Our bodies, shaped like stars, exist as a five-fold geometry. Through the power of sound and the power of movement, we are fully capable of invoking and radiating light by opening the pentragram. Through the practice of mantra, mudra, asana, pranayama and meditation, you can open your body, free your heart, and liberate your mind.

In the Summer of 2013 there was a double grand trine where six planets in our solar system formed a 6 pointed geometry in the sky, a Merkaba.  

Synchronistically, several traveling musicians happened to be staying at Onedoorland during that time.

I had just returned from a two-week trip back home to Canada for the first time in two years, so on my return back to Portland I was ready to make some music. And to be surrounded by so many amazing musicians who I admire and respect was a dream come true. 

Inspiration was in the air.
 
We started with the late Josiah Akoya's elven flute magic (Rest in Peace brother.). After that magic was recorded, the bass and synth lines came very naturally. One by one, the 3 female vocalists entered the booth, each performing 3 unique, and completely improvised vocal tracks. It ended up that three women sang vocals and three men played the instrumental parts, reflecting the two triangles in the sky, in harmony and balance.

It was a unique moment where I could see and feel that the harmony of the spheres was mirroring the musical alignment in the studio. 

And boom.

Emanation was born. 

The name of this track speaks to the source of all matter and life that endlessly streams music, truth, beauty and wisdom from the center of every particle in the Universe, all the time.

(Written by Taylor Willis and Milo Hayden)

I had made the vocal for this track almost two years and didn’t know what to do with it. It sounds like a bunch of cows participating in a Gregorian chant, and it didn’t fit ANYWHERE. Fast forward to 5 months ago, and I was playing around with the Ableton Push. It’s a brilliant improvisational composition toy, and while trying to understand dancehall riddims… I made the skeleton of the beat. On a whim I added the cow chant to it, listened to it once, and then showed up on Taylor’s doorstep with this weird sketch… but no where to go with it. Taylor, bless his heart, was completely unfazed at how strange everything was and took it to the next level. Outside of Golden Lotus, this song was the fastest one to come together.

Enter the next chapter of DISSØLV with Fluidify, now available on Gravitas Recordings. Fluidify presents copious vibrant peaks, deep breakdowns, and melodious journeys to unify sacred and party music within four worldly pieces. The harmonization and fluidity of these two polarities offer an exuberant, genre transcendent experience to DISSØLV the boundaries of traditional heavy bass and conscious music. Listeners of various music communities will embark on a captivating expedition across eclectic soundscapes comprised of live instrumentation, hybrid trap, and deep dubstep.

The Dissolving” begins the worldly EP with a mysterious and stimulating electro-acoustic composition. Title track “Fluidify” employs a melodic flute that paves the way into deep, energizing dubstep. The opening violin in “Influx” greets listeners on a consciousness-expanding electronic trajectory, incorporated with heavy dubstep and vocal samples.   The mind-elevating “Don’t Stop” fuses strings and hybrid trap to formulate an ancient-future beat with ethnic influence, fortifying DISSØLV’s ever-evolving sonic journey.

Pondering

Totem is the solo project of Boulder based producer, Phoenix Clay Michael. Phoenix has been playing eastern-style instrumentation for over a decade(tabla, doumbek, darbuki, didgeridoo, ric, native flute etc). With Totem, Phoenix explores the digital domain with rich melodies, psychedelic synths, and exotic instrumentation. Totem culminates these two passions into a modern interpretation of ancient instruments. The sampling style is deep and visceral. Blending sequences of thick bass and instrumentation with live production. Live production includes: Didgeridoo, vocals, synth, keyboard, percussion, and bass. Phoenix's debut album with Totem is titled, The Bonfire of Life, and was written as a motion of solidarity with the native tribes of North America. Totem sees the immense potency that dance has for healing in our culture, and also sees the reverent nature of ancient and native style music. The ultimate thrill is fusing these two things into a continuous musical experience shared amongst listener and maker. Totem is humbled to bring thy dance medication. Aho
