Mind Altering Records

Sun Sessions by solarone - double disc CD-R set - These recordings are raw and unmastered. Most of the work for this project was done in 2004 and 2005, but some was also done in 2009. All material on this double album was written, performed, recorded, and mixed by Christopher D. Miner aka solarone (except where noted). For this album, Chris/solarone used a Yamaha Motif, a Yamaha MO6, a microkorg, a hand held camcorder, acoustic and electric guitars, various hand drums, rain sticks, bells, chimes, tire chains, and other percussion, an ADAT, a 24 channel mixing board, a Loop Station, plenty of effects, and his voice. The Tibetan chanting on "Prayers for a Beloved Sun" is from a field recording (via a camcorder) Chris made in 2003 during a close friend's memorial service.
