It is my most personal work, at the same time being from somewhere "out there". ]]> http://axelmundi.com/news.html#34 Sun, 09 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700 Psychedelic Music For A New Era - Axel Mundi - Journal http://axelmundi.com/news.html#33 I have published a book on the art of my departed partner, Peggy Nomura. It is called Spirit House On Pilgrimage, and it is for sale at Amazon.com.
Please check it out.]]> http://axelmundi.com/news.html#33 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700 Psychedelic Music For A New Era - Axel Mundi - Journal http://axelmundi.com/news.html#32 On an album, that is. The new CD Childhood's End is out now. Nine new songs, two featuring poems written about 25 years ago, when I was being a poet in Salt Lake City. This album continues my trend toward stripped down (for me!) psych-rock. Tips of the hat to Ozzy, Fripp, and a few of the others. Get it now, before you become too grown up. Or get it because you are grown up.]]> http://axelmundi.com/news.html#32 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0800 Psychedelic Music For A New Era - Axel Mundi - Journal http://axelmundi.com/news.html#31 I'm pleased to present a new video with light artist Julius Brown (see Links page). We've combined one of my songs with one of his streaming visual montages. This is the first new collaboration since we did live shows in Seattle in the 90's. See Videos page.]]> http://axelmundi.com/news.html#31 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0800 Psychedelic Music For A New Era - Axel Mundi - Journal http://axelmundi.com/news.html#30 Another new album! Well, that is what we are about here at AMM (Pierre and I and our creative team). This one is kind of like a back story to one of my favorite novelettes by one of my favorite writers. It is called One night in the life of Gregor S. All the tracks are short (3-5 minutes) and each one portrays a dream. Another cover: Dylan's St Augustine. And a website-only bonus: a booklet containing a short story version of the album. This is a great one.]]> http://axelmundi.com/news.html#30 Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800 Psychedelic Music For A New Era - Axel Mundi - Journal http://axelmundi.com/news.html#29 The new album is kind of a road movie. It seems every song has a road, street, or trail in it. I am doing more singing lately, and more lyric writing for something to sing. There is another cover song, too--"White Bird", the old It's A Beautiful Day number--but done much differently than the original. I hope David Laflamme approves.

By the way, please visit my page on Jamendo.com, and write a review if you feel inspired.

This album starts out with a very different piece, "Bidi-bidi", which was born while driving onto the ferry and hearing hip-hop coming from the car next to me. The title cut is over 25 minutes, and I am calling it a symphony. There is a cover of one of my favorite's from the psychedelic 60s, "Time Has Come Today" by the Chambers Brothers. And a piece examining my mystical experience at Chichen Itza in 1986.]]> http://axelmundi.com/news.html#28 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Psychedelic Music For A New Era - Axel Mundi - Journal http://axelmundi.com/news.html#27 The new album is about alchemy--the ancient science of changing coarse materials into precious metals, and the occult guide to elevating the soul. My work is a process of changing basic sound into psychedelic (mind-elevating) music. The second half of the album depicts a seeker's transformation from alchemical scientist to initiated shaman.]]> http://axelmundi.com/news.html#27 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700 Psychedelic Music For A New Era - Axel Mundi - Journal http://axelmundi.com/news.html#26 I have released my album Bhagavad Symphony for sale on the website. The Bhagavad Gita is the bedrock of my personal path and I decided to do an album inspired by it. I took some of the key passages that I think sum up the message and worked them into lyric form for several of the songs. The album is long--over 60 minutes--and features the Axel Mundi Horn Section as well as some further forays into psychedelic sound.]]> http://axelmundi.com/news.html#26 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700 Psychedelic Music For A New Era - Axel Mundi - Journal
