Milky Way by Alev Lenz, Nina Harries, Aisling Brouwer, Violeta Vicci, Shruti Kumar
"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in concert pitch anymore!"
‘Milky Way’ was born out of the search for healing and friendship, kinship and joy. A friend, Violeta Vicci, sensed my yearning and offered her healing instrument and writing. Together Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus were born. Soon after my friends closest to me, especially during the pandemic, offered their generous spirit and talent. The stars aligned and Mercury was written with Nina Harries, Mars and Venus with Aisling Brouwer and Neptune with Shruti Kumar. Through joyful exchanges, the album title and our little slogan “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in concert pitch anymore!” formed and now ‘Milky Way’ holds all these thoughtful pieces, written on the 7 planetary frequencies outside of concert pitch. Honoring the planets of our solar system, traveling alongside us here on earth. 'Milky Way' is held together with loving gravitational forces completing our solar system like the sun and moon, with Mastering by Katie Tavini and mix by Jas Shaw. Fittingly to be released on the International Day of Human Space Flight on April 12th - also the day Jupiter will form a conjunction with Neptune, they won't join forces again in our lifetime.
