Taragápe is the new music project by Jeremy Colbert. Spirit Maze is the debut album to be released on 02-22-20.
The album Spirit Maze is a musical journey that interweaves through tonalities, emotions, spiritual musings, and deep reflections both personal and collective. It features the tranquil and inspiring handpan (inverted steel drum) in this case called a Terrapan (or, lovingly: Spaceship Turtleshell ;) as well as guitar and lyrical compositions that are heart-centered and inspired by potent inner/outer journeys and experience. (See cover video above for a preview of the song Tendrils resonating throughout the one and only Dragon's Den!)
Spirit Maze is musical medicine. Even its symbol, reimagined as album art by the incredible Visionary Artwork of Krystleyez, signifies this. The entire album is recorded in 432Hz as tribute to its mathematically divisible perfection and as exploration of the notion that 432Hz aligns with the natural frequencies of our planet.
Spirit Maze was recorded in Boulder, Colorado, produced by Dango Rose of Elephant Revival and Evan Reeves of the Elephant Collective. To learn more about the intentions and the creation of the album and the symbol, please visit the campaign page: https://igg.me/at/spiritmaze
The Dragon's Den is a brand new community space in Homestead (Pittsburgh) located in a beautiful historic site, the restored St. Mary Magdalene Italian Renaissance Church. Founders, the lovely Bill and Giulia Petrucci, have turned this gorgeous (and acoustically wonderful) space into a ropes course/zip line for youth! The Dragon's Den is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit providing transformative learning environments through the use of a suspended obstacle course and other innovative programs designed to teach youth of diverse backgrounds and abilities to overcome challenges in themselves, their communities and the world.
