SHAMANIC TRANCE DANCE - my first solo album with Sounds
True - became the perfect opportunity to explore new
sounds, rhythms and sonic landscapes, and to push
beyond the boundaries of my own playing and studio
skills. It also was an ideal time to work with some new
supporting musicians whose extraordinary contributions
to this album help bring everything to a dynamic new
level of contemporary shamanic trance music.
My intention in making this album was to employ two of
my long-time favorite collaborating musicians (Dashmesh
Khalsa & Mark Seelig) with some musicians I have not
yet worked with. I wanted to exclusively use artists
with sensibilities and playing styles that are informed
and inspired by shamanic experience and expanded states
of consciousness and in this regard, I am thrilled with
the outcome!
When indigenous shamans connect to the spirit world,
they donÆt sit still and let their mind wander-they
dance with the spirits and let their power animals
dance through them. Today, ecstatic dancers and
shamanic practitioners speak of being ôtransportedö by
music, carried away in body and soul to an expanded
state of being. On Shamanic Trance Dance, world-class
trance percussionist and shamanic practitioner Byron
Metcalf masterfully blends timeless indigenous sounds
of drums, percussion and didgeridoo with driving trance
rhythms and foundational electro grooves. The result is
an organic sound tapestry that impels you to
move-freeing the mind, energizing the body, and opening
your spirit to inspiration.
Byron is joined by supporting musicians from Australia,
Peru, Germany, Arizona and Colorado. The result is a
truly unique synthesis of the primordial and
contemporary rhythms and sounds of trance, ritual dance
and transformation - authentically informed with
shamanic wisdom and practice by all of those involved
in Shamanic Trance Dance.
The six tracks on Shamanic Trance Dance invite the
listener and the dancer to explore the various
landscapes of the shamanic world in a personal and
experiential way. Dance and merge with your own
inner-wisdom and animal spirits; travel through your
inner and outer realities from a totally embodied
perspective; play with the rhythms of your breath and
body; confront and transcend blocks and barriers that
inhibit and stifle your growth and creative energies.
"When I first heard the final mixes for Shamanic Trance
Dance streaming from my monitors, my jaw dropped. Each
track was deep and full, with a pulse I could feel
right in my chest, yet every instrument emerged with
crystal clarity. I felt bathed in rhythm, taken deep by
the insistent heartbeat of the drums, carried away by
the slow drone of the didgeridoo. I had worked with
Byron on his previous Sounds True release-The Spirit of
Healing, a collection of drum journeys with shamanic
practitioner Sandra Ingerman-so I shouldnÆt have been
surprised at the breath and depth of this sonic
tapestry. Yet it took me beyond myself in ways I hadnÆt
expected. I tried to simply sit and listen. I really
did. But within seconds I was rocking to the rhythm,
and soon I found myself out of my chair and dancing
around the living room, lost in the pure joy of
movement. When the music came to a stop, I looked up at
the speakers, stunned that an hour had gone by. I was
smiling deep inside, as if a heaviness had been washed
from me by these pulsing waves of sound.
This album has power-the power to shift your inner
landscape and open you to the deeper rhythms of you own
life. May your own journey be richer for it. "
