Bone Tree Soundtracks Volume 1

Recorded Initially in August 1999 in the Warfield Building downtown San Francisco for the 1st rendition of the BONE TREE
Installation Performance choreographed by Kaosmikitty.
The Bone Tree Sculpture was created entirely out of the bones of animals who had passed on from this plane and assembled
by creator Dana Albany and her crew. It was over 30 feet tall and rolled around the desert playa on wheels with my sound
system and musical electronics housed insided the trunk.
Each Musical piece (except for the "Effluvian" pieces was conceived to represent a specific zodiac sign complete with
sonic representations of the element that they are associated with as well as the specific musical note each sign is associated with.
While the initial recordings were made in 1999, they continued to evolve slightly with each repeated performance as the Bone Tree Ritual
returned to Burning Man in 2001 (and was intended to return in 2000 but there was a problem getting the police to allow Burning Man's
Department of Public Works to move the tree to the playa the Thursday before the Festival with a flood of traffic already arriving to make it to
"hazardous" to attempt. Instead I did another installation for Burning Man in 2000 titled "Alien Soundtracks from the Human Body" which will
soon be uploaded here as well. The Bone Tree Rituals had ahugely positive impact on my life and caused many eddies and currents in the timeline of earth.
And it is hard not to see a relevance between the performance of the final Bone Tree Ritual on September 3rd, 2001, the Dust Devils which manifested
out of the Burning of the Man immediately afterwards (Documented in the video for the LEO track in Volume One) and the horrific NIghtmare that
changed America forever only 8 days later. I am very pleased to re-release this newly remastered version of all three volumes of the Bone Tree Soundtracks
in 2022 both on Bandcamp and as a very limited edition CD release (100 copies only). And the videos accompanying each track will hopefully give everyone
a sense of just how potent the magick of the Bone Tree really is. There are some additional videos from my trip to Europe when I played my first Ure THrall
live show there for the TESCO festival in Antwerp in 2007. While staying in a hostel in Venice (where the video for 'the Traveler' was shot) I happened to
meet a young lady who had just been to Burning Man that year and she was stunned to see the Bone Tree Cds that I was carrying with me for sale
on tour. "I just SAW this at Burning Man!" she exclaimed. "It was magical!" So apparently you can still find the beautiful and haunting Bone Tree
out on the playa if your timing is right and they decide to bring it out from it's permanent station at the Burning Man's Department of Public Works
when you happen to be visiting. If you are so luckym be sure and blow it a kiss for me and bathe in its power for a moment. Because you will never find another.
