THE TANTRA OF TRUTH I consider to be my ground-breaking album. The seeds for its creation happened in 2012, shortly after my father's passing away when I took a spiritual pilgrimage to India. It was there that I received a powerful vision to devote myself to the sacred path of music. Upon returning home, I met a new friend who is a talented producer and guitarist who was excited to take my sound healing expression to the next level. THE TANTRA OF TRUTH represents a journey of many different genres over its nine tracks. Many of the songs were formed from ecstatic song channelings that became layered with magical production. It begins with a booming rendition of the legendary GAYATRI mantra, veers into mystical folk with ONE'D before SOURCE, my most beloved and most listened to song to this day, which was actually a fully channeled expression with crystal bowls and celestial synths. The title track surrounds a channeling with the Tanpura, a drone instrument from India, before another folk-song with SELF-REALIZED which charts the journey of spiritual awakening. WOMAN IS SACRED was conceived during a potent Vision Quest I experienced under First Nations mentorship in Manitoba and is a dedication to all women and the sacred feminine. SOARING (When Eagles Come) is a robust rock song that begins with a harp channeling. CRYSTAL CHANT is the purest sound healing track on the album, featuring shamanic singing and the crystal bowls. The album ends with the resounding CALLING THE AWEN, a crystal bowls techno anthem.
HONOUR ALL CREATION is a double-album of journey and ceremonial music to awaken humanity, honour Mother Earth as the living Goddess and sonic medicine to inspire mystical consciousness. These 22 songs offer themselves as diverse nodes of activation, from deep sound journeys, spoken word poetics, ambient electronic dance, earthy hip-hop, tantric balladry and more. These songs are intended for deep listening sessions, meditation, prayer, healing sessions and also to be used in ceremonial contexts, such as work with sacred plant medicines and righteous psychedelic use to expand human consciousness and enthuse our alignment with Source.
Darren received the vision for this album years ago during a revelatious ceremony with Mother Ayahausca. HONOUR ALL CREATION was a profound teaching he received; a credo of awakened human consciousness, harkening to fifth dimensional wisdom where all is embraced and universal truth is channelled to the heart.
After both performing at the Envision Festival and Sound & Silence Gathering in Costa Rica, Steffen Ki and Darren befriended each other after years of mutual admiration. They found themselves together in an oceanside retreat when the pandemic struck the world and
decided, alongside Steffen’s beauteous partner and songstress, Maywa, to make Costa Rica their new home. It is there that Darren received guidance from his daily meditations with Mother Earth that it was finally time after years waiting to create the HONOUR ALL CREATION album project and that Steffen was the perfect ally to help him bring it to fruition. In allegiance with the spirits of the sacred land and in deep devotion to Gaia-Earth, Steffen & Darren joyfully co-created this magnus opus.
HONOUR ALL CREATION is deeply a devotional offering to restore a sense of GODDESS to our world. Darren has long been a student of indigenous and ancient wisdom and has been on a decade-long odyssey recovering his own indigenous ancestry as ancient European, specifically in Gnosticism and Druidry. There are many allusions on the album to SOPHIA the wisdom Goddess who is Mother Earth; the Great Mother of ancient mythologies who is also the mother of humanity. May these songs inspire us all to once again hold Goddess in our hearts, regenerating the virtuous sense of the sacred feminine in our understanding of the divine. As the Valentian Gnostics decried ‘the world was born of Sophia’s smile.’ It is time to remember Her. It is time to let Her wisdom reign and honour each other as Gaian, all children of the Earth.
HONOUR ALL CREATION also features an accompanying online course which mirrors the multi-dimensional concepts of the album with 22 wisdom teachings that cover a plethora of deep spiritual knowledge.. HONOUR ALL CREATION: A NEW EARTH STORY can be found HERE.
SONGS OF SOURCE is my most pure sound healing album, featuring the healing sounds of Crystal Singing Bowls & my channeled singing. Each song is a sonic prayer of sacred intention to take the listener into a healing and meditative space for empowerment and transformation. The music inspires spiritual awareness, deep relaxation and is perfect for shamanic journeying, meditation, yoga practice, accompaniment for healing sessions and for prayer-work. Also featured on the album is the ancient Monochord, an instrument made of 32 strings all tuned to the same note to create a heavenly droning sound. It is said the Monochord was created by the ancient Greek sage and music-master, Pythagoras. The Monochord is featured on the song-prayer 'The Greatest Victory Is Surrender' which is an ode to opening oneself to the creative flow of life. Each song carries these sacred frequencies being channeled from mystical realms. This is deeply transformative and healing music. Open your heart and soul to be blessed by these divine currents of sound and music and let these songs connect you to our universal source...
MYSTICAL MEDITATIONS is an album I always longed to make as I have such a passion for guiding people into wonderful inward journeys, harnessing the divine powers of the imagination to create transformative experiences in our inner-world. For years, I've guided thousands of people into such deep meditative and visionary states in my sacred music concerts, sound healing performances and workshops. Now, some of that magic is captured in the studio for you to experience anywhere and anytime. Most of the meditations are accompanied by the healing tones of Crystal Singing Bowls which have been scientifically proven to put us into Alpha brainwave states which is where meditative states begin. From there, we can begin to deepen into the Theta state where we experience visions, fulfilling our true destiny as oracles. Having the Crystal Bowls as accompaniment amplifies the meditations immensely.
The album as a whole offers a diversity of mystical and transformative experiences. Some of the meditations are tender inward journeys while 'Shaking Medicine Meditation' offers an experience of shaking the body ecstatically and wildly to shift our frequency state powerfully, vitalizing us intensely, accompanied by powerful drumming. 'Chakra Toning Meditation' works with a system of vowel sounds that you are invited to tone together with me as we vitalize and balance the Chakras with the healing power of our voice, with the Crystal Bowls guiding us into their ascending scale of vibration. And the final track offers a Song Journey to take us into an experience of Universal Love. Much thanks to my soul brother, Marco Furgiuele, who captured the majority of these tracks at his studio 528 Recordings. May this album guide you into wonderful states of consciousness that will help you heal, find inspiration and experience the mystical.
WOMAN is my album of devotional spoken word poetry for the sacred feminine. Each poem features accompanying live ambient and whimsical music played by myself. This album was a true honour and joy to craft. It features five portrait poems of beloved women in my life who have served as profound inspirations, teachers, lovers, sisters and wondrous embodiments of all that is wondrous of woman and her sacred feminine qualities.
These are long, meandering tales, rich with poetics, meant to be listened to deeply, to let the soaring and mystical words work on you like a medicinal balm.
Perfect for meditation, sharing in women's circles, during savasana in yoga, even to conclude a breathwork, or simply for one's own contemplation.
It's an honour to honour these particular women and all women in this way. May this album provide healing and grace. May it also inspires such devotion and honouring in men for women and the sacred feminine that is also shining within their own beautiful souls. To a world of honouring each other. May it blessedly be ♥
