Other Liquid Bloom
Temple Of The Goddess - Demo Sample

Heart of the Shamans is a divinely crafted sonic prayer, a ritual transport into the heart of the universe. The finely tuned arrangements of music producer Amani Friend are skillfully interwoven with threads of global rhythms, natural atmospheres and enchanting vocals, arousing in the listener a desire to merge with the medicine of the soul. Heart of the Shamans intentionally evokes a cyclical, visionary journey through the body’s energy centers, and is a tapestry of sound, inspirited with ancient lineages and ancestral depths; from the ceremonial dances in the deserts and pueblos of New Mexico to the traditions of the Amazon jungles.

Heart of the Shamans features ceremonial medicine songs intended for healing and trance journeying. The outstanding sound artists who contributed to this project are some of the same as in the first Liquid Bloom album, Shaman’s Eye: Robert Mirabal’s Taos flutes and Native chanting; the sacred medicine songs of the vocalist Ixchel Prrisma; the ethereal vocals of Sarah West; the overtone singing of Rara Avis; and the didgeridoo, percussion and nature recordings of Amani Friend, who also provides the overall sound design, production and framework for the compositions and arrangements.
