Sacred Vision

One of the great loves of my life has always been music.

Please keep a look out for the upcoming release of my Hummingbird album.
In the meantime, I was going through some of my old material from the past several years, and came across some music that has been waiting to be shared. Enjoy!

Lost Love

• all music composed, produced, performed,  and recorded by Ed Coleman ( copyright 2004 all rights reserved)
• Ed Coleman – Saxophone, guitars, synthesizers, WX-11 wind  controller, drum programing, vocal sampling
• Josie Janau (aka Sequa) – vocals

Notes: Yes – I play the sax and guitar. I originally recorded a sax only version of this tune called “In between the tears” in Dec 2003.  Later I had the honor of hearing Josie channel “Sequa” during a healing/training  session.  I immediately knew that Sequa was meant to be coupled with the music from “tears” and the remix  called “lost love” was produced several months after that. This was Josie’s first time ever  behind a microphone and ever  in a recording studio – she did a pretty amazing job. Thanks to Josie and Sequa for sharing your gifts..

Equinox

• all music composed, produced, performed, and recorded by Ed Coleman ( copyright 2003 all rights reserved)
• Ed Coleman – WX-11 wind  controller, synthesizer, drum programing

This recording is loosely based on John Coltane’s equinox – listen to the bass line.  All the instruments except the percussion were multitrack recorded using the  WX-11 wind controller and Yamaha  VL-1 and WT-11 synthesizers.

Storm

• all music composed, produced, performed,  and recorded by Ed Coleman ( copyright 2003 all rights reserved)
• Ed Coleman -  synthesizers, WX-11 wind  controller, drum programing

I spent many years trying to produce a synthesized cross between violin and saxophone. The result is illustrated on this number.

In My Dreams

• all music composed, produced, performed, and recorded by Ed Coleman ( copyright 2003 all rights reserved)
• Ed Coleman – WX-11 wind  controller, synthesizer, drum programing

Notes: Clarinet was my first musical instrument.  On this piece however, I used the WX-11 and Yamaha VL-1 synthesizer to emulate the clarinet. Note that the synthesizer is so realistic that even the intonation is off.

Tukaymunaynioq

• all music composed, produced and recorded by Ed Coleman ( copyright 2003 all rights reserved)
• Ed Coleman -  Vocals, rattle

Note: This song is song in the ancient language of the Incas – Quechua. The melody (aka the Mariri) came to me one evening while I was holding healing space during my grandmothers passing. Eventually, the Quechua words latched onto the melody in the form of this Icaro. The Icaros are medicine songs sung by the Shamans and Curanderos of the Peruvian Amazon. I have had the honor of working with several of these Master teachers, and I found the songs to be most compelling.

These words in this Icaro  trace the Shamans epic journey from the beginning of Creation in the “belly of the mother”  to  Moksha (freedom from the cycle  of  birth and death)

Along the way, the Shaman healer develops relationships with many archetypes including.

• the Serpent (aka hatun Amaru – or mother of the waters)
• the Rainbow Jaguar (aka chokochinchay – the seer beyond death)
• the Hummingbird (aka sewaquinte – the one on the epic journey)
• the Eagle or Condor (aka apuchina – the winged ones)
• the celestial (aka hatun chaska – the star beings)
• and eventually tukaymunaynioq – the highest fruition of unconditional love
