Re-Membering through Celebration and Ceremony
Join me with world-renowned musicians, tribal wisdom keepers, ceremonial healers and global evolutionary leaders in remembering a compassionate, earth-honoring humanity at Keepers of the Flame: Healing Rhythms & Visionary Voices for Transforming our World Aug 2-5 at Shambhala Mountain Center in Colorado.
“Inlakesh” (Rob Thomas & Tanya Gerard) will be joining me for a 2-hour ceremonial presentation/performance utilizing The Shaman’s Heart theme.
In many ways, we live in a world of forgetting, where the materialist paradigm and the belief systems of the industrialized world have severely eroded our sense of connection to the planet, to each other and to all living things. In our forgetfulness, we often create a world of harm.
2012 is the year of Re-membering. As the often quoted Hopi expression says, "We are the ones we've been waiting for".
Key elements in this Re-membering is ceremony and ritual mastery, as embraced by traditional societies and Shamanism. They nurture a soul-infused relationship with the earth and unseen realms that awakens us to a world of greater beauty and energy - one in which we make more holistic and discerning choices. In acting on behalf of something greater than ourselves, we begin to feel it act through us.
GO HERE.

THE SHAMAN'S HEART II - The Healing Journey - Byron Metcalf (Featuring Steve Roach) NOW SHIPPING!
The Shaman's Heart II – The Healing Journey is an entrancing 70-minute shamanic journey of uninterrupted, evolving tribal-trance drumming and percussion that continuously builds in rhythmic complexity and dynamic intensity. Byron is joined by Steve Roach who provides the harmonic and textural psychotropic stew created from a rich, organic and analog blend. The alchemy with the percussion results in an ecstasy that helps hold the space for the listener to journey far and deep into powerful and sustained shamanic states of consciousness. The journey culminates in a bursting forth through the full spectrum portal of pure existence – returning safely home to the heart-centered presence and potential of the true self.
The continuous heartbeat rhythm, medicine rattles, heart and soul activating trance drumming, combines with Steve’s sonic mastery and deep didgeridoo to firmly anchor the entire journey to the listener’s own sonically-driven trajectory. Repeated use of this music in a personal ritual or ceremonial context will enhance the heart’s capacities for love, compassion, courage, power, and strength. With focused and clear intention, this sonic call to adventure draws on the traditional shamanic model that is proven over the eons to open the primal mind to access all levels of human experience including the upper, middle, and lower worlds of the shamanic landscape and various transpersonal realms of reality.
The Shaman's Heart II is a powerful and potent shamanic journey that invites the listener to make full contact with their heart – their own inner wisdom and various non-physical helpers, guides and allies, to reveal, release, heal and transform the habitual patterns and blocks that inhibit and stifle their growth and creative energies.
New CD! Live at SoundQuest Fest 2010! Steve Roach–Featuring Byron Metcalf, Dashmesh Khalsa & Brian Parnham
Steve's pinnacle performance from 2010's SoundQuest Fest proved to be a real moment in time, and fortunately it was documented with a high resolution recording that places the listener front and center on that special night. Presented as a single CD, the first 74 minutes of the concert are experienced as it unfolded. Three distinct realms are seamlessly mapped out in this inspired set. The opening starts with a 25-minute piece of perpetual forward motion in the mode of DESTINATION BEYOND created specially for the concert, carved from pure analog synths and sequencers. From here we experience an amazing interplay between didgeridoo players Dashmesh Khalsa, Brian Parnham, percussionist Byron Metcalf and Steve performing real-time looping, processing and mixing along with soundworlds, ocarina and voice. This passage is an all-out expression of shamanic ecstasy that boils over into the engulfing tribal trance state of "Thunder Walk" from the recent release DREAM TRACKER. The last portion of the set settles into an ultra drifting electro-organic zone. This evocative space, which premiered at the Fest, would soon evolve into the opening of IMMERSION FIVE¬–CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS.
HAPPY 2011!
Wishing everyone a peaceful and loving 2011 - filled with passion and joy! I'm feeling immense gratitude for your support and looking forward to more great sounds this year.
