Moving within a Journey of Sound

Disorient Music · SAFI - Opening Set - Disorient Bedouin Tech - Dubai 2018

For me, movement is a path back to God, to love, to an experience of belonging. 
One way I connect back into myself when I'm feeling stuck or in a funk
is by moving mindfully to music. 
This is a set I move to often when I desire to unlock and tap back in. 
I love the ebbs and flows of it, 
and how I can sense my feet on the ground, 
my roots growing deep into 

the Earth while my head lifts into the buoyancy of the fluted air. 
Moving from my most centered point, 
my body transforms from ice to water, and water to 
gas. 

For added inspiration: 

"The spirit
likes to dress up like this:
ten fingers,
ten toes,

shoulders, and all the rest
at night
in the black branches,
in the morning

in the blue branches
of the world.
It could float, of course,
but would rather

plumb rough matter.
Airy and shapeless thing,
it needs
the metaphor of the body,

lime and appetite,
the oceanic fluids;
it needs the body’s world,
instinct

and imagination
and the dark hug of time,
sweetness
and tangibility,

to be understood,
to be more than pure light
that burns
where no one is –

so it enters us –
in the morning
shines from brute comfort
like a stitch of lightning;

and at night
lights up the deep and wondrous
drownings of the body
like a star.”
