about

In 2021, my friend April Pride from The High Guide approached me with an interesting concept for her podcast: to create long-form audio experiences to accompany people who are on a spiritual and/or psychedelic journey. We talked a lot about how to approach the senses in a different way than making music traditionally, from the sounds employed to the feelings we wanted the audio and music to evoke. This composition emerged as the first in a series of Audio Journeys.

This composition is intended as an accompaniment to a walk in nature and segmented into 3 parts. Each segment utilizes the manipulation of time as a central figure, blending sounds from the natural world with electronics. The final segment of the piece is intended as a springboard to launch the listener back into her or his natural environment with a heightened sense of awareness and joy.

I used field recordings with special effects, my Make Noise Shared System modular synthesizer, Minimoog, John Bowen Solaris, Roland SH-101, and ARP 2600 synthesizers to create the sounds in this composition.

Listen to all the Audio Journeys in the playlist here: www.thehigh.guide/trip-music, and be sure to check out the integration episodes in which each artist including ORQID breaks down the approach and sound experience.
