song Of Rising Appalachia

1. Rising Appalachia - Caminando (The Human Experience Remix Feat. Shane Borth)

"Wider Circles" is the newest album from Rising Appalachia. With influences of folk, soul, roots, world music, and poetry, the album showcases the alchemy of sibling harmonies paired with banjo and fiddle duets. The album was inspired by folk standards and traditional hymns, old mountain odes, and activist anthems that pull equally from the swampy sounds of the bayou, the twang of the Appalachian mountains, and the beat of a global rhythm.

Lean In (feat. Maurice Turner)

"Tales of Talabout linger,
but stay we could no longer.
Continuing through the trees, 
we come in peace; 
a four-piece.
Fresh out the gates, 
lights in the distance, 
Gold Town awaits."

"Moodfamily’s favourite four-piece returns home after many journeys.
Impatient, as we are, we had to hear their stories. Skillfully combining influences, sounds and experiences from east and west, they translated their stories to a new EP, oozing with drama, melancholy and determination.

The EP describes itself as the soundtrack for an adventure to mysterious outskirts around the globe, starting with 'Whale Parade'. This prelude brings you to a hidden land after wandering through forests for many months. Guitar, piano and percussion gently move in and carry you away. By the second track, All Day I Zama, a slow beat dictated by a banket of percussion evolves to a vigorous and groovy track with moaning vocals as the main theme.

In title track Gold Town, you will settle yourself in a covered wagon, heading for dodgy settlements on a misty mountain range, accompanied by a grieving trumpet.

As the wagon slows to a crawl, Ghajar emerges, a downtempo emotion-filled song, where the piano and a scorching synth interchange melodies and tales."

Gold Town

Stavroz - Gold Town

In the third installment of a monthly series, going by the name CASTANEA, Rising Appalachia’s David Brown releases a remix of the band’s song “Synchronicity.” Maintaining the downtempo, head nod vibe of “Novels” and “Zavey,” Brown reached a bit further back into his own roots for this one. Here's what he had to say about the track:
 
“Towards the end of my teens and early twenties, I was in a very urban phase of life – skateboarding, scratching records, taking trips from the mountains where I grew up into the urban landscapes of NYC, ATL, and Baltimore. Nearly everything about the hip-hop and street skate culture I sought out, and was subsequently shaped by. I feel lucky, looking back now, to have been around for that era, before copyright almost crushed hip-hop and before skating became so sanitized.” 
 
“My setup was pretty classic... I had this hooked-on-phonics style headset for my monitors and microphone that I ‘borrowed’ from my high school and I recorded mixtapes with two turntables onto my first computer’s sandwich sized hard-drive. Recently I pulled all my samples off of it, and was able to incorporate some of them into the remix of Synchronicity.”
 
“I was introduced to the concept of synchronicity around that time, too. It’s a long story but by lucky accident I found a booked called “Synchronicity: Science, Myth and Trickster” and it was one of the best windfalls of my life, a missing puzzle piece that really helped guide me. I came to see those things – the chance encounters, the dreams getting reflected in waking life, the amazing coincidences – as signals from a deep, wild and mysterious force in our world. As the classic sample which I scratch says, I love it.”
 
“Musically, I wanted to see what it would sound like to shift the rhythm of the song, and then apply the textures of the 90s hip-hop era to it – the kalimba, the upright bass, the scratching. I’m thinking that next month I’ll work on another Rising Appalachia track from the Wider Circles LP, and then start spinning the RA vinyl that’s about to drop, “ALIVE!”

“We don’t play music, music plays us” – David Block

At a fundamental level
We are more than just billions of atoms
We are all vibrations
We are all sounds
Everything in the universe
Is a sound
One's thoughts
One's intentions
Are sounds
Our love
Our fears
Are sounds
Our Hopes
Our Dreams
Are sounds
Vibrations
Inaudible sounds
