Golden Turtle Sound

Home studio vibes.

For those of you out there who are actively living your dream,
and going through the struggles (sometimes) of “figuring out how to make it all work” and make all the ends meet… I feel ya.

With 3 kids and a ton of bills my partner and I live nothing like a “normal” life. And sometimes it’s tough for sure. Not only is our pay not regular, but our entrepreneurial adventures happen to be in industries that are perhaps not the most lucrative.

But we love what we do, and we love each other.

It’s a continuous trust fall.

Often we are doing great. And I am learning to bring more regular work that doesn’t have me traveling for weeks at a time (my main gig is live audio engineering and sound system rental) to help keep some sense of stability as we unschool our children in to passionate and inspired individuals.

We’ve had to let go of a lot in order to strive for a well rounded and creative way of living…

No regrets! I love it all. Deeply.

I’m just saying. It’s tough, but it’s worth it every step of the way.

Always follow your heart and the journey path will lay itself in front of you more beautiful and intricate than you can imagine.

Fail forward, often, take risks, strive for more.

The whole of life in all its aspects is one single music; and the real spiritual attainment is to tune oneself to the harmony of this perfect music. - Hazarat Inayat Khan

The study of how we perceive sound - psychoacoustics - is super fascinating.

It delves into the psychological and physiological responses to auditory stimuli, exploring how different frequencies, tones, and rhythms affect our emotions and cognitive state.

Ancient civilizations used to acoustically design their spaces to enhance spiritual and communal experiences during their rituals.

-and-music

"Every soul has its own music to play, and when the soul meets with its music, a new dawn breaks in the horizon of its life." – Hazrat Inayat Khan
Inayat Khan's words eloquently express the idea that each individual has a unique musical expression that, when discovered, can herald a new beginning or a personal awakening, much like the break of dawn signifies a fresh start. 🌄🎶

"Breath is not only the rhythm of life, it is also the rhythm of music." – Hazrat Inayat Khan, 'The Mysticism of Sound and Music'
This quote highlights the intimate connection between breath and music, emphasizing how our very life rhythm is mirrored in the rhythms we create in music. As music producers, we can draw inspiration from this idea to infuse our compositions with natural, breathing rhythms, creating music that echoes the ebb and flow of life itself. 🎵💨🌟

An Ode to Coffee!

I love coffee!

Especially when it comes to studio time. 🎶🔊

Do you drink coffee!?

It may just be a secret weapon.

Need a nice tasty boost to keep you energized and focused!?

☕️🎵 From enhancing focus to boosting creativity, the perks of coffee drinking are music to our ears:

1. Increased alertness & focus intricate tasks and projects.
2. Cognitive boost = better memory & problem-solving skills.
3. Energy to power through those extended project hours.
4. Improved Performance and Creativity to stay in the flow.
5. Stress relief to keep the creativity flowing.
6. Social Interaction when working with clients or others in the studio.

Just remember, moderation is key to rock those tunes without the jitters! 🎸✨

Do you love coffee, too!?

Embracing the Future: My current portable studio captures the essence of 2023's audio evolution. From live bands and orchestrations to 'in the box' indie-pop and hip-hop, the journey's been surreal. As a mixing engineer on the move, I'm awestruck by the power in my hands. Here's to 2024 – more adventures, more music, and more magic to craft. 🎶✨

Ever find yourself asking “what’s the next best step?”

Life has a tendency to put us in all sorts of situations, and not all of it aligns with what we “think” we should be doing at the moment to move forward, or to teach our , or to… 💭

I, personally, find myself at the whims of life a lot, apparently. 😅 But I’m working on that. Honing in on intention, and building up practices that are beneficial for my self, my family and my business.

Lately I’ve been askin, “what can i do right now? That is a least aligned with my goals… what are my goals? What’s the ?”

I’m of how it happens, but holding the vision. And part of it is engaging more through these platforms, to meet new people, artists, collaborators.

I find myself not in the studio right now, so am sharing something random… but at least I’m sharing something!

Gettin’ ready for a solar powered Crestone Energy Fair!

Settin’ up in the beautiful outdoors of at the wonderful for Beltane today 🤗

Chop wood, heat studio.

Origins: A long, long time ago when the people referred to this land as Turtle Island, there was alignment of Mother Earth and Father Sky. Elaborated rhythms of the earth turned in to harmonious expressions of the surrounding nature.
Through this cultivation a pure and true tone begins to emerge, the resonance of which can guide one in to the deepest experience of their own Heart.
People began to use this understanding of music, in nature and the surrounding cosmos, to help guide their decisions in the present moment.
This is the experience and practice of
Golden Turtle Sound.
