Lunar Fire

Denver, CO

https://www.lunarfire.com/


LUNAR FIRE, based in denver colorado, takes audiences to new heights with spectacular dance and musical performances. Pre-Columbian flutes, multilingual vocalists, powerful drummers and a wide range of bass and guitar styles tell stories reflected in dance. Aerialists fly, drop from the sky, crawl into a cocoon and emerge a warrior, a nature spirit, an animal guide. Multiple dancers meld into one multi armed being, circle, battle and burn fire in the form of dreamcatchers, antlers, machetes, staff, torches, ropes, multi poi, fans, fireflies and other surprises. Paintings come to life mysteriously hovering in the air. These mystic images by visionary painters MARTINA HOFFMANN, ROBERT VENOSA, STEVON LUCERO and ADAM FU twist and bend under the movement of dance, a very enchanting and psychedelic visual effect.

LUNAR FIRE COLLECTIVE co-creations involve a multimedia trans-cultural musical spectacle whose aim is to inspire, connect and empower people to create positive change in the world. With a dynamic blend of the arts, Lunar Fire enacts the tales of the ancestors bridging the past and present while foretelling a future in which humankind reaches its fullest potential. In 2012, The Lunar Fire Collective begins production on CORAZON DEL VENADO, a DVD and a live touring spectacle, of which a portion of the proceeds will benefit arts, arts education and sustainability projects by women and indigenous people across the globe.

World class musicians glide smoothly from structured song to improve exploring latin hip-hop, tribal drumming, gypsy rock and epic psychedelic trance jams. Performers glow in handmade indigenous and recycled fabrics from around the world, reconstructed by dancer and designer AKAYATE of Root Structure to embody a visual symbol of solidarity for the uniting of the tribes. Magic and myth-makers ARTSMYTHS create by hand ethereal masks, crowns, as well as elaborate and unique costuming.The theatrical dancers of Lunar Fire build all their own props from fabrics to fire including unique design by MaQi of Syrius Fire. Lunar Fire graphic design by Modo Rodo features inspiring artwork in posters, at shows and on the web. Inspired by personal voyages leading to direct encounters with global music and dance, performances by Lunar Fire pay homage to the ancestors and future generations of urban and ethnic cultures worldwide.

Originating in 2002 as "Fuego Lunar" on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, multiple members of Lunar Fire have toured over a decade together in various projects (INTI, Lil Sum'n Sum'n, Dub'l Dragon, Future Simple Project, Miraja, Kan'Nal, GSP, LYNX) at hundreds of festivals (Burning Man, OCF, Faerieworlds, Symbiosis, Envision Costa Rica, High Sierra, SF Sea of Dreams, Lightening in a Bottle, Tribal Stomp, Tribal Visions, Dreamtime) from eco communities to underground warehouse parties across the U.S. and deep into the jungles of Hawaii, Southeast Asia, Mexico and Central America.

He started in the singer-songwriter genre inspired by his early influences in funk, classic rock, reggae and funk musics. He was introduced to various style hand percussion such as djembe, doumbek and later tabla. He then joined a belly-dance troop called Hands of Fatima and Shunyata and played at private venues and Renaissance Festivals. Hands of Fatima included three hand percussionist and Phoenix, playing guitar, drums, didge and mandolin. They played traditional style Lebanese, Turkish, Iraqi and middle-eastern music. This style of playing opened Phoenix to a entirely new way of expressing music. He played with HOF for three seasons, and then with a few members joined the group Shunyata, a world-renowned belly-dance troop in Texas. He played InternationalFest and TRF(Texas Ren Faire) with Shunyata as well as other shows. After almost four years of learning traditional beats and melodies from around the eastern hemisphere, Phoenix bowed out of the traditional middle-eastern music to begin his own journey as a solo artist in the fusion genres.

