▓█░ ░█▓
▓█░ Although Byron has been working ░█▓
▓█░ on The Shaman's Heart for almost ░█▓
▓█░ two ░█▓
▓█░ years, in a very real sense this ░█▓
▓█░ project represents his entire ░█▓
▓█░ life's journey and ░█▓
▓█░ overriding quest: to develop the ░█▓
▓█░ ability to live in the world and ░█▓
▓█░ remains ░█▓
▓█░ heart-centered -- to stay ░█▓
▓█░ connected to one's compassionate ░█▓
▓█░ core -- no ░█▓
▓█░ matter what the circumstances may ░█▓
▓█░ be. Along with his music, Byron ░█▓
▓█░ has ░█▓
▓█░ chosen the shamanic path, "the ░█▓
▓█░ path with heart" as don Juan ░█▓
▓█░ referred to it, ░█▓
▓█░ as a primary method to accomplish ░█▓
▓█░ this most challenging and ░█▓
▓█░ rewarding goal. ░█▓
▓█░ ░█▓
▓█░ The Shaman's Heart is a powerful ░█▓
▓█░ and unique rhythmic and ░█▓
▓█░ soundworlds ░█▓
▓█░ trance experience based on the ░█▓
▓█░ traditional structures of ░█▓
▓█░ shamanic drumming. ░█▓
▓█░ The entire journey is built using ░█▓
▓█░ a collection of buffalo drums, ░█▓
▓█░ frame drums ░█▓
▓█░ and rattles, presented as a ░█▓
▓█░ continuous unfolding rhythmic ░█▓
▓█░ state starting with ░█▓
▓█░ lone peyote rattles and ░█▓
▓█░ eventually evolving into a ░█▓
▓█░ mandala-like polyrhythmic ░█▓
▓█░ ecstacy. Fellow traveller, friend ░█▓
▓█░ and collaborator Steve Roach is ░█▓
▓█░ also ░█▓
▓█░ on-board, providing a ░█▓
▓█░ shapeshifting undercurrent of ░█▓
▓█░ essential soundworlds ░█▓
▓█░ and didgeridoo provided to create ░█▓
▓█░ a balanced sense of support for ░█▓
▓█░ the ░█▓
▓█░ intrepid inner traveler. Adding ░█▓
▓█░ to the experience is the sense ░█▓
▓█░ that it's all ░█▓
▓█░ occurring in a grounded, ░█▓
▓█░ ceremonial space through the use ░█▓
▓█░ of sounds from ░█▓
▓█░ the natural world. This is unlike ░█▓
▓█░ any of the solo projects or ░█▓
▓█░ collaborations from ░█▓
▓█░ Byron and Steve. A perfect ░█▓
▓█░ example of the notion that "the ░█▓
▓█░ music is the ░█▓
▓█░ medicine." Review by Frank ░█▓
▓█░ MacEowen, author and shamanic ░█▓
▓█░ guide:s ░█▓
▓█░ ░█▓
▓█░ "In The Shaman's Heart , virtuoso ░█▓
▓█░ percussionist Byron Metcalf takes ░█▓
▓█░ us on a ░█▓
▓█░ potent journey into the ░█▓
▓█░ archetypal depths of shamanic ░█▓
▓█░ awakening. Blending ░█▓
▓█░ poly-rhythmic percussion and the ░█▓
▓█░ hot spark of shaman's rattles ░█▓
▓█░ with ░█▓
▓█░ rainsticks, didgeridoos, the ░█▓
▓█░ sound of wind, the grokking of ░█▓
▓█░ ravens, and ░█▓
▓█░ supported by the sonic wizardry ░█▓
▓█░ of Steve Roach, The Shaman's ░█▓
▓█░ Heart will ░█▓
▓█░ carry the listener into that ░█▓
▓█░ place of ancestral memory where ░█▓
▓█░ the Ancient ░█▓
▓█░ Ones beckon us to remember the ░█▓
▓█░ crackling fires, deep forests, ░█▓
▓█░ and ░█▓
▓█░ ceremonial caverns where the ░█▓
▓█░ shaman's heart was originally ░█▓
▓█░ born. Whatever ░█▓
▓█░ our cultural or ancestral ░█▓
▓█░ background we all have ancestors ░█▓
▓█░ who were ░█▓
▓█░ shamans and shamanic ░█▓
▓█░ practitioners. In The Shaman's ░█▓
▓█░ Heart we are reminded ░█▓
▓█░ of this powerful spirit in each ░█▓
▓█░ of us; a spirit that is needed on ░█▓
▓█░ the planet, now ░█▓
▓█░ more than ever." ░█▓

▓█░ The heart is like an alchemical ░█▓
▓█░ chamber - possessing the power to ░█▓
▓█░ transform ░█▓
▓█░ and transmute the fears, wounds, ░█▓
