East Forest
East Forest is a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and ceremony guide. His work explores living authentically within a modern context by weaving together elements of electro-acoustic live music, nature, technology, brain science, and guided meditation.
His “ceremony-concerts” utilize a skilled mostly instrumental repertoire to create space for an emotive inner journey; the catalog includes over 30 albums, including 2019’s album-length collaboration with spiritual pioneer Ram Dass, the 5-hour-long psilocybin soundtrack “Music for Mushrooms: A Soundtrack for the Psychedelic Practitioner,” and collaborations with artists Jon Hopkins, Typhoon, Laraaji, Dead Prez, Nick Mulvey, Peter Broderick, DJ ANNA, and more.
He offers meditations, retreats, a weekly podcast (Ten Laws w/ East Forest), Patreon, and talks. Institutional collaborations range from working with Google and Johns Hopkins neuroaesthetics project, UCSF, Consciousness Hacking, TED, Field Trip Health, Numinus, and he is the co-founder of JourneySpace.com.
