It was my pleasure, Rich!

And it was exciting - especially the moon clips... We were in forest at sunset and after that... well, living in a city I had once again forgotten that in forest it´s actually completely dark at night, lol.

R, your music is very inspiring.

Richard, this is awesome, I like it very much, resonates with the soul in pure peace! Gratitude and Love to you! (menchu/omega)

Namaste!

Kristiina, thank you for making this video, and Snakesoul6 & dreck34, thank you for your kind comments! And thanks also to Daevid Allen for his sympathetically attuned glissando guitar tracks that captured the intent of the piece while also shifting it into another level.

I like that the primary content of this video is natural forest, water and light imagery. It mirrors well the organic nature of the music.

(PS - all music played by hand, no computers or proramming or click tracks.)

Wow, great stuff!! I LOVE this music, and with the amazing Daevid Allen of Gong!!! The video is cool too, totally works with the trip of the music. Took me to an altered state. Where alot of so-called shamanic music comes up short for me, this gets it!
