about

Based in Australia, Laya Rocha and Caiseal Mor have been collaborating for nearly five years improvising all night concerts they call the Dreaming Deep. Both have a dedication to music for meditation. They also share experience with traditional Sufi practices.

The Dreaming Deep concert series has gone through an evolutionary process as they’ve toured Australia and Europe. Their early work was heavily influenced by Arabic, Turkish and Persian microtonal music with some melodies and arrangements feeling distinctly Celtic. They released their first three albums under the band name Khatunaya, a metaphor derived from the ancient Persian language that refers to the concept of heavenly Bliss.

“Last year we travelled around Mongolia for a month,” Caiseal reveals. “We were exposed to traditional Mongolian music and shamanic practices during that journey. The trip profoundly affected the direction of our work. We decided it was time to bring in more guest musicians to our concerts. So we changed the name of the project to the more inclusive Moonlight Tribe. Khatunaya marks a stage in our development as musicians. Moonlight Tribe signals a new direction.”

In Mongolian tradition the spirit world is referred to as the Ninety-Nine Skies. The title of this album is an offering of thanks for their journey and the people they met. “I made a personal connection between dreamspace and the spirit world a long time ago,” says Caiseal. “Our concerts lift the listeners gently into another world. We wanted to bring that experience to a wider audience. So Ninety-Nine Skies became a continuous journey track over an hour long.”

This is just the first version of Ninety-Nine Skies. Their work has been remixed in the past by hip-hop artists and DJ’s on the Conscious Club circuit.

“We like to hear what other artists can bring to the work. So we give them the raw recordings to play with.”

Caiseal and Laya are planning to create their own remixes over the next twelve months, adding guest musicians and reinterpreting the riffs.

This is music to inspire dreams and the imagination. Moonlight Tribe recommend you put the headphones on before bed, close your eyes and allow the music to take you Deep into your Dreaming.

Ninety-Nine Skies is available at moonlight-tribe.bandcamp.com or direct from the artists at www.moonlight-tribe.com