▓█░ and patterns that block us from ░█▓
▓█░ alwayss ░█▓
▓█░ traveling on what Don Juan called ░█▓
▓█░ µthe path with heart.╞ The ░█▓
▓█░ ability to remain ░█▓
▓█░ µheart centered╞ - to stay ░█▓
▓█░ connected to one╞s compassionate ░█▓
▓█░ core in the face ░█▓
▓█░ of adversity and personal ░█▓
▓█░ challenge is a hallmark of ░█▓
▓█░ spiritual and psychological ░█▓
▓█░ maturity. Shamanism is an ancient ░█▓
▓█░ spiritual system that helps ░█▓
▓█░ develop the ░█▓
▓█░ capacity to live fully in the ░█▓
▓█░ world of the heart. Using ancient ░█▓
▓█░ and ░█▓
▓█░ contemporary rhythmic techniques, ░█▓
▓█░ the intention of The Shaman's ░█▓
▓█░ Heartis an ░█▓
▓█░ invitation to journey into the ░█▓
▓█░ infinite regions of this ░█▓
▓█░ heart-space dimension . . ░█▓
▓█░ . and beyond. ░█▓
▓█░ ░█▓
▓█░ The Shaman's Heart is a ░█▓
▓█░ continuous 73 minute journey ░█▓
▓█░ using varying rhythmic ░█▓
▓█░ subdivisons of the classic 220 ░█▓
▓█░ beats per minute journey tempo. ░█▓
▓█░ The ░█▓
▓█░ uninterrupted experience is ░█▓
▓█░ created from a collection of ░█▓
▓█░ buffalo drums, frame ░█▓
▓█░ drums and rattles. This time and ░█▓
▓█░ space altering ceremony is ░█▓
▓█░ supported with ░█▓
▓█░ an evolving, breathing atmosphere ░█▓
▓█░ of subtle contrasting harmonic ░█▓
▓█░ embraces. ░█▓
▓█░ Adding to the experience is the ░█▓
▓█░ sense that it is all occurring in ░█▓
▓█░ a grounded, ░█▓
▓█░ environmental space through the ░█▓
▓█░ use of sounds from the natural ░█▓
▓█░ world. This ░█▓
▓█░ potent offering of µmusic as ░█▓
▓█░ medicine╞ can guide and support ░█▓
▓█░ even the most ░█▓
▓█░ intrepid of inner travelers. ░█▓
▓█░ ░█▓
▓█░ A review from Wind and Wire ░█▓
▓█░ This recording is like taking a ░█▓
▓█░ trip way up river into the heart ░█▓
▓█░ of a primitive ░█▓
▓█░ rainforest ecosystem. I can't ░█▓
▓█░ imagine what listening to an ░█▓
▓█░ album this powerful ░█▓
▓█░ and primal would be like in a ░█▓
▓█░ pitch black room on a killer ░█▓
▓█░ stereo system. I ░█▓
▓█░ suspect that I'd be a little ░█▓
▓█░ freaked out (not in a bad way). ░█▓
▓█░ Metcalf, with ░█▓
▓█░ assistance from Steve Roach, has ░█▓
▓█░ delivered a auditory experience ░█▓
▓█░ that is not ░█▓
▓█░ just immersive, it's almost ░█▓
▓█░ transcendent (and as someone who ░█▓
▓█░ has chided ░█▓
▓█░ other reviewers for their use of ░█▓
▓█░ that word, I'm loathe to bring it ░█▓
▓█░ up, but I ░█▓
▓█░ can't imagine a more apt ░█▓
▓█░ descriptor). ░█▓
▓█░ ░█▓
▓█░ It's not just the superb layer ░█▓
▓█░ upon layer of drums and ░█▓
▓█░ percussion by Metcalf ░█▓
▓█░ (buffalo drum, rattles, udu and ░█▓
▓█░ clay pot, seed pods, shells, et ░█▓
▓█░ al.). or Roach's ░█▓
▓█░ invaluable if not magical ░█▓
▓█░ atmospheric textures on assorted ░█▓
▓█░ synths and wind ░█▓
▓█░ instruments. or the sense of ░█▓
▓█░ being surrounded by the ░█▓
▓█░ incredibly vivid nature ░█▓
▓█░ sounds Metcalf recorded for this ░█▓
▓█░ album. It's the way it all fits ░█▓
▓█░ together like ░█▓
▓█░ one organic breathing entity, ░█▓
▓█░ enveloping you so completely that ░█▓
▓█░ this is like ░█▓
▓█░ taking a literal voyage up the ░█▓
▓█░ Amazon. Seldom do I endorse an ░█▓
▓█░ album this ░█▓
▓█░ thoroughly, but honestly, if you ░█▓
▓█░ have ever enjoyed ethno-tribal ░█▓
