Chance Meeting

Summer Solstice, National Indigenous Peoples Day

Chance meeting on the longest day of magick and warmth Marking the second half of the year, June 21st is a day of happiness, success and joy ~ solar energies are at their most active and the universe is at the peak of expansion. It's a time that represents strength, courage and hope ~ a time to embrace the light. Our soundtrack is based on rituals around the solstice, seasons, magic, bonfires, dance, and song. The light is filtered through dark folk, electronic, ambient, industrial, and experimental sounds. June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day.

Doesn’t take long to recognize Mike Patton’s voice. Was not aware of this track with Tanya Tagaq. Very cool. Happy Solstice!

Perhaps fitting of the mood of these sounds, this first day of summer is the least sunny and hot of the past week.
