about

Soundscapes drifting upon the tides of dimensional soundwaves
The soundscapes of "Soul and Matter" were recorded in the early days of the Covid -19 pandemic These recordings capture the intensity that was growing in the world and the trauma of quarantining and isolation. However, SARAMA<>MIRAZ also manage to capture some of the poignant beauty that lies in the human condition of hope and faith.

The recording sessions began on March 9th to the 22nd of 2020. Two days before the virus infiltrated the valley where SARAMA<>MIRAZ reside, just outside of Los Angeles. A later live streamed session was done on May 27th for the International Drone Day 2020.

"Those first few weeks were apocalyptic". recalls Miraz. "It seemed that our sense of reality was at it's end. Sarama adds "I said to Miraz, since both of us are going to be stuck at home together, let's make the best use of that time by doing some new creative projects. They will serve as a positive, productive distraction" Out of those projects one became "Soul and Matter".

The mysterious cover artwork itself was photographed on the Spring Equinox, March 20th, 2020 by Sarama.
