Dear Bluetech Tribe:
I just joined this tribe and I wanted to tell you a bit about myself and a vision that's currently forming within me.
My name is Shalom and I'm a photographer - I'm also a passionate lover of the kind of conscious, expansive electronica that Bluetech creates as well as the other masters of shamanic soundforms: Shulman, Entheogenic, Shpongle, Shakatura, and my friend David Battenfield.
I have a vision of creating a music mix that awakens the listener into a felt experience of the One. I've put together a few mixes of expansion-catalyzing music, which I've shared with friends at lucid music appreciation gatherings (to which each of us brings a mix). [There are six or seven of us – we gather, become illuminated, and share our mixes with each other, which we listen to in total silence. We've done this a number of times, and it's been a glorious experience every time.] This time, I'm thinking about taking my music appreciation mix to the next level by contacting the artists who I’d like to include in the mix, and asking for their permission to assemble their songs into a compilation that I would seek to have distributed by a label.
I want to do this in a way that truly benefits everyone involved in the process - musicians, producer, label, and listeners. I have some close friends who are established musicians with CDs on the market, so I'm taking my cues from them about how to develop this project.
One thing is clear: the intention of this mix is to combine onto a single CD sounds that awaken the heart and mind to an immediate felt experience of the One. Today’s urban-techno-shamanistic revival (expressed through the heart of the Burning Man culture, through the new Entheogenesis film, through our conscious dance and movement culture, through awakened spiritual practice) is a vital driver of what I feel is a global awakening that's happening now. I see groups such as Entheogenic, Shulman, Shpongle, Bluetech, and company to be supplying fuel for this evolution. I believe that the universe is ripe for this evolution, and for the active participation of those who are deeply committed to it. One of the ways that I, personally, see to participate in this is to assemble shamanic soundforms across an array of artists into a single CD that functions as a carrier wave for this evolving consciousness.
A big ambition, I know.
I believe that it's not only possible, but vital and necessary. The world thirsts for light, for union, for celebration of the One. This is my mission.
And so, I send this message out to the Bluetech tribe, trusting that in the rampant perfection of things, it will reach exactly the hearts and minds it needs to reach.
One,
Shalom
