Adventures in Synaptic Exploration

by Byron Metcalf

supported by

captainsonic Sublime entheogenic symbiosis with orgastic rhythms deconstructing you into the Chikhai bardo. Masterpiece! Favorite track: Burundi Dreams.

Christian Arnsperger Byron Metcalf is one of the most wonderfully consistent artists around -- he has been working a tribal-trance groove for many years now, and he beautifully explores every cave and summit of the musical landscape. Yet every release is new and fresh because Byron is a genius who masterfully combines the ancient and the avant-garde, and because he surrounds himself with amazing musicians who help him push his journey ever onward. We are so blessed to have Byron's visionary talent. Favorite track: Burundi Dreams.

ADVENTURES IN SYNAPTIC EXPLORATION

BYRON METCALF
Featuring Frore (Paul Casper), Dashmesh, Joel Olivé, Sherry Finzer

In this highly anticipated sequel to ‘The Precipice of Choice’, Byron Metcalf gathers a tribe of visionary musicians to create an intensely pulsating homage to our primal origins through the cellular memory of rhythm and sound.

Driving percussion and powerful, mind-bending soundscapes activate and awaken the dynamism of your innate life-force. Breathe, dance and move! Journey deep to explore ancient sources of intelligence, guidance and inspiration, and allow the tribal-trance rhythms to dissolve any blocks or barriers to your receiving the direct transmission from the wisdom of the living earth and your own soul.

"Look up from your device.
The ancient earth is still here."

– Frank LaRue Owen

Music for journeying, breathwork, trance dance and inspired movement, dynamic meditation and entheogenic exploration

This is a very special album. One of my all time favorites. Drums and percussion are actually soothing. Mark Seelig has an exotic eastern sound. Nobody does it like these 2 guys. Well done! Oh yes and Frore (Paul Casper) , his beautiful sounds pull this all together. I love his playing. natarajaswami

The logical and spiritual successor to Mickey Hart's classic "Planet Drum." Powerful, deep, and moving. Energizing, yet paradoxically calming at the same time. Ed Grimley

One day, I was feeling very black-pilled about my life. Listening to this music reversed my depression in a few minutes and inspired me to take action to reverse, or at least ameliorate, the situation(s) that had led to my feeling down - which turned out to be very much the right thing to do.
