☉ by ☉
everybody comes from some where.
everyone has their own personal mythology; your story, the tale that ties you to the earth
ultimately, a key composed of vibrations ~ microscopic coordinated gestures.
☉ (aka circle recordings: one)
these recordings represent a presentation of vibrations contextualized in space; where no attempt is made to isolate the sound or separate the listener from the environment.
special care was taken to preserve the sound of the space, the room and the environment. no reverbs, delays or special effects were used to manipulate these recordings. recorded in sequence as a single take and presented with no edits or overdubs.
compositions are meditations on home, place, lineage, truth and family/nations
*released in concert with the pink supermoon and to mark the birth anniversary of the great elder and lineage holder, lady day, queen billie.
