A few nights ago I took a moment to soak my eyes in the Moon's glow, and before I knew it, I was deeply invigorated and this song was practically writing itself. I've been existing nocturnally since then, dialing in countless thousands of digital brushstrokes to this silver stereophonic rainbow. I included some soul-soothing vocals and violin recordings from Madelion Moondrop﻿, as well as some of my own vocals, and a whole lot of delicate percussion made from sounds recorded in the mountains here in Colorado.

This piece got me thinking about musical space in a very interesting way. I spent a good portion of the process rhythmically slicing up some of the atmospheric and textural layers to interact in various ways with the percussion, envisioning the percussion as tree limbs and the diced up chords as the beams of iridescent moonlight that they split.

This morning, at the same moment I was listening to the finished file for the first time, the sun began coming over the horizon. That kind of thing has a way of putting a smile on my face.

Naturally, it seems very fitting to me that I should make it available to you while the Moon is in the phase that she's in, since I feel that for best results, one should consider listening while appreciating her ethereal splendor. :)

Preparing the Path (Skysia Remix)

Poranguí & Liquid Bloom - Preparing the Path (Skysia Remix)

Inspired by the lush rainforests of the Pacific Northwest coast. The Pacific Northwest region of North America is known for its stunning and diverse forests, which are some of the most ecologically rich and varied in the world. The region is celebrated for its ancient and majestic old-growth trees. Some trees in these forests are hundreds of years old. Deeply grateful for the mystical pockets of nature that exist & the ones working to protect them. 

Enjoy & much love for all of the support ~

“Dream River” is a mesmerizing musical voyage that transports listeners through ethereal realms. With each note from the hand pan, guitar, flute, and conga, you find yourself drifting deeper along luminescent waters, following the enchanting melodies that serve as your guide into distant worlds. The immersive soundscape transcends boundaries, inviting you to venture further into the unexplored territories of the subconscious. 

Dream River is the 4th track from the coming album called “Home”  a collaborative project between Shaman’s Dream and Geometrae, featuring multi-instrumentalists, vocalists, and cutting edge electronic production.

The story is told through the intention of each song, and woven together for the listener to observe each element through the body as a felt experience.

The album begins with the sunrise, as each day begins for us here. The seed is then planted with intentions to grow and flourish, to reach the highest potential as a blooming flower. The 5 elements are explored: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. The 5 elements are needs to transform the seed into a flower, for the fullest expression to be witnessed. Once the flower has bloomed, we welcome the moon, to tap into our psychic senses and merge into the dream world once again, to begin the cycle renewed, to return Home.

It was an  honor having my track included on this compilation.  Here is a write up from the Desert Trax page about the album: 

"With the Global Eclipse approaching, Desert Dwellers have gathered and compiled a stunning collection of deep, subsonic grooves calling to the masses celebrating this once-in-a-lifetime celestial event. On August 14th, one week before a total solar eclipse will be visible across a wide band of the United States, Desert Trax releases Antumbral Shadow, a jaw-dropping 25-track compilation of some of the best international artists spanning psychedelic chill-out, glitch, house, techno, bass, and ambient tunes. 

Dive into numerous unreleased tracks from artists like Kaminanda, Mystral, Zen Baboon, Somatoast, I Awake, Luke Mandala, Liquid Bloom + Numatik, PheuZen, Moon Frog, and many others, as well as newly minted originals from international chill out legends like Entheogenic, Carbon Based Lifeforms, and Origin. Embrace brand new interpretations of Desert Dwellers tunes from artists like CloZee, LuSiD, and Treavor Moontribe, and a brand new unreleased remix of Poranguí by AtYyA. These mysterious and deep soundscapes were gathered by Amani & Treavor of Desert Dwellers with this celestial celebration in mind, to help you navigate your optimal Eclipse journey. As the sun is engulfed and time stand stills, so too will you transcend into the spaces between shadows."
