Music from thomas busch and co: "for this collection of songs we drew a lot of inspiration from the aztec people, i spent last winter in south america just backpacking from village to village, it was as much a spiritual journey as it was a physical one" says thomas of his as of yet untitled project. This is clearly evident in the rich soundscapes of mystic chants and tribal beats i witnessed by the band last month at the martinez annual world music festival, Busch says of the bands live performances "i like to become whatever instrument im taking on at the time, guitar, bass, bongos, anything, it becomes an appendage of the self as well as of the spirit"
