Description
MESMER is really an album to be listened to at night around a campfire or stargazing; enhancing and complimenting the nightly world while you stare into the fire, the stars simmer above, the trees whisper old secrets, and your shadow joins the procession of spirits into the unknown in search of the great mystery. It has hints of tribal and ethno-ambient music mixed with a strong dose of psychedelia. The intent in creating this album was to convey the altered sense and perception that I experience in the evening hours when I am out in nature. There is a certain sense of balance of intimacy and grandeur in the night…one of the main feelings I wanted to capture in this music.
