We're pleased to announce a very special release by Pavaka Group, a new project from William Selman. williamselman.bandcamp.com/album/pavaka-group
'Following modern utopian and human potential movements from the 60s through the 80s, one theme that runs through these groups is the inclusion of music and sound-making in their organized practices. As these groups sought to give their members the tools or environment from which to liberate themselves from the constraints and norms of postwar life, music was a common vehicle for that personal and spiritual liberation. Music—like collective, collaborative farm work or group guided meditation practice—was another channel for personal and group expression of a new ideal of living and being.'
This release features a Limited Edition CD, designed by Gabriel Benzur.
Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studios NY
