The members of Trancescapes view free and open improvisation as an authentic connection to the holistic nature of music for meditation. Like great jazz or blues, free improv is best recorded 'live off the floor', and the session that became Trancescapes debut album 'Gaia Sadhana' captured the special journey of discovery taken by seven inspired musicians, performing all organic instruments in a real time meditative musical experience. Trancescapes is: Bill Bourne - guitars, stomp, mammoth elephant drone & vocal / Miguel Ferrer - percussion / Shannon Hambler - whole hoe-handle & mammoth elephant drones / Izumi Kurybayashi - violin & vocal / Bria Lizotte - Tibetan singing bowl & vocal / Dr. Kevin Sisk - C1 and baba louis drones / Lisi Sommer - stag head drone & vocal
