Summer Solstice 2025 Music: Firmament

In January my singer friend Dina Baker and I went into the studio with no greater intention than to settle into a deep inward state and express whatever was presenting on the unseen side of the veil. Two days later we emerged with enough music for an album.   While working on the tracks, I heard in my mind, “Firmament”. Not knowing exactly what that meant, I looked it up in the dictionary and found it is… “the arch or curve in the sky which separates the heavens from the earth.” Sometimes it is considered the heavens which contain all celestial bodies. Other times it is considered a space which separates the heavens from the earth; the sky.   At any rate, both of us agreed that the music had a decidedly mystical flavor.   A friend who listened to the recording said it reminded her of The Void, and queried whether we intended to create Music of the Void and bring in the Cosmos?    Dina explained that when she first started creating her melodies she kept hearing instructions to "go into the void, enter the cave, and ignite the heart."   I've always felt it is the artist/musician's mission to bring Mysteries from the Unknown side of Creation, which can include the Void, into the 3D realm.   We are happy to be sharing this at such a pivotal time in our evolution, when Chaos (arbiter of change) might benefit from a stabilizing force pointing towards a higher degree of order and grace.   We hope you enjoy this SUMMER SOLSTICE gifting, Firmament - Ignite The Heart!
