TOTAL ECLIPSE: WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?

Blasting off to one hell of a show on a 1200 mile road trip through the mystics of the wild wild west. Shit gets real interesting when all credentials (press passes) fall through the cracks. A quest for transformation during this native symbiotic moment was not one to be missed. Here’s a story on manifestations, foggy memory and laying witness to that great Oregon Eclipse in full totality.

Drums vs. Sparklers

EXPERIMENT: DRUMS VS. SPARKLERS

Burn it away. I just can’t see it.

Always there. Like a splinter.

Never subsiding. Only sinking. Deep into subconsciousness.

A dangerous place. Where all of my deepest fears collide and give way to new coping mechanisms. They teach me how to lie to myself and push the negatives aside.

And now there is nothing but joy.

But something is missing, as if I’m no longer myself. Like I’m only half of what I should be.

As if the spectrum of life suddenly became one color.

Maybe there’s more to life than goodness. Maybe evolution had all kinds of emotions in mind for proper functionality of our brains.

Many people claim to have the answer. Many people try their best to ignore. But life continually presents itself in all kinds of ways.

It’s when you fall off your bike, then start wearing a helmet.

– That’s what happens when you’re at the farm.

SONG: THERAVADA (INSTRUMENTAL)

“Enlightenment is not imagining figures of light but making the darkness conscious.” – Carl Jung

The most beautiful thing about sharing a musical canvas is the insight into a different world of thought. A great collaboration is like having a stimulating conversation, where both parties are always enthralled by what they have to say. In this exchange, Ichion had a track of ambient, glitchy sounds in which he specializes. We used that energy – the swells of glass-textured sound waves, the prickling static – and wrote a melody and lyrics that were appropriate for both the music and song title.

“Theravada” is a devout school of Buddhism drawing its teachings from the earliest record of such knowledge. When first listening to Ichion’s initial track, we couldn’t help but recognize the constant droning of a low frequency. Our guess was that it was Ichion’s intent to reference Buddhist chanting, such as the OM mantra. The first who used this kind of meditation must have been aware of its physiological effects on the body. According to Ajay Anil Gurjar and Siddharth A. Ladhake’s journal on “Time-Frequency Analysis of Chanting Sanskrit Divine Sound “OM” Mantra”, they state that “Mantra is intrinsically related to sound and sound is reverberating in everything in this universe. A Mantra is a sound repeated over and over until it integrates into our consciousness – frees the mind from its constant doing, and elevates us to an altered state of awareness.” In other words, frequency is the catalyst of our world, so how could it not affect our body?

Burn it away. I just can’t see it.

Always there. Like a splinter.

Never subsiding. Only sinking. Deep into subconsciousness.

A dangerous place. Where all of my deepest fears collide and give way to new coping mechanisms. They teach me how to lie to myself and push the negatives aside.

And now there is nothing but joy.

But something is missing, as if I’m no longer myself. Like I’m only half of what I should be.

As if the spectrum of life suddenly became one color.

Maybe there’s more to life than goodness. Maybe evolution had all kinds of emotions in mind for proper functionality of our brains.