▓█░ music even ░█▓
▓█░ to a moderate degree, The ░█▓
▓█░ Shaman's Heart is, well, ░█▓
▓█░ indispensable and ░█▓
▓█░ essential. You have to hear this ░█▓
▓█░ recording. The seven tracks all ░█▓
▓█░ flow into one ░█▓
▓█░ another, united by the ░█▓
▓█░ omnipresent assortment of nature ░█▓
▓█░ sounds, yet are ░█▓
▓█░ distinct by the various ░█▓
▓█░ percussion and drums that Metcalf ░█▓
▓█░ employs. Some ░█▓
▓█░ rhythms are fast and fiery ░█▓
▓█░ (although never to the point that ░█▓
▓█░ one feels ░█▓
▓█░ overwhelmed) while others are ░█▓
▓█░ slow and sensual, but all the ░█▓
▓█░ drum and ░█▓
▓█░ percussion work carries an ░█▓
▓█░ unmistakable air of primal energy ░█▓
▓█░ as well as ░█▓
▓█░ mysticism and spirituality. ░█▓
▓█░ What's doubly remarkable, at ░█▓
▓█░ least to me, is how ░█▓
▓█░ this CD is seldom, if ever, ░█▓
▓█░ "dark" in the sense that I had no ░█▓
▓█░ negative feelings ░█▓
▓█░ creep into my consciousness, such ░█▓
▓█░ as fear, foreboding, or similar ░█▓
▓█░ emotions. ░█▓
▓█░ Based on Metcalf's liner notes, ░█▓
▓█░ in which he uses terms such as ░█▓
▓█░ "music as ░█▓
▓█░ medicine" and other comments, he ░█▓
▓█░ seems to be intent on making The ░█▓
▓█░ Shaman's Heart an inviting and ░█▓
▓█░ even healing recording, quite the ░█▓
▓█░ opposite ░█▓
▓█░ from the more typical dark ░█▓
▓█░ ambient/tribal album which I have ░█▓
▓█░ used to scare ░█▓
▓█░ little kids at Halloween when ░█▓
▓█░ they go trick or treating! ░█▓
▓█░ ░█▓
▓█░ While Metcalf's amazing skills on ░█▓
▓█░ drums/percussion are doubtless ░█▓
▓█░ the ░█▓
▓█░ centerpiece of this musical ░█▓
▓█░ feast, I can't stress enough how ░█▓
▓█░ important a role ░█▓
▓█░ Steve Roach plays on this CD. He ░█▓
▓█░ selflessly assumes a posture in ░█▓
▓█░ the ░█▓
▓█░ background most of the time and ░█▓
▓█░ yet his synths (as well as some ░█▓
▓█░ didge and ░█▓
▓█░ ocarina) prove to be an addition ░█▓
▓█░ to the recording whose importance ░█▓
▓█░ cannots ░█▓
▓█░ be overstated. His flowing washes ░█▓
▓█░ and warm drones provide the ░█▓
▓█░ perfect ░█▓
▓█░ backdrop and, working in ░█▓
▓█░ conjunction with the nature ░█▓
▓█░ sounds, he has woven ░█▓
▓█░ a tapestry that doesn't just ░█▓
▓█░ support Metcalf's artistry, but ░█▓
▓█░ complements it in ░█▓
▓█░ the best sense of the word, i.e. ░█▓
▓█░ he "completes" the musical ░█▓
▓█░ illusion of being ░█▓
▓█░ transported to this lush vibrant ░█▓
▓█░ land of unending bird calls, ░█▓
▓█░ passionate drum ░█▓
▓█░ beats, lush canopies of trees ░█▓
▓█░ high overhead, gently flowing ░█▓
▓█░ water, and ░█▓
▓█░ primitive yet powerful energy ░█▓
▓█░ which seems to permeate every ░█▓
▓█░ molecule. ░█▓
▓█░ ░█▓
▓█░ So, excuse my gushing, folks. The ░█▓
▓█░ Shaman's Heart is a perfect ░█▓
▓█░ recording. I ░█▓
▓█░ couldn't begin to find fault with ░█▓
▓█░ it. In fact, just the opposite, ░█▓
▓█░ as this is as close ░█▓
▓█░ to a magical experience committed ░█▓
▓█░ to the recording medium as you're ░█▓
▓█░ likely to ░█▓
▓█░ hear any time soon. My mind ░█▓
▓█░ boggles at the idea this was ░█▓
▓█░ created in a studio, ░█▓
▓█░ as it almost feels like it ░█▓
▓█░ emerged newborn from the very ░█▓
▓█░ heart of the jungle ░█▓
▓█░ itself. There's little else to ░█▓
▓█░ say except "Wow!" ░█▓
