Are The Animals Gone

Jazzzz in ya bones!!! This song was written during my visit to New Orleans Jazz fest 2014.  One of my most inspiring trips/opportunities to share music thus far happened in May this year when "Soul Visions (Rising Appalachia + The Human Experience) were invited to play at the Sugar Mill with Thievery Corporation (live) and Galactic.  What an incredible opportunity to share the stage with such high level musicians.  Jazz fest BLEW MY MIND.  The city becomes completely inundated with music 24 hours a day.  New Orleans stole my heart.

I was staying at my friend Roc's house (Roc you are a LEGEND).  His house is incredibly inspiring (We recorded 2 of the songs from "Soul Visions" in a closet/bathroom at his home (and may I add that his Kitchen is one of the most magical creative zones EVER.  

One night I couldn't sleep.  I was so overwhelmed with inspiration from going to concerts 12 hours a day, that the music in my head would not turn off.  The only thing I could do was work on music.  That night, I wrote this song.  I also had the vision of recording some especially incredible musicians while I was in New Orleans, yet had unfortunately not found the write players yet.  The following morning, I played the new song for Roc and mentioned to him that I'd really love some guitar.  He said (in his lovely Kiwi accent), "I know this pretty rippin guitar player from this band Trombone Shorty" (if you don't know who they are, do yourself a favor and check them out).  The band happened to be in town playing Jazz Fest (they tour 200 shows a year lol).  Roc called Pete Murano (you are also a LEGEND)  and he was super into the idea of us having a session.  

The day I went over to meet him I was a bit nervous.  A lead guitarist from a huge band can often be "not so approachable", but Pete could not be any cooler, down to earth, and over all an absolutely chill guy (and beyond ripping guitar player).  I love working with you Pete and look forward to creating a lot more music (look for another song on this album coming out soon)

Fast forward a couple months, I email Eric Oberthaler  (eO) with some horn section ideas (Eric, you are also a LEGEND) and here we are with a new song (which makes me dance in pants, and sometimes without pants).

I hope you enjoy this song and get some JAZZZZ IN YA BONES!!!

Love,

-David

From The Roots We Spring Forth

This is the first track I've ever released featuring my own vocals.
No lyrics yet, just 'oohs and ahhs'.
Actually there aren't even any 'oohs'..

The album art is an accidental photo I took of the Kathmandu "skyline".

HARNESS THE SOUP! 

"Cosmoganic has whipped up something quite tasty in his most recent, wholesome release, “Harness the Soup”. As an eight-course meal, featuring creamy psydub and earthy swamp, it’s a gorgeous symphony meant to satisfy any dance floor or curious audiophile. This hypnotic whompfest takes us on a groovy dive into an electric ocean of head-bobbing rhythms and crunchy melodies. Its alluring harmonies and tribal drumscapes are refreshing, to say the least, intertwined against a backbone of memorable composition. 
Prepare for an auditory treat; your soup is ready." -Nick Sumbles 

Blending the realms of Earth and Space through electronic/organic hybrids, Cosmoganic (Ollie Jackson) creates sounds for our evolving species in the Spirit of Love for all Nature and Life... his debut album 'Harness The Soup' is a squish bass lovers dream. 

Now available through Swamp Music!

Häana's new single Sand evokes memories of an overcast moody Morro Bay and finding sand dollars on the beach in the wintertime. Häana takes listeners on a journey between plaintive stillness with lyrics in her own invented language juxtaposed with a dance chorus reminiscent of her time living in Spain stomping boots at a Bulgarian dance party in a plaza overlooking the Alhambra. This LA-based sound artist is following her own muse.
