about

Portal is an exploration of the seven centers of awakening. Each track on the album represents an energy center in the body, a Chakra in Yogic philosophy, in which is held certain energies that we're either aware of or are in the dark about. The music represents the transmutation of those energies from darkness to light beginning in lower realm of the material plane, through the portal of the heart, and into the astral realm.

The first three pieces represent the Root, Sacral, and Solar Plexus Chakras and address some of the energies held in those areas. They are in the material plane. The fourth piece, Portal, is the Heart chakra and is the portal between the material and astral realm. Everything must pass through the heart in order to transcend to a higher plane. The fifth piece, Veritas, is the Throat chakra and addresses the Truth held in our voice. This is also the first Chakra in the astral plane. The sixth piece, Conical Visions, goes through the sixth and seventh Chakras, which are the Third Eye Chakra (knowledge, visions, Gnosis) and the Crown Chakra (The All, Anima Mundi, final transcendence into vibration and light). The journey closes with the melody that was heard on the first piece (Arise) and therefore brings us full circle back to the beginning. Having gone through all the seasons, we arise and begin again with the wisdom that no energy is created or destroyed, but rather it evolves in ever moving circles.
