about
Dive into the immersive world of "Prayers To The Flame," a musical tapestry that pays tribute to the primal element of Fire. This track, deeply infused with dub-style elements, draws inspiration from the enchanting vibrations of the Middle East, while skillfully capturing the dynamic and transformative nature of Fire itself.
As you listen, the crackling of flames takes center stage, intertwining with the rhythmic mastery of "Jason O'Keefe." With the Udu and Frame drums, O'Keefe orchestrates a captivating cadence that drives the energy forward, inviting dancers to surrender to the pulse of Fire itself.
Adding an ethereal dimension, "Eric Zang" weaves the mesmerizing melodies of the Kaval Flute, evoking the timeless tunes of the Middle East. These sonic tales infuse the composition with a cultural tapestry, painting a vivid sonic landscape that resonates deep within.
"Prayers To The Flame" guides the listener through symbolic stages, from the construction of the fire to the unrestrained culmination of the blaze. Here, "Chris Berry" enters the stage with a percussive revelation – his beatboxing becomes the vocal expression of rhythm, intertwining seamlessly with the music's heartbeat.
Throughout the track, a narrative thread weaves a tapestry of storytelling that transports us to ancient gatherings around a fire, where humanity's primal connections are rekindled. The music conjures an imagery of shared stories, shared experiences, and shared roots. It's a celebration of Fire's raw power, a bridge between cultures, and an exploration of the timeless connection that humans have shared around the warmth of a flickering fire.
“Prayers to the Flame” is the 6th track from the coming album called “Home” a collaborative project between Shaman’s Dream and Geometrae, featuring multi-instrumentalists, vocalists, and cutting edge electronic production.
The story is told through the intention of each song, and woven together for the listener to observe each element through the body as a felt experience.
The album begins with the sunrise, as each day begins for us here. The seed is then planted with intentions to grow and flourish, to reach the highest potential as a blooming flower. The 5 elements are explored: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. The 5 elements are needs to transform the seed into a flower, for the fullest expression to be witnessed. Once the flower has bloomed, we welcome the moon, to tap into our psychic senses and merge into the dream world once again, to begin the cycle renewed, to return Home.
