“Stand With Us to Bless the Waters” is our prayer of solidarity for the Lakota Sioux Nation, & all the Water Protectors who have converged in North Dakota Standing Rock Reservation at the Dakota Access Pipeline. This is the first time in centuries that all the indigenous nations of Turtle Island (America) have come together in unity & guardianship for our Earth. This unprecedented tribal convergence has been catalyzed by the pipeline, but is representative of something much larger & more profound than a protest.

In support for the situation in North Dakota, Amani Friend (Liquid Bloom) and Summit Jaffe (Numatik) were both separately inspired to create music for water and prayer. Coincidentally, the two tracks were both finished at the same time on fall equinox and they were also written in the same key, making it ideal to interweave them into a one unified piece of music. While sitting in the New Mexico Hot Springs after Unify festival, Amani and Summit had the inspiration to curate this remix album. Producers from all over the world, like Earth Cry, Mystral, Soulacybin, Martin’s Garden, Ecometric, Gumi, and Twin Shape added their unique psychedelic downtempo flavors. Native elders like Black Fox Pomani, John Ball Running Eagle, and Yona FrenchHawk imbued the music with intentional water prayers. United together, we humbly offer this medicinal musical journey in support and healing. Water is Life!

Liquid Bloom & Numatik - Stand With Us To Bless The Waters (Twin Shape Remix) [Desert Trax]

Live PA - Psychill/Psydub

Labels:
Mindspring Music | Desert Trax 

Bio:
Twin Shape is a live project blending elements of Progressive and Psychedelic music into a spacey, Downtempo, realm. The feel ranges between bright and melodic, dark and mysterious, to lush and atmospheric. The sound is constantly evolving and will keep you guessing without disappointment. Choosing to let the music speak for itself, Twin Shape performs from behind a mask that can change from show to show. Incorporating visual and laser projections – expect to be pulled into an audio/visual journey of his creation.
