By 1 Comment

 The Unified Field

 

The 9th annual Sonic Bloom music festival took place over the weekend of July 19-22nd in the airy high desert of South Park, Colorado. The site, fully encompassed by the Rocky Mountains, created a beautiful backdrop of breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that lit up the numerous stages.

As usual, Bloom offered a plethora of experiences for every attendee. Music was continuously playing at various stages with the highest quality of sound. Workshops covering hooping, massage, dance, yoga, and many others were available and well attended. Outstanding visuals met the eye everywhere you looked, ready to be soaked in and admired, whether it be a performance, installation, or projection.

ARISE FESTIVAL 2013

“The music is like the fire …. and we all gather around it to warm our souls”

~ Paul Bassis, Producer of ARISE ~

full_60434

A new festival has emerged onto the Colorado scene this summer. Backdropped by the serene beauty of the Rocky Mountains, Arise Festival has set its sights on being the very essence of a festival –  co-creation, music, art, yoga, and community. Sunrise Ranch, an hour north of Denver, will provide the magical space for festival goers to explore and re-connect with nature and one another. The atmosphere is looking to come together seamlessly, complete with Hemp Village, Kids Village, Organic Food and Beverage Village, and hey, my fellow beer lovers, a Craft Beer and Wine Village!

The festival will also feature a selection of independent films including – Bidder 70, Chasing Water, Arise, and The Bloom. If that doesn’t expand your mind enough – check out the healing space, Temple of the Heart, on site. It will encompass activities like yoga, kirtan, meditation, and a healers tent to completely rejuvinate you- mind, body, and soul.

WHAT TO BRING: face paint, headlamp, re-fillable water bottle, warm clothes for the CO nights

We Like Monsters

By Leave a Comment

We Like Monsters:  Denver, Colorado.

I was lucky to have the opportunity to see We Like Monsters live at Moe’s BBQ in Denver during the Underground Music Showcase, a festival.  These fellas are an indie band with a real unique sound & feel.  The lead singer, Tim, is a standout band orchestrator with a a drum stick sticking out of his back pocket as he sings. Previously, Tim was in a band called GreenField where he sang, said Adam, the former bassist in greenfield.  When he is not singing, he either plays the keyboard or triggers samples and sounds with his midi pad, as the rest of the band takes center stage. The other band members pick up the slack with their superb musicality and feel.  The bassist, has a rocker’s stance, and beanie to match it. The lead keyboardist has a double stack, or two keyboards on top of each other, each with their own customized synth sounds to enable versatile timbres for melodies.  If you like the music, don’t miss an opportunity to see We Like Monsters in a personable venue (before they become well known)!  Have a listen and be sure to listen to the music video: “Le Tigre” (see below)

The True Set

By Leave a Comment

The True Set from Los Angeles


Freio Music is excited to present ‘The True Set’, inspired by Cold War Kids, Led Zeppelin, and Rumspringa. Their first instruments were played as kids in the kitchen, pots and pans! Creative from the beginning of their career, they use, adapt and thrive with the instruments available.  This crew is ingenuitive and surprisingly good.  Have a listen!  In three words they describe their sound as, “Pure Genuine Rock” – Will age 24.  This young band has the potential to grow and change their sound as they get their hands on new instruments and tools. Fly High, a must listen to song if you like overdrive vocals and indie rock.

Wanderlust Wednesday Presents – Corvos

By Leave a Comment

Corvos: from Lisbon, Portugal

Taking classical string instruments and beautifully transforming them in the name of rock music, Corvos is molding a unique yet familiar sound. It is a sound that embodies the boldness of an orquestra and the energy and passion of rock and roll. The band’s influences include genre defining musicians such as The Doors, Nirvana, and the Kronos Quartet. Two cover albums and three original, the dedication and incredible musicianship is apparent with their complex arrangements. Members include Luis Santos on the viola, Cláudio Nunes on cello, Pedro Teixeira da Silva on the 1st violin, Tiago Flores on 2nd violin, and Pedro Silva on the drums. Their sound is moving and unmatched, deep and soulful. I highly recommend listening to  “Do you really love me”. It is hauntingly romantic and tells a mesmerizing story that impossible not to close your eyes and follow.

Manolis Moumouzias

Manolis Moumouzias: from Greece


This artist takes the one man band approach, creating layers and harmonies with himself in his home studio.
His talent is clear though collaboration often elvates a sound where one man falls short.  That said, this music by Manolis Moumouzias is impressive and has the potential to captivate an audience.  With dedication to the creative process, Manolis creates his unique interpretation of sound with the motto “just because  a part was recorded, doesn’t mean it needs to be in the mix”.. His cover, Stuck like glue, is his most popular video on youtube.

Mellow Mood Monday… With some spacy, reverse to close the desert of silence.

Blessed with an beautiful weekend in Eugene with blue skies and 80 degree weather, it is only fitting to share with the Freio community the Shangri La of Oregon and the most incredible festival location my barefoot self has experienced.

I present to you… HORNING’S HIDEOUT

Just outside of Portland, Oregon, this venue has it all. It is truly a land of enchantment. Camping in the Oregon hills, sun bathing by the pond, jamming out with the beautiful Doug Firs, nothing is better. If you haven’t experienced the magic behind this special place, make your way this summer! Not only does Horning’s have great festivals, but day use includes fishing, paddle boating, and exploring the mysterious and romantic backwoods. If you’re looking for a TRIP this summer, you know where I’ll be. See you on the other side!!
