About Astral Travel (Arkangelis on itunes and Amazon now
Astral Travel is an organic starchild collective led by 24-year-old multi-instrumentalist Andrew Webb Bauer. Working with angel-voiced singer Danielle Hiscock and percussionist/engineer Ryan Lotz has yielded 2 albums up to this point: "The Sound of Light", released June 2008, and "Arkangelis", released late-June 2009.
Swirling post-rock, shoe-gaze, ambient and IDM influences, Astral Travel entrances the listener into whirlpools of colorsound, sparkling with ineffable beauty, exploding with heavenly prismatic rainbows of dreamgazing, eargasmic bliss.
Crystalline guitars, pulsing, hypnotic basslines, cathedral organs, space echoes and futureverbs make love to waves of angelic vocals and ethereal, ambient washes of lushly treated, freshly picked notes from our soundgarden, birthing the frothy and delicious Astral Travel dessert of decadent delight. yummy.
"The Sound of Light" and "Arkangelis" bring you a collection of songs that give you a glimpse of their vision: hazy, dream-like vocals that drift in and out of recognition, but forever lulling you into a state of wordless emotion and a feeling of vague, sweeping otherworldly beauty.
Turn off the lights, turn up the volume and turn up your inner voice. This is the music you dream to, after all.

"I find that somehow, by shifting the focus of attention, I become the very
thing I look at, and experience the kind of consciousness it has; I become
the inner witness of the thing. I call this capacity of entering other
focal points of consciousness, love; you may give it any name you like.
Love says "I am everything". Wisdom says "I am nothing". Between the two,
my life flows. Since at any point of time and space I can be both the
subject and the object of experience, I express it by saying that I am
both, and neither, and beyond both." -Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Here is our first music video for "A New Hope":
Here are a few clips from the Capitola Peace Festival in 2007. They represent the culmination of an Instrumental music phase that has been eclipsed by our new material. Still, they are infused with the same energy and love that we strive to channel in every song.
