Album Description:

Inspired by the epic writings of Maha Devi Li Ra La, the music of this Spindrift album penetrates the mists of ancient mythology, granting a musically enrapturing glimpse of the enigmatic God Poseidon, whose dominion over the Mediterranean Sea Waters lies at the source of many fantastic seafarer adventures, the grandeur, heroism, and courage of which capture the imagination of human spirit to this day. The gentleness as well as raw nature power of the continually moving oceanic waters weave through the melodies and rhythms of “Poseidon”, beckoning the listener to not only lose him/herself in the infinity of the Oceans, but to also be reborn in the purifying and refreshing life energy of the oceanic waves that carry the soul to levels of existence beyond any limiting human confines. Occasional siren-like voices lure the senses into the sweet oblivion of underwater/subconscious delights of the soul, opening the vistas on exotic life forms beyond our everyday perceptions, with ancient ruins reminding of glories long sunken to the oceanic depths of our universal mind.

Spindrift Bio

Spindrift Bio

Spindrift is the artist name of Aaron Marshall. Aaron is an ambient musician and composer for music, film, and media. His style gracefully combines modern classical compositional techniques with organic textures, and expertly synthesized sounds.

Every step in Aaron’s process is meticulously thought through. Yet, he manages to capture the essence of the moment while still blending and coloring sounds like a sonic painter.

Aaron grew up in the forests of Indiana near the beautiful university city of Bloomington. Much of his time was spent roaming through the woods and inhaling the sacredness of nature. It influenced his very outlook on life, as the sky and the stars above him and the trees and meadows in front of him became his best friends and healing agents against the stress and trivialities of everyday life. This endless seeming benevolent force of nature began to flow into his creative endeavors, and soon prompted him to express his high flying and still earthbound feelings into exquisite musical creations that have since then delighted countless listeners of his already published music albums and soundtracks.

Spindrift Bio 2

“Spindrift” characterizes the nature of his music masterfully, since it is a great force of nature – equivalent to the force of a big storm or speedy wind gale – that whirls up particles and sweeps them as spray over the vast expanses of an ocean, as sand over a desert or steppe, and as snow over an ice landscape. The force’s impact causes layers of the solid or liquid matter to be swept away in a spray like fashion, catapulting it into a state between the material and the immaterial, between the physical and the spiritual. Wind characterizes the ethereal, and it is within this element of nature that spirit anchors itself into the physical.Spindrift Bio 3 Propelled by this great force, and surrendering to its impact, the creative mind receives higher inspiration, which it then incorporates into creations of powerful content and exciting, extraordinary shapes and forms. The movement can assume any form of dynamic, from playful spins and whirls, dance like bounces and daring jumps, to roaring adventures of bold and brash bursts of energy that have you holding on to the edge of your seat while allowing the impact of these passionately entertaining, yet infinitely soothing soundscapes to wash over you and present you with a new and delightful outlook on life, as the composer takes you on a joyride through the inner landscapes of his creative mind.

Living up to the profound meaning of his artist name, Aaron endeavors to keep his mind open to the powerful flow of a higher, greater force of inspiration, while translating these valuable impulses into artful and beautiful musical creations that stun the listener. Throughout the whole listening experience of any of his albums, Aaron manages to keep a sense of freshness and originality that leaves the listener stunned with the impression of having glanced at the beauty and glory of his own eternal soul, deeply nourished in ways that are not easy to come by in our today’s stress and noise filled world.
