From the DVD of Earth Drum by David & Steve Gordon - imagery of the California Giant Sequoias and Coastal Redwoods - Trance beats with Taos Log Drums, Native American Flutes, electric and acoustic guitars, world percussion, atmospheric syntesizers and sounds of nature.
Gentle giants of towering redwoods, reaching towards the sun's light. Standing like sentinels, they whisper of ancient wisdom. "Grandfather tree, teach us how to return to balance and resonance with the earth." Wind of the west, bring us understanding, help us find balance. We are each other.
Studio notes: To create a feeling of deep peace, an ancient 9/8-4/4 Shamanic polyrhythm is used on a combination of tribal drums with a Dmi flute as well as ambient electric guitar and special drones that serve as a soothing space. Two ancient Mayan chants invoke universal intelligence and cosmic balance. Images of redwood forests and mountains of the Pacific Northwest take us into the land of the great trees.
