This is the live recording of an intimate and epic performance I gave at PlayThink festival in Kentucky this past weekend, June 18th. It was my first time in Kentucky, and they showed me such a proper welcome.

The body of work in this recording represents several years and thousands of hours of writing, recording, rehearsing, freestyling, and emceeing. And I'm super grateful to be able to share it with you all today.

It was a really special performance, and I got to share it with my partner Ronja Sebastian and my new friend Kiyoshi Shelton who came up and spit some freestyles with me. Shout out to Nyrus, Kaleidofox, CHiEF, David Miacheal Tardy, MP Beats, CloZee, and Tom Misch, who all provided instrumentals for the set.

And lastly, a huge shout out to Paige Hankla and the whole PlayThink family for creating such a potent and precious vortex in Kentucky. I am grateful and forever changed to experience the magic of your community.

Hope you connect fam.

Much love,
Zen

VIBES CONTEST

This is track #5 in my challenge to record and release a new track every 48 hours for a two week period.

{Shoutout to MP Beats on the track}

Osmosis is a term describing a tendency in the molecules of a solvent, such as water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.

It is a chemical process that occurs in order to achieve balance, stability, equalization, and harmony.

Since we are mostly water, this term applies to us. As living beings, we are constantly inhaling and exhaling hydrogen and oxygen, losing and gaining appropriate molecules in order to find equanimity within our constantly shifting human organism.

The term is often applied in regard to our capacity as human beings to absorb knowledge and information from our surrounding environment.

In a metaphoric sense, it speaks to our longing and desire for proper alignment with the universal force that has been described as the Tao, or the ever evolving flux of the present moment. To exist in harmony with the natural order of the Tao is to be constantly engaged in this dance of harmonious equilibrium.

We receive, and so we shall give. We live, and so we shall die.

This is an inherent and natural process that occurs in an essentially perfect and coherent manner, one that the logical mind can scarcely comprehend... but it is constantly happening none the less.

🙏

Osmosis

Each track I create allows me to discover something new about myself. 

Every beat invites me into a whole new constellation of archetypes within me.

Some beats invite me into a more playful part of myself, whereas others bring out more of my depth and intensity.

Some tracks expose a more humorous or sensual side of myself, while others evoke a more serious or somber texture within my psyche.

I’m actually getting to know and love myself in deeper ways through each track, which is super cool.  

In some tracks, I get to play the sexy saucy pirate rapper.
 In others, I get to play the mystic guru poet. 
In others still, I get to be the radical revolutionary orator.  

Sometimes, I get to play all 3 in 1 track!!!  

All of them are me, just different sides of me.
 And I like playing all of these parts of me.
  It’s fun. It’s liberating. It’s empowering.  

It’s also the least boring form of therapy I could imagine, haha.

It’s like I’m getting to see what reoccurring themes wind through my mind in real time. 

And then, I get to share that process with the world, and see how people react.  Quite fascinating really.

  ~~~  

Today’s song has a bit of an ancient future feel to it. One foot in the past, one in the present, and one in the yet to be.  

(Yes, my multi-dimensional body has 3 legs… at least.) 🐙   

There are elements of inspiration, peace, playfulness, empowerment, and hope. 

There are also elements of realism, sadness, longing, and frustration.

  But overall, like much of my recent work, the track is rather celebratory, a buoyant ode to our connection with timelessness, and that which transcends all of the pressing issues and intricacies of this mad world.

  ~~~

  If you feel inspired to listen, I think you might just enjoy it.

  I know I enjoyed making it for you.  

~~~

  This is track #6 in my challenge to record and a release a new song every 48 hours for a period of two weeks…  

Without further ado, I proudly present to you:  

Drumroll please…

  ~~~

  Ancestral Vessel

~~~

  {Oooooh, fancy name!!!}  

{No, but in all seriousness, it’s pretty dope}  

{Instrumental by MP Beats}  

~~~  

I pray that it serves you well my friends.
  Much love.

  🙏

Ancestral Vessel

The word Apotheosis refers to the highest point in the development of something; the pinnacle, apex, culmination or climax. 

It often refers particularly to a human being having a direct experience of their divinity or God/Goddess Nature.

'Apotheosis of Hope'  by Michael Divine

Apotheosis

Almost every CD I loved growing up had a bonus track on it...

A hidden gem, a special extra moment at the end of the 'actual' album as a treat and surprise for everyone who made it to the end of the record.

This song, a molten meditation on the beauty of life, is the 'bonus track' from my forthcoming release 'Zenith' which I recorded this past November. (Watch out for it on all major platforms soon...)

I hope it blesses your day and your life.

Love, 
ZT

Miracle

You are the one infinite intelligence masquerading as a singular separate self.

May you dream vividly, powerfully, and beautifully.

May you remember.

Instrumental ~ Like Water by Colbert

A New Dream

This song goes out to anybody who knows struggle, grief, addiction, and overcoming.
It’s about the journey of purification we all go through in order to remember our higher selves.

Jumpsuit Records : Label DJ : Yohm : Mix 001

Somewhere in the space between Alan Watts and Aesop Rock, Atmosphere and Allen Ginsberg, Immanuel Kant and Immortal Technique, Kahlil Ghibran and Kendrick Lamar, Rumi and RZA...

There is a special place.

A place where the majestic backdrop of boom bap music is populated by notions of prosperity and peace, where cityscapes and celestial horizons meet in a glorious display of poetic union.

This is where you’ll find Zen Tempest.
