Mark Seelig’s ambient-organic The Disciple’s Path follows upon the passionate deep sonic enchantment of his previous Disciple (Projekt, 2010).  Seelig returns to his solo work on this unique, engaging medicine music. Steeped in traditional Indian Ragas, the sultry ambient washes and occasional entrancing rhythms form the backdrop for Mark’s organic and intimate Bansuri flute melodies. Potent and seductive, the pieces venture to the frontiers of consciousness, animating the 78 minutes of music with an inviting enticement into dimensions of the beyond.

Textura: “Immersive in the extreme, this album draws the listener into its shamanistic lair for four mystical excursions. Mark Seelig your devoted guide drapes his alluring North Indian Bansuri bamboo flute playing across trance-inducing backdrops more akin to traditional Indian Ragas than ambient-electronic soundscapes. Seelig,  a self-described student and practitioner of shamanic healing teachings, treats the musical form with sincerity, humility, and respect. As he states, his project aspires ‘to honour life in general and to specifically pay reverence to all people immersed in ancient wisdom traditions of the world.’ At seventy-eight minutes, the release is long, yet avoids feeling overlong when its content so naturally lends itself to performances of extended length. On the inner sleeve, Seelig mentions that for those who’ve experienced the deep-meditation sensation of never wanting a certain piece of music to end, the title track will still seem too short. One expects they’d say much the same about the recording as a whole.”

After years of collaborations with Steve Roach, Byron Metcalf and Loren Nerell, Seelig ventures back to his own solo music. On the four tracks the mind is engaged and entranced by Bansuri flute, dilruba (Indian cello), electronic violin, harmonic chants, soundscapes, percussion, and drones.

CD in 6-panel digipak. Limited edition of 500.
