Music, dance & celebration
Music and sound can be the most primal expression of what is. An
expression of what we all are and always shape together. Many musicians
say they could never express in conversation what can be conveyed
through their music. Likewise, music is one of the only realms where
audiences allow themselves to honestly feel. Expansion and sharing can
happen authentically and honestly. Sound is a powerful substance which
in the past has been used in many ways. It can be healing, transforming,
purifying. It can take us to other states and realms. Music will always
be. Every being, every body of water, every rock has its own song. It’s
an aspect, an expression of that very material form of love that makes
up this universe, our planet and us. Sound, song and music can be
explored in myriad ways and we are so excited to see how that will
unfold in the future. There is so much to come.
Below
are some high-frequency musicians and projects. Of course there are so
many more, and as with other pages, this website is about frequency
markers and an experience of what is unfolding. It does not aim to be
complete in any way. Every page represents a sharing of songs of the
people who are creating this new world at a very material level. That
said we will of course keep adding to this page.
