SPIRAL EXCHANGE by Byron Metcalf
Spiral Exchange is a rhythmic and harmonic synergy between cultures, traditions, and the timeless spiral of life itself — where tribal rhythms meet contemporary sounds, and diverse musical lineages intertwine in a living, organic dialogue.
Spiral Exchange features Byron Metcalf’s signature tribal-trance drumming and production style with guest artists from multiple countries, each contributing their unique voice to this sonic ceremonial gathering. Byron and his musical friends weave a global soundscape that transcends borders and boundaries – transporting the listener into an active meditation where power, movement and stillness coexist — a shared heartbeat echoing the universal rhythm and spirit that connects us all.
This music is ideal for extended meditation practices, inspired movement and trance dance, breath work, entheogenic exploration and any practice intended to reveal the deeper truths of one’s experience and life circumstances.
