专辑简介

Armed with a live show that is continually evolving, the music of East Forest is “a revelatory excursion in sound” (Under The Gun) that invites listeners to “go on a journey of self discovery” (Earmilk). East Forest’s “blissful” (NPR) brand of music for old souls blends achingly emotional wordlessness, ambience, and contemporary classical touches with a influence of pop sensibilities and electronic flavors. Originating as the solo project of Trevor Oswalt, his interest in sound healing spurred his own research; eventually, his explorations and talents on the matter led to his own TED Talk in 2015. Oswalt’s music blends his life experiences as a performing pianist for a dance troupe, playing music in a hospice, as well as time spent with shamans in Amazonian jungle and backpacking throughout the mountains of the U.S. searching for inspiration. The project has made appearances including Mysteryland, Gillette Stadium, Grace Cathedral, Summit At Sea, SXSW, Google and toured throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe performing with artists including Moby, Crystal Bowersox, and Bluetech. His latest collaborative album Ritual Mystical hit #1 on the iTunes electronic charts (August 2016) and his forthcoming piano focused LP Held, will be released on December 16, 2016 on 1631 Recordings.