12107814_10153346221526492_8733373757676070330_n.jpg

audio production is a form of active meditation for me; a way to center my mind and cultivate creativity. the music that is channeled reflects the state of alert calmness that one receives from practicing presence.

as my experience and knowledge of sound, vibration, energy and life deepens; so my music develops as well. i am constantly learning more about frequencies, vibration, intentional tone, etc. and how they interact and affect our bodies and minds, weaving these ideas in to the audio production.

i am fascinated/obsessed with clean and true sound, nice quality speakers and heavy bass frequencies. i love music that can be played loud enough to feel physically but that does not hurt or cause damage your ears, causing the sound vibrations to caress your body and stroke your mind; and i love the speakers that allow us to do so.

 Tree Skeleton

Sacremento c.a.

"Rising from the source, grounded in nature, and reaching out to the stars. Prayers for living in this world but not being of it."

TreeSkeletonDec2016-B.JPG

Tree Skeleton is healing music of un-suppressed self-exploration and euphoric expressions of both pain and beauty. Her music falls somewhere along the lines of the singer-songwriter, gothic folk, and a mix of experimental music genres with a subtle yet solid pop foundation. She sings with an honest clean voice that conveys a bittersweet purity of spirit mixed with the regal grounding of a solemn earthly sage. Analog and digital synthesizers, acoustic and electronic drums, and other DIY percussive instruments create a musical atmosphere drenched in self-reflection & sincerity. The instrumentation ranges from ethereal synth orchestration, layers of textured ambient sounds, pounding percussion, to barebones acoustic tribal rhythms weaved together by the beauty and depth of simplicity and moments of silence. 

Her music is influenced by groups like This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Bjork, Edward Ka-Spel, Prince, and Black Tape for a Blue Girl to name a few. Her music also showcases her background as a longtime electronic producer. Cristina Fuentes is a member of Subconscious Communications Records and has toured extensively under the name of Wet Mango which has a solid fan-base in the experimental electronic & industrial music underground.  She is also a member of the experimental electronic music collective and label Darkmatter Soundsystem.

luna

Luna Slater has a style that is simultaneously unique and classic.  She borders on folk but occasionally sounds more like rock or blues. She has a wide range of emotions in her various songs. She goes from sexy to comical; to tragic and eerie and then becomes racy and political. Each song is a surprise. Luna has been writing songs for 21 years.

Her lyrics are wise and intense. Her melodies are catchy and her voice is resonant. She is often witty about human nature and many of her songs tell stories. Luna is also very inspired by nature and her songs embody spirituality reflective of nature.

She is in the process of recording her songs in two different studios. She also raises children, does massage, yoga and loves playing out live for Taos and it’s many diverse characters.


Ariana Saraha and flight behavior

FlightBehavior-ArianaSaraha-FernandoMedina-Banner.jpg

Ariana Saraha (voice, frame drums, kalimba…) and Fernando Medina (drums, percussion) have teamed up to form "Flight Behavior," a new duo whose music evokes the night sky, the flowering earth, and the blood river in our veins… Occasionally joined by additional guest musicians, these two follow in the footsteps of bands such as The Creatures and Dead Can Dance in their rich interplay of melodic and rhythmic space.Most often compared to Celtic singer Loreena McKennitt and alt-world artists Dead Can Dance, Saraha draws upon influences from the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Celtic & Eastern Europe, as well as performing a choice selection of traditional music of the same diaspora. But what really invites the listener in, beyond her vocal finesse and Old World influences, is her rare mixture of raw wildness and heartfelt intimacy. Fernando Medina has toured with bands with such warm, fuzzy names as Christian Death and After The Crash, shared the stage with immensely contrasting acts such as Jah Wobble, The Creatures and Eddie Money, played the SXSW Festival, Panama Jazz Fest, and others between and beyond. Medina is not just a drummer, but a co-creator and “rhythm painter” who weaves melodies and landscapes out of percussion. They will be joined by local New Mexico maestro Nick Baker on marimba.
