Artist description We are a Post-Quantum expression of the ancient Vedic Kundalini traditions of Bhakti Devotional Yoga of the Heart, and "ANAHATA-NAD", In-The-Moment Spontaneoulsy Self-Arising Sound that awakens the Blue Flame Energy in the Body-Mind-Spirit Continuum. This Energy is Alchemically Transmuted to higher and subtler awakenings of the Organic and Esoteric systems in the Body, and moved up the Spine, (the AXIS MUNDI or WORLD POLE), until it eventually reaches the "Third Eye" - the Pineal Gland - in the center of the forehead, and releases potent chemical substances known to science as Neural Melatonin, and to Sacred Technologies as AMRITA or SOMA. This Photovaultic "Nectar" increases your body's photosensitivety and light absorbtion, ultimately leading to the capacity to be 'LIT FROM WITHIN". The primal yet richly complex Resonant Sonic Field of our Music emulates the acoustics of ancient Vedic Cave Rituals in India, and embraces all of the participants in a Nested-Harmonic Pressure "Hug" that triggers embedded ecstatic vibration at a cellular level, which we call THE COHERANT SQUEEZE. The result is shared, Ecstatic Quantum Field Transformation for the celebrants.

Press Reviews "We have been thoroughly enjoying your new CD, moving and swaying to its' infectious insistence to drop ordinary everyday thinking". Jane Fetisoff, Certified Massage Therapist "AXIS MUNDI is a novel experiential phenomenon which presents us with a unique evolutionary opportunity: to participate in a genuinely intimate, bonded collective state that integrates Self and Other in a field which is simultaneously provocative and safe, free and expressive, personal and shared." Cheryl Haley, Psychotherapist "MUSIC FOR MEDITATION The music of AXIS MUNDI is dynamic and fast, driven by ever-accelerating rhythm, full of vibratory didgeridoo and vocal effects, chanted kirtans, and pulsing that goes beyond the limits of dance. It is not music in the general sense - it's more of a Life Meditation; an Energetic Field of Experience, Self Transformation, and Spontaneous Dance. This is a technique of Catharsis in which, during ecstatic dance, the person throws off layers of unnecessary heaviness, and by doing so frees himself and his consciousness from extra baggage. This leads to the freeing of emotions and clearing of the mind." Andrew Pechkarou, Radio Belarus & New Age Music 'zine, Republic of Belarus. "Today I love rediscovering a part of myself that I was mourning...I really thought the Dancer in me was gone because I have not felt moved by much music lately. But last night, I went to see the band AXIS MUNDI, and I couldn't NOT dance, the energy was so amazing. Hearing & being moved by the singer's mudras, seeing other people in the audience feeling the same way too, I found out that my Body is still confident with ITSELF, even if I'm not. When the set was over, I was in a warm; fluid space, fully aware of my body and my breathing." Paula, attending our performance at The Black Box, Oakland, CA - Dec.4th 2001. "I could tell you all had something BIG brewing up there on stage. When you started it was instantly apparent that this would not be your average jam session. I thought that is was perfect how it all came together - the extended period of Chanting without drumming, then the terrific Drums coming in and the hypnotic Dancer with Finger Cymbols chiming...it was all very intoxicating and mesmerizing. Watching the dancer and hearing those sounds...I wasn't sure what was happening to me, but I knew it was SOMETHING, singular and overwhelming. I have a hip-hop band, and my crowd of urban youth are tired of this commodified and prepackaged reality we exist in, and it's artificial and vacant forms of expression. If I can be responsible for creating in THEM what you caused to occur in ME, then I will be able to fulfill a life-long desire; to make music that has a long lasting and Life Transforming effect on the audience, as yours does." Kyva, Hip Hop Band - Dec. 2001 "Your music and the spirit of your souls is a wonderful energy to dance to!" Tim Blake - Owner, Area 101 Cross Cultural Festival & Community Retreat Center
