12 Days Alone retreat & recording my album
Photo's by João Curiti
After 7 Months composing, mostly in nature like California and North Portuguese Mountains, I went alone in retreat mode to my caravan to record this work. I've spent 12 days there doing Reiki and Meditation as Shamanic Ceremonies also to get the proper energy for this album. During these 12 days I get involved with earth bio cycles, I've worked on the farm and of course, I did recorded the instruments for this album. This place, isolated in the mountains is very close to my home town Porto and it will be a healing and meditation retreat center that I am developing. So my point was that first of all I need to go there alone to initiate this place, healing myself first. It's amazing the power of nature and the healing process that occurs naturally when we are close to nature, just by that. The trees were my masters as the animals around! During my stage there I had 3 visits from friends who experienced the energy of the place and also practicing the same therapies. They were after myself the first students of "Monte Krshna", and they can comprove the magic power of nature, silence and meditation. This is the story of this album, is all about mindfulness, silence and nature. Right now I am at my home studio again to finish my work and in a couple of weeks it will be ready and available. Very soon I will share my full video diary from this 12 days retreat and recordings. What I really want is to be honest with my music, one of most important things in my life so, I refuse myself to have any kind of commercial sponsors or sell my music to labels that only thinks about marketing and money. What I am trying here is to do it all by myself with some friends help that believes on my music, that's it.
Thank you so much for following me,
Keep in touch
