as the machine's gears grind to a halt
the good people who see
give thanks as the divine shines through...

Stephe Rommel and I began djing together in art installation settings in January of 1993. At that time, I had just returned from the University of Iowa and he was attending M.I.U., fresh out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. His choice to meditate and to learn more about consciousness through Transcendental Meditation was interesting to me because I grew up meditating and rebelling against the dogma of the community, whereas he embraced it and made it his own.

His reality and background were curiously different than mine, and his style of djing and selecting music were unlike anything I had experienced before. His ear for psychedelic beauty in music and sound was unparalleled by other dj's I had known or interacted with prior to that point. read more »

This sunday's show will begin with my newest drum n' bass song "Holy Mesina" which is an interstellar ode to the beatified and nearly cannonized saint, Antonia Mesina. It was written with full flurry on Wednesday February 27th 2008 and hits all the highs and lows with 3 movements during its 7 minute duration. From there the show will dip and dive into various Obvious World compositions spanning the entire map of conscious creation. No two songs will be alike and your attention span will NOT be tested. Instead this is a journey that I've been wanting to take with you for quite some time, a journey of creativity, an expedition of levity and curiosity full of color and emotion. read more »

obvious world - 20080210 - Tribute to Maharishi

mattahearn — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 11:59:01 -0600

On February 5th, my Great Teacher passed on into Mahasamadhi. His presence, his effort, his attention, his love, his devotion and his teachings have forever impacted the face of planet Earth. Personally, I have been enmeshed in Transcendental Meditation [TM] since just about the time I was born.
I attended courses with my Mom and I began meditating with a walking mantra and later moved on into the more advanced techniques. As a high school student @ Maharishi Upper School in Fairfield I spent my time rebelling against the dogma of the TM Movement, and then at the University of Iowa I began to explore consciousness via music, light and art...Raving and electronic music became power tools which needed juice and Transcendental Meditation was the obvious choice for me. read more »

This show is NOT for the faint of heart. It is a truly deep journey into the most abstract and profound realms of electronic music. It is a jaunt into a space and time that reflects the direction music is taking as we fly into the ultra_future. 2012 may very well need a soundtrack, and these artists and their music could be the candidates for that task.
Others who enjoy the sublime abstraction of the concepts of stress-release or impending earth changes could possibly discover the music's ties to physiologically empowering rhythms that exist in indigenous cultures and traditions; modalities which are meant to LIFT YOU UP and BRING YOU THROUGH blocks in creativity and consciousness in order to reveal a higher state of awareness. read more »

- Obvious World - 20080113 - beautiful eternal releases

There are now 12 releases from Beautiful Eternal, even though the netlabel is officially less than two weeks old. Come bear witness to this rapidly expanding catalogue and bask in the warmth of the very first KRUU-inspired netlabel. See for yourself what can be accomplished in the spirit of CREATIVE COMMONS!
The new netlabel Beautiful Eternal is the product of a year's worth of education from Sundar Raman and James Moore about just how cool a tool Creative Commons (CC) actually is...I've been producing ambient and tribal electronic music for 14 years and even began my own "traditional" record label 10 years ago, but now the netlabel model with CC at its foundation is clearly the next stage of evolution. read more »

Terence McKenna: ...Adulthood seems to be a freezing of the reflex to play. And then one is forever caught where one was standing at age 25 when one suddenly became intellectually and and esthetically constipated.
Bruce Eisner: Right. And later a lot of the psychologists like Maslow and Jung said that the purpose of our whole life is to keep growing with self-actualization and self-realization. You know, in the earlier stages of Freudianism there is a place where it all ends according to conventional psychology. But in the new psychology, we constantly grow.
Terence McKenna: That's right. Human life that isn't growing is dying. read more »
