Revival by Ru Rose

To revive is to nurture life not lost
It is to tend to the roots
A healing back into vitality
acknowledging the disharmony
exhaling the responsibility
to walk with this earth
to return
to remember
this is our revival

This album was made as a sacred gift . Revival is the devotional creative outpouring of a decade of steady tending to the muse. Songs sailed upon the wind on the mountainside beneath branches of aspen and cedar. The songs were caught in the hands of a sensitive mother. Ru Rose held and tended to the songs for most of ten years with steadfast devotion to a chop wood & haul water way of life, deep in the woods and high on a mountain off-grid and building a home from the ground up weaving the worlds of family, mother, and artist.The album Revival is the musical tapestry woven from a profound moment in time of stepping out of modern culture and into the wild unknown

With love for the Muse,
The rhythms of the seasons,
And life as ceremony,
This album was created from each song recorded Live-Off-The-Forest-Floor to the tuning of 432 Hz
Within the woods and mountains of the unceded and ancestral territories of the Sinixt and Ktunaxa nation, also known as the Kootenays of British Columbia.
A moment was held in ritual and song
A baby was growing in the womb within
Family and Art held and woven as one
Ru Rose was pregnant with child, or had a baby daughter asleep upon her back for each recording of this album
Her devoted partner Kai Cabodyna helping hold the fruition with sound recording, videography, instrumentation of drum, bass, and banjo
And holding the roles of father and partner
Their son adding steadiness with a drum and the sweetness of his voice
musical friends upon violin, native flute, and strings would accompany
As well as birds, insects, squirrels, and elementals, also adding their magic


Revival is now born
And like all who come to be born unto this blessed Earth
and all that is wild and longed for
this offering is perfect in its imperfection
Like a seed in the wind
Unknowing of where it may land
May this offering come to be held in the hands of the kindred it was born for
May it give nourishment, sustenance
And from its life may more seeds of creation come to be
And so it is
And so it shall be
Blessed be
