Ancestral Resonance, by Byron Metcalf & Shane Morris

Ancestral Resonance

by Byron Metcalf & Shane Morris

supported by

Ed Grimley The logical and spiritual successor to Mickey Hart's classic "Planet Drum." Powerful, deep, and moving. Energizing, yet paradoxically calming at the same time. Favorite track: A Dynamic Presence.

Christopher Ellis Two giants one colossal result very powerful and amazing grounding sound you will ever have to pleasure of witnessing 🙏

John Wolfe As a forest elder this ole spirit gravitates towards the infinite beat.
This production feels very intuitive in its presentation.There is also a deep understanding of ancient tribal respect for coming together in its presentation.
Familiar with both artist, it becomes a very special journey.

Frank Inzan Owen A stunning, visceral journey of depth and breadth. Stretches the dreamingbody across vistas of space-time. Favorite track: Mystical Meanderings.

Dave Aftandilian The beating of our hearts is an axis mundi connecting us to all living beings, including our ancestors and descendants. Here Metcalf & Morris explore drumming/percussion as time traveling contemplative practice in lovely offerings of ethno-ambience. Although there is peaceful introspection, there’s also a lot of action and energy, leaping and dancing. I am reminded at times of Steve Roach and Jorge Reyes, which shows the high quality of this release.

about

Genres: ethnological ambient, meditation, inner space music

resonance (noun): reverberation of sound; a feeling, thought, or memory that a piece of music or writing invokes in a listener or reader.

In their first-ever collaboration, master ethno-percussionists and veteran ambient composers Byron Metcalf and Shane Morris align their cultivated powers to conjure an evocative soundworld for rhythmic ancient-future “travel.” A time-bending weave of layers of pulsing percussion (bells, drums, gongs, shakers, and ceremonial rattles), flowing flutes, didgeridoo, and shimmering synthesizer vignettes form the multicultural tapestry of soul-stirring sound. ANCESTRAL RESONANCE moves off the beaten path into a mysterious and shadowy sonic world of slow-pulse night sky dreams and hypnotic invocations designed to activate the echo of primal memory at the cellular level.

With a mutual sensitivity to past, present, and future dimensions of the Seen and Unseen Worlds, and a shared resonance as seasoned ‘psychonauts,’ Metcalf and Morris guide us deep into the domain of the ancestors.

We are the dreams of the ancestors.
– Darion Kuma Gracen (1949-2007)

ANCESTRAL RESONANCE is an electrifying collaboration which took hold within the generational span of the composers and converges in a powerful rhythmic echo of something deep — something ancient and abiding within. This echo is a resonance of the messages, lessons, knowledge of sacred alignments, and the presence of memory and inspiration that beckons the soul. With a cultivated and refined sensitivity to the inner mystery, Metcalf and Morris uncover the ancestral realm of mythic awareness and mystical wonderment.

If I wanted to point someone to Steve Roach's music, I'd start them here. This record spans some of Roach's signature styles, like the percolating synths in "Currents of Compassion", the dreamy abstraction of "Prometheus Passage", the tribal rhythms of "The Gone Place", and the elegiac majesty of "What Remains". It's stunning all around and guaranteed to make any day better. fyeahmetal
