A Warning From The Elders
Byron Metcalf
CD, 64 minutes
|
|
$15.00 US for US/Canadian customers |
|
$17.50 US for customers outside the US and Canada (The higher price reflects the additional costs for shipping outside of North America.) |
IInspired and driven by Byron Metcalf's increasing frustration related to our current global and planetary challenges, A Warning From The Elders invites the listener to whole-heartedly embrace the urgency facing the planet, while also birthing the dormant seeds of hope and vision that lie within each of us. In essence, Byron's CD is a healing prayer for a radical global awakening. A Warning From The Elders is the first project where Byron uses overtone singing to create harmonic drones and soundscapes. With this potent emphasis on the raw, organic sounds of wood, skin, metal, clay, stone, and the human voice, Byron's masterful production results in a delicious blend of fierce percussion, heart-opening textural voices and overtone singing — a bold sonic expression of power, purpose, presence and compassion for the Earth — the Mother of us all.

The Shaman's Heart combines the spellbinding shamanic stylings of Byron Metcalf and guest artist Steve Roach with Hemi-Sync® technology. The Shaman's Heart explores varying rhythmic subdivisons of the classic 220 beats per minute journey tempo, using 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.

Seeking the Unknown Within, the voyage begins — Wachuma, Spirit of the four winds, the night-blooming king of night, ushers us on a voyage of soulful remembrance; a remembrance of what we are, and what we may be. Wachuma's Wave is sacred music in the truest sense. It is a portal of travel, a soul retrieval, a ritual of deep time dreaming. Byron Metcalf teams up with Mark Seelig to bring forth a multi-textural blend of bansuri flutes, sacred chants and overtone singing, simmering percussion and other hybrid grooves, augmented by rich offerings of deep drift ambient synthesizer and didgeridoo from soundscape maestro Steve Roach.
