My Synchestra experience..
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 12:59 amJust got my copy of Synchestra and I must say it is a truly amazing album. It was very worth the wait.
But when I thought about it for a while.. I wanted to make the first listen of this album to be a really amazing experience. So instead of just popping the CD in my computer and playing it in my room, I popped it into my CD player and hopped on my bike. I rode out to a foresty kind of area somwhere near the Stanford University campus area. I rode around looking for an interesting spot to sit down and just chill and relax to this album. I eventually came across the perfect spot. It was a small grassy clearing with a tree right in the middle (which kind of reminded me of a smaller looking version of the tree on the Synch cover). So I sat down in the grass and pulled out my CD player, put on my ear phones.. and before I pushed play I looked around me for a moment. I wanted to take in the energy and the feeling of the environment around me.. I knew it was the perfect place to hear this album.
Right from the start of that album i was just put into an unexplainable trance that made me feel like i was in my own little world. The sights of the things around me and the music, and the smells.. all just clashed together while i listened to DTB's brilliant work. I can't explain exactly how i felt.. or what it was entirely like. but now whenever I hear this album I think of that place where I was.
I got some pictures of it too. Maybe you could try and imagine sitting in this spot listening to the album
This is what I saw the first time I heard Synchestra..
It may seem like just an area of trees and grass and whatnot. But it was something more to me thanks to this album
Thank you Devin and the rest of the band for this amazing piece of art
