about
Recorded live at Oshan Anand's Tea Temple in the Deep Space hall at the 2023 MAPS Psychedelic Science Conference at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado (and too far from my partner and our children).
These were easily some of the most challenging sets I've played due to uncontrollable environmental variables, but the same volcanic contact high of 13,000 gathered psychonauts — not to mention the amazing space, between the Abraxas art car and the Tribe13 Gallery — made for a rich vein from which to draw my inspiration.
Big thanks to Mathias Pailas and Eostar Kamala for helping organize such a fantastic lineup and for holding space for all of us on stage — and thanks to Raven Mitch Mignano for stepping up at the last minute to run sound all week (not to mention jamming with me on an ABSOLUTELY EPIC live remix of my song about the bardo and 5-MeO-induced near-death experiences).

PS — For those who don’t know, I was the first musician to ever play at one of these conferences back in 2010 and donated sets again in 2011, 2013, and 2017 — not to mention at myriad MAPS-affiliated fundraising in Austin and at their Burning Man camp and for related documentaries and the Phase II & III MDMA clinical trials and in various therapeutic settings over the years…but it had been a LONG time and meant a lot to be back in the mix with everyone. The roots for this release go DEEP and the branches all reach VERY high. I hope to see you in the chat on August 25th!
PPS — Proceeds go to covering the enormous costs of making this happen. I have already donated thousands of dollars of artwork and labor to MAPS this year alone and while unemployed, so please do help me feed my kids and continue to offer my love's labor to this work and its prosocial goals. If you'd like to use ANY of my music for any therapeutic context please feel free!
