Review

There are a number of bunkers and tunnels in the Marin Headlands north of San Francisco that were built during World War II in anticipation of an attack, but were ultimately never used. These tunnels remain, there are many of them, each which has its own unique acoustic properties. Often on Sunday at noon, Shoemaker performs live in one of these tunnels - Construction 129. For Ravens in Moonlight, she is joined by two other musicians on didgeridoo, hand drums, bells and other percussion. The resulting collaboration offers an often trance-like sound weighing in somewhere between Dead Can Dance and Trance Mission. --Peter Thelen, Expose Magazine

Product Description

Recorded live in the scintillating acoustics of a U-shaped tunnel in a World War One mortar installation, Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend, Washington. Stars ignite imagination. Constellations form portraits; ancient stories foretell our inner Wisdom. Corvus (the Raven) unravels ties to our world of physical sensation. Cygnus Olor (the Swan) glides gracefully between water and air representing our first awareness of etheric inner brightness. Rima (the Peacock) holds the center in Night Skies journey of inner transformation, a symbol of our true consciousness of the astral.
