For 20 years they\u2019ve\u00a0walked the path of empowerment as kindred\u00a0spirits, creating sonic collaborations that\u00a0merge modern methods\u00a0with ancient traditions. These visionary artists blend shamanic, tribal and meditative drumming with classical Indian ragas, captivating melodies, and the hypnotizing presence of Frore (Paul Casper)\u2019s analog and digital synthesizers. Together they realize music that is\u00a0mystical, contemplative and dynamic, leading\u00a0the listener towards doors that only deep imagination can open.<br \/>\n<BR>\u201cOur concept for this album was to revisit many of the rhythmic and melodic\u00a0terrains\u00a0that our music has explored over these many years. The power of Kali and tender curiosity of Raga exquisitely supported us throughout the making of this album.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Byron Metcalf<br \/>\n<BR>A dynamic flow of six mesmerizing tracks continues for an hour, invoking\u00a0spirit\u00a0with a serious invitation to those involved in inner exploration, visionary rituals, ceremonies and spiritual practices. Each sonic element falls into place: Byron\u2019s drums\u00a0and percussion are heart-centered and gentle on some tracks and intensely powerful on others. Mark\u2019s evocative bamboo flutes create a sense of safety and wonder while his overtone singing adds a mysterious depth to the multi-layered\u00a0sonic sacrament. Similar to the drumming on\u00a0<B>Kali Raga<\/B>, Frore\u2019s synthesizers produce a fascinating blend of timeless atmospheres and energized electronic intensity.<br \/>\n<BR><B>Kali Raga<\/B>\u00a0\u2013 a musical odyssey where the organic meets the electronic, and the ancient blends with the contemporary. This\u00a0music\u00a0transcends genres and time, inviting listeners into the magic and mystery\u00a0of introspection and connection with the universal language of music.\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\n<BR><BR>Artists Bio:<br \/>\n<BR><U>Byron Metcalf<\/U> is an award-winning musician and recording artist, shamanic practitioner and ceremonial leader.
