Transcend, by Zeena Schreck

Transcend

jonarmst Zeena really did a fabulous job on this. The closest musical comparison that comes to mind is Eno's Ambient series, but with a distinctive and unique take. The pieces are minimal enough to be suitable for deep states of meditation and contemplation while nevertheless containing enough slowly morphing complexity to warrant close study, depending on the mood of the listener. This really deserves a quality vinyl edition even though the song length isn't terribly amenable to that. Favorite track: Gone Beyond.

sonovnature Those outstanding transitions where statics and dynamics seems to melt together made me think at some of the best Eno´s moments and about Bernini´s "Estasi di Santa Teresa
D´Avila".
Favorite track: Parting Clouds.

about

“If you have strength of character, you can use that as fuel to not only be a survivor but to transcend simply being a survivor, use an internal alchemy to turn something rotten and horrible into gold.”
~Zeena Schreck

All good things come in threes: The three lengthy pieces in 'Transcend' totals nearly 52 minutes altogether, affording the listener ample meditative journeys of contemplation and sonic catharsis, ending with an exhilaratingly triumphant sense of dashing through space and time, releasing the ballast of all pain and suffering, emerging as a Victor.

The succinct titles focus on specific Buddhist themes, directing the mind toward wider and deeper understanding of ones own spiritual path and experience.

The album's official release, June 4th, 2023, is Saga Dawa Düchen, a date of immense Buddhist importance commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and Parinirvana of Buddha Shakyamuni.

'Transcend' debuted at Snow Gallery NYC on June 3rd, 2023, for their third exhibition in a series, 'Movement of the Triangle,' inspired by Kandinsky’s 'Concerning the Spiritual in Art.'

The exhibition also marks the first time originals of Zeena's visual art are shown together with works of her late godfather Kenneth Anger.

Album cover for Transcend is a detail from a larger piece, 'Ladders,' original art by Zeena Schreck on display at Snow Gallery until end of July, 2023.
