REFLECTIVE – LORIN’S LINER NOTES

I chose “Reflective” as the title of my musical project this year because I love thinking about how every human is a sum of all the inspiration they get from the world around them – all the reflections from our surroundings. We all reflect our favorite things in life at each other, and other people reflect their favorite things back at us… over time the highlights rise to the top, yet continue to mutate in finer and finer recombinations of new thoughts, new ideas, new inspirations. I think we can all be mirrors to each other, but it goes deeper than that. And I wanted to reflect on all of the nuances of this concept in my music. I decided to split the album up into two parts, starting off with 6 new songs:  “Arps Of Revolucion” is a follow up to “Reaching Out” – it’s another tribute to the glistening downtempo of the 1990’s, when I was first discovering electronic music…and it kind of foreshadows the upcoming Naux Faux EP [out later this year]. “I’m Up” is a ballistic stomper with an enormous groove, big thunder samples, and soaring synths… the vocals (by Born I Music) are about being

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: DARRAH ANANDA

Darrah Ananda Artist Sebastopol, CA Darrah Ananda channels dream totems and symbols of the psyche into tangible signposts. Dubbed “Found Fables”, these handmade collage vignettes inspire the imagination and ignite the heart. We go way way way back with Darrah, collaborating with her at the turn of the century when she let us sample many of her works for some early Bassnectar mixtapes and releases. In her words: “Art is medicine. I believe in the power of radical creativity to heal and transform, and in the holy power of beauty to inspire us to find our own song and to use our voice in singing that song as if our life depended upon it – for indeed, it does.” “Through these woven fables, I offer myself to you. May you find your way through the enchanted wood to the still pond of Mystery and then bending down, drink of the sweet waters of remembering and become as a child again … drink and, perhaps, if even for a fleeting moment, catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror pool – innocent, wise, and free.”
