This album is the sound of a massive spiritual evolution between 2020 - 2024. I hope the energy of my journey can be of service to humanity. The release of this project coincides with the rollout of my creative studio, The Kizmet Experience. The videos and experiences I designed for Solar Sky all point to The Kizmet Experience. The majority of the project was mixed and sonically curated by MEGA (of The Milky Way and Digital Underground Next Generation) with some key engineering help from Mike Balot, Alex Gloworld and Nate Donmoyer. Other Production Credits include: JAWA, 414Beg, MEGA, Computer Jay, DK The Punisher, Black Sparxx, Bei Ru, Jesse Shatkin, Noho Fidel, Longbeard, Alex Gloworld, and Seth Kauffman / Floating Action.
Additional A&R: Kenyatte Nelson, Greg Baeza, The VJC & Glenn Case
Release date Feb 9 2024.
Written and recorded mostly between 2019 - 2022, and most of that in quarantine. House of the Red Solar Sky was inspired by fatherhood, the pandemic, many psychedelic excursions and ceremonies, nearly one thousand moonlit drives around Los Angeles and her beaches, hiking trails, my work with Stop LAPD Spying, my work as an entertainment marketing professional, my work with artificial intelligence, and my desire to communicate how it feels to begin to truly know oneself. For this project, I freed myself from the need for any external validation. It feels like Nature, in turn, treated me to collaborations with some of my personal heroes and most accomplished friends. The epic culmination of it all is what makes this very much Dragon, Vol. 2. If you haven’t heard Dragon, Vol. 1 (2012) it’s out there on streamers and on my bandcamp. Thanks for your time. Take your time, it’s intense!
