Entheos, Vol. 2 [Moon glow radio – 06.04.23]
Blessings. Welcome to the sonic temple. These Entheos mixtapes are meant to share my version of a worship service; music I put on throughout my Sundays to help me feel closer to the Creator, the Holy Spirit, the Cosmos and the Truth behind all things. Whether drawn from religious, mystical, or secular sources, these transcendent sounds inspire devotional or ecstatic or meditative moods. Hopefully it can do the same for fellow listeners…
featuring spiritual jazz, mystical folk, ecstatic minimalism and more.
