Quetzatl is known for performing LIVE hardsteppin'
Drum & Bass,
his adventurous albums have been featured on College and Digital
Radio
all over the U.S., Canada and the U.K. as well as in Independent
Films.
Relying heavily upon improvisation and taking an
avant-garde approach,
Quetzatl continues to push the envelope of live drum & bass
and electronica
with fast-paced breakbeats, sophisticated rhythms, filtered pads
and acidic bass.
In addition, he continues his long term project of documenting the
audio waves of
the biosphere and field recordings from sacred sites and environments
around the planet.
A good portion of his time is also spent delving
into the cosmological belief structures
and hieroglyphs of ancient civilizations like the Maya, Egyptians,
and Sumerians.
When he's not scribbling down the leg to arm ratio of a new Australopithecine
finding,
he's whippin' 540 fakie big spins and sailing over shopping carts
on his skateboard.
"Having vistited Cozumel, Chichen Itza and
Tulum in my teens, I was open to
the vibration of "The Mayan Factor" when I first chanced
upon it, and after a nueral workout came to the conclusion that
the Mayan Cosmological viewpoint was not just something to wonder
at, but something to apply to our present moment, each moment.
The awareness of Time, not just as a dimension, but an artistic
medium.
After helping to throw a Summer Solstice Jungle
Ritual in the warm valleys of Tennessee during the Crystal Rabbit
Moon in the year 1996, a friend and I heard the call to gather at
the Four Corners Monument, for the Boundry Dissolving Ceremony.
Having zipped across the United States, upon arriving we set up
camp along the
San Juan River. We awoke at dawn with the other kin to form two
huge concentric circles around the monument. State boundries held
no significant meaning for us.
I continued researching all the latest data in the fields of Archeaology,
Astronomy, Linguistics, Genetics, Magnetics, Physics, things were
continuing to cohese....
becoming more connected.
There was information that the citizens of Earth needed to be aware
of.
Since many people do not have time or make time to read books,
another way was devised....
Distribute information through more a subtle means of artistic expression.
Here we are at the meeting of two worlds, the old
and the new....
Coexisiting together for a short time during the transitional phase
shift.
Density waves are sweeping through the Universe, organizing the
energy.
The Tzolkin, along with the Earth's orbital relationships with the
Sun, the Moon and Venus
presents us with a way to synchronize with these organizational
energy waves.
The New Time is upon us, waiting to be navigated."
