THE SHAMAN'S HEART is a recording that doesn't submerge you in music per se, it submerges you in a complete environment that reverberates with primordial percussion and shamanic healing sounds. Originally released as an album by percussionist Byron Metcalf, the album is a carefully crafted collage of buffalo drums, clay pot, seed pods that is not so much rhythmic as it is entrancing. Steve Roach's oscillating synth textures add depth and a sense of spaciousness to the recording, while nature sounds are woven into the backdrop to give the music a sense of connection to the indigenous cultures of the southern Americas. Adding to the album's effectiveness is the use of Hemi Sync technology, designed to synchronize your brainwave patterns while listening.
