Fresh Tracks From the Auricle Collective!

Hello dear friends,

I hope life is good for you as we head into midsummer.

If you recall, back in April, I told you about the Auricle Collective. This community of more than 100 musicians is rooted in singing, chanting & music as art and spiritual practice. It includes the musicians that fuel our Bhakti Yoga practice.

Remember the olden days when we were all downloading our music? Then, a single song cost 99 cents. Now, in the streaming era, a song has to be downloaded 315 times for an artist to make the same amount of money. In other words, Spotify & other streaming services are making it much more difficult for artists to earn a living from their music. How can we support the artists we love?

Well, we can’t change this system, but we can still work together to influence it. And the Auricle Collective is asking us to do just that, as it has designed an app and created an experiment to see if we can hijack the algorithms to feature & recommend our kirtan artists more often. By joining our voices together, we’ll have the ability to amplify each other powerfully. Instead of working for the algorithm, we’ll be making it work for us. How to join in this experiment? It’s really simple: click on this link to open the app, log in to Spotify and follow all your favorite artists with a single click. If all of us do this it will send a massive pulse to amplify the algorithms that recommend & feature music on Spotify. It will take you just 5 seconds to fire off a love explosion in service to spiritual music, and just think — by doing this you’ll not only help lift up your favorite artists, but you’ll also increase the visibility of many emerging artists in our community & introduce yourself to some amazing music you haven’t heard yet. Isn’t that cool? So let’s give it a try and see what happens!

The music in this week’s set is all new music from Auricle Collective artists — some of it hasn’t even been released yet. The artists have sent me lots of their new music, so there will be several more of these Fresh Tracks sets coming your way. Please enjoy, and until next time, my friends — Namaste.

THE MUSIC:

Hudost, Anthems of Home: Home Is Bigger Than Us
Wah!, High Energy: Gold
Jai Uttal, Let Me Burn: Ladder of Longing
Dave Stringer & Sheila Bringi, Glider: Samba Sadashiva
Dennis Hawk: Om Namah Shivaya
Sean Johnson & the Wild Lotus Band w/DJ Drez, Blue Easy Remixes (available in August): Calling the Spirits (Conjure Remix)
Dave Stringer & Madi Das, Mantra Americana: Om Namo Bhagavate
Hans Christian & Jim Gelcer, Mariupole ~ Single
Johanna Beekman & Benjy Wertheimer, Om Shanti (Equanimous Remix) ~ Single
Snatam Kaur: Ang Sang Waaheguru ~ Single
Luc Acke: Lokah Samasta ~ Single

Thoughts of Peace, Words of Love — More Fresh Tracks From the Auricle Collective

It has been a glorious summer & fall here, one of the most beautiful I can remember. But now the rains have started, and the leaves are falling. The Corvallis kirtan community continues to grow, and we’ll be starting live kirtan concerts again in December. It feels good to be returning to this magical practice.

Let’s enter the way back machine for a moment and recall, back in April, me telling you about the Auricle Collective — a community of more than 156 musicians rooted in singing, chanting & music as art and spiritual practice. These are the musicians that fuel our Bhakti Yoga practice. If you were able to participate in the Spotify Experiment, explained in the 2 previous podcasts, we are deeply grateful. Here are some of the results.

Since the launch of The Experiment, we have generated over 2,000 Spotify followers for our kirtan artists, with an average growth of 280% in followers from before the Experiment began. This means that our artists’ music will be circulated more widely through Spotify’s algorithms, and whenever any Auricle artist releases new music, many more listeners will be notified. We now have 1,00 subscribers to the Auricle newsletter and have heard from many artists from around the world who wish to join the Collective. This is a fantastic beginning, and we’re excited to see the impact expand and the ripple effect over time. We’re so thankful for your support in making this possible!

The Spotify Experiment is now ongoing; anyone can follow all of our artists with one click at any time. Click on this link, and please continue to share!

Here’s some more exciting news — sacred chant has been designated as a new category for the Grammy awards! The next few podcasts will be featuring music from our Grammy-nominated artists, so stay tuned!

The music in this week’s set is the third and last of the podcasts with all new music from Auricle Collective artists. Please enjoy, and if you think of it, please give the podcast a rating on iTunes, it will help more people to find us.

Vote. Believe in the vision, and what a beautiful world we’ll create. Much love to you all, and until next time — Namaste.
