~AQUALUNA~

New ambient project/mix is complete. Much time and consideration has resulted in something I am totally stoked with. I engaged alot of suspense and subtlety, energy and motion, composite and simplicity in this one. It reflects much of my inner cinema and the sonic language visualized thru my custom ear goggles.

Feelin' lazy or un-inspired?

This should wake yo' ass up...

Look at the earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, dont give me fake
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time, give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik
And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

Give me one, cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me piece of mind and trust
Dont forget the rest of us
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

But give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh
And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh

re-blog: THE OTHER SIDE

I am ultra excited to be playing at Oracle Gatherings - "The Other Side" this next Saturday in Seattle. Last year they had me play an ambient set in one of the chill rooms. This year I am lucky enough to play the closing 3am-5am main room slot... Being so close to Halloween, as it was last year, the turn out can be somewhere between 600-1000 people fully decked out in costumes and very much ready to GET ON DOWN! I must admit it can be a bit more hectic than Oracles held at different times of year and in outdoor settings but really really fun none-the-less.
Not to mention the Oracle crew and supporters are some of the best people I know and I have shared many of my best music, friendship and dancing experiences with them over the years.

I arrive Friday Oct 27th around midday and will be cruising around town doing this and that and likely hit a couple record stores. Friday night I invite any Seattle friends who would like to hang out, laugh and catch up... to join me at The Chapel Bar on Capitol Hill (formerly an actual mortuary:) One of my best friends and awesome DJ, Rebecca will be selecting some choice tech-house and grooves and i imagine i will sneak on the decks to give her a break now and then. Stop by between 10-2 to say hi or hopefully spend some time. www.thechapelbar.com for more info.

Looking forward to a super fun time and tons of great music and people.

Friday the 13th

Does anyone wanna kick it this Friday night and watch scary movies, eat snacks, sip crunks and maybe even carve some pumpkins?

In Santa Monica/Venice...westsiiiiiide!

lemme know...

p.s. anyone own any scary flicks?

spirit

falling towards center...some glimmering gossamer strand leading out of the
web of monotony, of apathy. pushing thru habitual reflexes, causing that
curling motion, that mimicing of potato bugs...a folding in of the
self...seeking warmth, seeking shelter, seeking sight: following by braille
this gossamer strand tied to the earth.

purpose?
is there some greater purpose than this? does there exist some cosmic slate
in the great office of the gods, a slate of purpose?

i wake, feel the cool folds of the dream dissipate as my feet touch
floor...dust stirring, sending tingles to toes...i marvel at the chill, at
the miracle that i rise from the void bearing flesh...flesh that feels.

i tell myself there is a method to this seeming madness of monotony. i
repeat resolutely that this method has form, has weight, has meter...that
this method has purpose that can be molded, has matter.

feet propelling forward...
into routine, folowing a revolution as ancient as soil: that i must wake,
must be, that i must do and then return each night is a mystery.

and yet somehow, the fragile faith that again finds a pattern in the
patterns of things. a pattern that is mine and mine alone. my gossamer
web, my cloud, my dreamscape.

each time that siren melody comes calling, i follow. listening
distractedly, as if possessed...climbing over precipice, dangling over
cavern, digging under decay...emerging once again holding nothing. blind.

the waking non-entity that is me, alone...with wispy fragments of siren
calls to guide me...to lead me through the monotony and towards center...to
push past center and into transmutation...to guide past alchemy and into
ether...and finally back into flesh, all before nightfall.

before the shades fall once more, i learn to open as a flower does to sun.
i learn that this flesh needs moisture, needs nourishment, needs sun,

needs love...

and my divided self is somehow seared back into one...secure in the
smallness of the me that is flesh; confident in the me that is vast, that is
spirit.
