The Alchemy of Rhythm
Time: 55mins
Mixed: January 2018
Alchemy as in transforming lead into gold.
Rhythm as in beats, as in 5Rhythms practice – and as in “wake up, surrender to the sound; let the vibration liberate your golden soul and take us all home.”
Rhythm is a vehicle for transformation. Sometimes we need a change of tempo to make a shift, sometimes we need a steady pulse to hold the intensity – sometimes we need the drums to shatter the hard shell of resistance and make space for the new.
This wave includes some of the musical gold and deep medicine that I came across in 2017 – with a tip of the hat to Brexit, slipped discs, deep community processes, and other alchemical learnings of the moment. Mixed live in the hills during winter-time.
