AT is an organic music collective led by 24 year old multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bauer, of the Monterey Penninsula. Formed in 2006 in Santa Cruz, Astral Travel's music is immediately recognizable---wiht layers of crystalline, reverb-drenched delayed clean guitars dancing over driving hypnotic basslines awash with splashes of ethereal, breathy vocals...hazy, dreamy, swirling sonic arrangements inspired by loop-based electronica, 60's psychadelic guitar rock, John Frusciante's melodicism and Vivaldi's sweeping classical arrangements...
Love from the Astral
Worlds and Dreams Drown together today no more unreal than another, passing by, riding high, cutting deep, and fading away...and we are lulled---sung sweetly into oblivion, held by form's light, in our glittering prison of the person...
But you are the unchanging center of the wheel of life forever in motion---beginningless and uncaused. The Freedom of Being is Awareness---timeless, unbounded Love...In each moment, the creator and the destroyer dance hand in hand, endlessly in union...life death life death life...to live is to die....and so it goes, Death Forever to the False, Life Eternal To the Real, each moment a movement of LOVE...for only the false is ever destroyed, and only in mind, by us, for us, to show us how to know us as...Real.
To abandon false ideas is all that's required...self Love, and Love of the Self are separated by the Ocean of Knowledge and Ignorance....and behind them all, the source, from whence we come, from whence this music comes from and goes to, only to be drowned in the heart of silence...the home beyond words and worlds and concepts...the Sea of Light that we are awash in, that we stare from to watch the Dance of Duality, and to Dance with it...

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

Hey Guys! Just recieved your comment on the new song. I added actually 2 more of your songs on my playlist after listening! BEAUTIFUL!!! You guys remind me of John Frusciante's experimental stuff mixed with Cocteau Twins & other Fav'z of mine.. Keep up the good work and Happy Holidays! Your Friend and Fan Always. Vanessa If ever in Vegas, feel free to get in touch :-)
im having a hard time right now finding myself. my partner is gone and i feel empty. im left alone, and forced to go on with life without him and it is so hard. it is so true that "true happiness cannot be found in things that change or pass away.."
In the silver hush of a starry Winters night - In the song of the wind through the trees - In the gentle grace of the snowflakes as they fall - In the whispered promise of peace. Wishing you true deep blessings of the season.
You guys are great keep it going. Hey have you heard of a Seattle Band called Sky Cries Mary. Great band back in the 90's. Though they still play live and record once in awhile.
Your music is relaxing and dreamy. I like The World Wakes With Her very much. Your music reflects your kindness :) Kisses and have a nice Sunday Ilaria
