Traversing deep and wide into uncharted sonic territory, Dan Pound emerges with a whole new set of tracks that are un-classifiable by genre.

Combining shamanic/ethnic percussion, voice and indigenous instruments with ambient electronic, space soundworlds, there is an expansive journey of discovery ready to be had throughout this whole disc. One is called out to the far reaches of the Nether worlds, and upon listening, one can't help but to heed it's call.

Some moods are serene and tranquil, while others are mysterious, haunting or otherwise moody and atmospheric.
As well there are sonic portraits that beget feelings of triumph, glory, and even ecstasy.




2.  New re-working and re-mastering of three early albums on one new release,
    ROCK INTO SAND, also available.

This album is a culmination of whole tracks and excerpts from three early albums no longer available in physical form;
"In A Hummingbird's Dream", "Horizon" and "Heart's Core".

These sounds have been re-mixed and mastered by Dan and edited together in a musical mosaic collage that has made this an entirely all New album with all older material. A must have for fans of Mr. Pound.




3.  Core music from Dan’s, RED PLAINS used in the documentary, Southern Fried Bigfoot,
    airing on The Documentary Channel, April 13'th.


Ever really wondered about the existence of Bigfoot in the South?
Now is your chance to explore this very realistic possibility,
on April 13'th,  on The Documentary Channel, carried by DISH Network, at 9pm Eastern/8pm Central.  The DVD will also be sold in DOC's online store.

The reason for this plug here is because most of the core music from this picture is from Dan’s Cd, RED PLAINS. This is effectively used in eerie, swampy, atmospheric scenes.

It’s a very well made Doc, sure to make you think of the possibilities of other life forms existing among us in our world.    





4. In the works, LIVING PLANET, cd due out in fall.

Long form, continual textural flows combine with techno-induced grooves to produce another living, breathing space CD.

Tracks open, change, transmigrate and transduce into cellular forms to create a new life of substance that becomes available to the touch and senses by only aural means, but still manages to penetrate the inner core and essence that is the most real part of any mortal soul.

Stirring, primal, visceral, ancient, ambient, visual, moving shamanic space music.
In The Works.
