Nada Brahma - the world is sound - originisnow.
We work with structured sound designed to invite and explore reflective meditation, human reaction, intentional creation and is influenced and inspired by the current manifestation of our species. An invitation to engage in authentic listening and inspired evolution and to create positive social change to uplift the consciousness of humanity. Our overwhelming need to address things visually can be balanced with the wholeness of sound – we just need to listen without distraction. Sound is everything – Nada Brahma – everything is sound. We learn to listen to our minds, our bodies, and the universe. Sound – The Origin Is Now.
Music has the power to transform our emotions, attitudes, spiritual moods, relationships, perspectives, passions, knowledge. We should support this part of music and elevate it above the goals of entertainment. Social, philosophical, psychological and spiritual changes are the groundwork for our development and growth and cannot be measured in dollars. Changing our consciousness and awakening from past nightmares and traumas to embrace true love is the way to divert our collision course with our limits.

Last Wednesdays is becoming something of a ritual.
Contemplating: FREEDOM -
Creating yourself,
Let others be
Don’t get attached,
At what cost?
Great time on our studio date
This was the second time recording in Nolan Shaheed's studio in Pasadena. What an awesome experience having Nolan produce and engineer 2 takes of 15 songs. Now it's time to sift through the material and cherry pick the best moments. Always grateful - Love is All.
Getting Ready for next Wednesday at the Blue Beet

The Tao of Jazz - redShift & The Authenticity Show - Concert & Podcast
— —
Concert & Podcast - The Tao Of Jazz,
Life as improvised structure ... in music and words. We riff and play off of each other, deepening the meaning of the conversation. Rhythms and tones grow rich with meaning, just like familiar words. One informs the other when we listen. We improvise upon the structure of language, of music and life with suspense, surprise and fulfillment.
Last Wednesday in May - summer's just around the corner. Blue Beet's always solid.
First time at LaCave with redShift - great steaks, seafood and cocktails - and the music starts when the kitchen closes. Cozy and intimate - come to listen or dance.
Coming up on that last Wednesday again. April’s just about done - come hang with some live music.
Peace at Peace, we had to move from our treasured Last Wednesday to Tuesday, 6th of March. Join us getting ready for spring.
Crazy January - time to wind down, seeking inspiration. #livemusic,#creativemusic,#TheBlueBeetCafe
New Year - New Tunes. Starting 2018 out at the coolest spot in Costa Mesa.
