about

Released on Desert Trax deserttrax.bandcamp.com/album/extended-savasana

In search of silence, ambient artist Hipnotic Earth has found a calling in ephemeral improvisational meditations that appear out of the stillness, linger a while, and then vanish from whence they came.
Extended Savasana is an inviting new album from the multi-instrumentalist, who has collected seven sonic journeys meant to guide the listener inward, to a place of deep stillness and even sleep. Desert Trax is thrilled to host this unique album, which almost never came to be. Hipnotic Earth's Harbin Hot Springs home and studio were destroyed by wildfire, but thankfully recordings of those very springs are a unifying feature of this collection. From the opening drones of “Slow Light,” into “Footsteps of the Ancients,” and on through “Perfect Quiet” and “Releasing” the centering beauty and quest for quiet is a truly meaningful experience.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A brief history and links to my older projects on Youtube and Bandcamp;

Deeply in love with music and starting early on with oboe, at 17, I began studying jazz and classical piano and soon joined an award-winning big band. In 1980 I was adding a Yamaha CS-01 monophonic Breath Controller synth plus a Boss digital delay and electric piano and played with reggae and funk bands on the Southside of Chicago and Dallas. I then began morphing into a rock vocalist writing many songs, sometimes on guitar and always tending toward a fusion of improvisation with a pop sensibility. Not so comfortable with the limelight and embracing my love of percussion, I began performing in some world/ambient ensembles ( youtu.be/jzrDfQ3inRw?t=2425 and youtu.be/jzrDfQ3inRw?t=1067 ) . In 2005, inspired by all styles of ecstatic dance music, I set out to learn Ableton Live sequencing and developed a live-looping dub-inspired controller setup ( youtu.be/WJJ68OZ2ngc?t=224 ) elevating the ambient improvs with electronic beats. (serendeepharbin.bandcamp.com/album/sublingual ). My dance beats on Soundcloud and Myspace have been recently removed as to wipe clean from the past; in 2014 I had to stop all music making and exposure to normal daily sounds due to the onset of hyperacusis (an extreme hypersensitivity to most sounds where everything feels 20x louder!!). By grace, as Hipnotic Earth, I was able to start playing and recording again at super-low volumes with soft ambient sounds and colors. Surprisingly, this constrictive set of parameters helped me to actually focus my creativity and I was soon completing and releasing albums after a lifetime of fubbing about! I am very grateful to be playing music at all and am viscerally and deeply aware how these ambient sounds save my sanity and my peace of mind. I hope these sounds help you, too! - Cosmos

Lovely and spacious sounds balanced with a disquieting atmosphere. An excellent suite that uses ambient music not just to calm the listener, but to transport them into an epic, sweeping storm. alec critten

I can't even compare this to the original. One can't even talk about which one would be better, because this is somehow another kind of ambient, with extra melody and extra layers of sound. BVCVLEI
