“I: Awakening The Ancestors” by Nomad Tree is a profound journey through sound, blending experimental folk, noise, and shamanic practices. The work of Stuart Chalmers, this album is the culmination of an 18-month exploration from burn-out and self-doubt to discovering a new voice. Using feedback techniques, contact mics on frame/bass drums, amplified dulcimers, gongs, and percussion made from natural materials, the album creates a dark, hypnotic soundscape. Recorded in unique locations like Cathedral Cave and Luds Church, the tracks evoke a sense of ancient connection to the land and spiritual practice. It’s a cathartic release aimed at healing and altered states of consciousness. Out now on Cruel Nature Records.
