RIYL - drones, ambient, psychedelia, polyrhythms, and pure psycho-sonic-shamanic-sojourns into and out of the depths of the universe and your mind

Several tracks on Disc One contain vocals/lyrics, as well as layers of guitar, mostly electric, where as Disc Two does not.  Disc Two is much more ambient, and aside from some subtle chanting on track four, is instrumental. 

These recordings are raw and unmastered.
Most of the work for this project was done in 2004 and 2005, but some was also done in 2009.
All material on this double album was written, performed, recorded, and mixed by Christopher D. Miner aka solarone (except where noted).

For this album, Chris/solarone used
a Yamaha Motif,
a Yamaha MO6,
a microkorg,
a hand held camcorder,
acoustic and electric guitars,
various hand drums,
rain sticks,
bells,
chimes,
tire chains,
and other percussion,
an ADAT,
a 24 channel mixing board,
a Loop Station,
plenty of effects,
and his voice.

The Tibetan chanting on "Prayers for a Beloved Sun" is from a field recording (via a camcorder) Chris made in 2003 during a close friend's memorial service.

Starry Wizdom contributed
background vocals (disc one- track 6, and disc two track 4),
played keyboards (disc one- track 1and disc two track 4),
and harp (disc one - track 4, disc two- track 4).
