Arcturian Dream
Music producer and multi-instrumentalist Eric Montross takes listeners into a new epoch of soul satisfying, and mood elevating beats, chill hop and world inspired dance music. These tunes are dynamic in that they are both soothing and energizing simultaneously. They were created with the ecstatic dance journey in mind but can serve a festival atmosphere just as well. There is a clear intention to infuse the tracks with emotion.
The sonic architecture is comprised of bumpin beats, polyphonic rhythms, world instrumentation and soaring other worldly vocal layerings. Within the recordings you’ll experience didgeridoo, hang drum, flute, esraj, piano, melodica, guitar, strings, and uniquely arranged vocals elements. Some tracks even incorporate throat singing from his studies with the legendary Soriah. The live show can be a one man DJ with some live singing and melodica playing. There’s also the possibility of a full ensemble depending on the production goals.
The creator draws from his experience gained through studying ethnomusicology, and previous projects like Illuminertia. This is the next chapter of a heartfelt musical saga aimed at healing and uplifting communities and cultures around the world.
