The Story Behind Transformation
The Transformation CD is a collection of songs which
arose out of an event called "Sacred Rave" which toured
for about 2 years in the early 1990's. It consisted of a
2 hour running sequence of pranayama, asana (yoga)
practice, all-out dancing, gong relaxation, and chanting.
I created music live with my voice, a harmonium and a
guitar, and was accompanied by computer loops, DJ
stations, harmonizers and MIDI devices.
Each rave started out with breathing practice
(pranayama), with an appropriately etheric soundtrack.
After that, we practiced yoga postures (asana) with more
upbeat, rhythmic music. We used specific songs, but there
were also long sections of improvisation. Mantras and
bhajans were played to tabla and percussive loops. After
an hour of yoga practice, all-out dancing seemed like the
perfect thing... We played songs like "The Path" and
others. After 10 minutes of all-out dancing, we slipped
effortlessly into gong relaxation. The event closed with
mantra and chanting.
The songs evolved naturally into a CD. I did initial
tracking with a tabla player and brought the ADATs into
the studio as a template. We added to these tracks using
the expertise of MB Gordy (drumkit) and Tal Herzberg
(bass). Kirk Margo (guitar) and George Shelby (saxaphone,
wind-generated synthesizer) tracked separately, each
adding their unique touch. Kirk and I sang background
vocals.
My lyrics came from my experience, my questions about
being on a spiritual path. I didn't think about much
else, so all my lyrics were about finding God, finding
bliss. I was not being edited, and my imagination soared.
I wrote a song about Ammachi. Her public programs
included constant chanting and devotional music. I was
completely amazed watching Her connect to so many souls.
I wrote from Her perspective...(trk 7, Bliss)
I am the one seeking bliss,
I am the one searching for the fragrance.
I am the one who loves to kiss
the one who is willing to open...
I was also intrigued by why people follow spiritual
paths. Was it pain or bliss (or both) that drew people to
spirituality? What awoke people to an inner quest? (trk
8, Transformation)
What began your transformation?
(Would you do it again?)
Did your circumstances push you over the edge?
No more second chances,
you burned your only bridge
No where to go, you're suddenly at the precipice...
Leaping is the only way to go, hit or miss.
Good or bad you jump into the abyss.
We tracked onto 2 ADATs. Seva offered to mix it in
Knoxville and he went about a complicated and laborious
task of transferring the tracks to DA-88, calculating the
synch point on each individual track and synchronizing
all the tracks together. (Normally, one whole track on an
ADAT is devoted to SMPTE code, computer programming that
allows all the tracks of music (and film) to
synchronize). Doing it by hand was nothing short of
heroic.
We mixed to DAT at Southern Studios, using the nightshift
hours. For a solid week, we worked from 9 pm to 9 am, in
order to have uninterrupted hours in which to work.
Transformation was a seed. A vision of offering light to
a mainstream audience. I was not really a record label
yet. I was self-publishing a CD of songs, my first effort
at producing a band. I just put it out there, and the CD
and its songs helped me connect to the world in a
spiritual way. I started touring to yoga centers, meeting
people in every town who were looking for community and
spiritual practice.
Om Shanti
