Welcome to Astral Mixtape:

Live at the Art of Living

Here’s a guide to our seamless program

Let It Hakunetsu

Tame Impala/Evil Needle/Villa Lobos/Astral Mixtape

Lights flash and strobe at the end for an exciting finish.

7 Hellos

Astral Mixtape

Two violins start with ponderous piano and a soulful cello melody, turning into an EDM inspired rave.

Nimbi/Biostep

Astral Mixtape

Harmonics and effects float in the air, and clouds slowly turn in the sky. A club beat enters the scene as the strings swirl around the unstoppable momentum of the synth.

Do the Astral Plane

Flying Lotus/Astral Mixtape. Featuring guest artist, Chase Bryant, aka “Chase on Bass”

Goddess Gardens

Saariaho/Rimsky-Korsakov/Vaughan Williams/Astral Mixtape

Beginning at the beachfront of the garden, voices and flutes begin to circle around the musicians as they enter the gate and converse in distant quotations of familiar music. Culminates in a wild synth and cello duet.

The Best Part of Appalachian Spring

Aaron Copland/Daniel Caesar/Jean Sibelius/Astral Mixtape

Intensity fades and good vibes abide as Appalachian Spring and Best Part come into the picture.

BRIEF PAUSE

The Lung

Hiatus Kaiyote/Elephant Ornament/Astral Mixtape

Smooth lines and green lights.

Aalap and Tarana

Kala Ramnath/Astral Mixtape

Indian classical music meets improvised synth.

Horizon

McCoy Tyner/Astral Mixtape

Jazz. Ends with a thunderous piano solo.

Astor Piazzolla Superstar

Piazzolla/Webber/Astral Mixtape

Argentinian tango meets Jesus Christ Superstar.

Astoria

Astral Mixtape

You are standing on a gray, pearlescent beach, staring at the ocean. As you begin to lose your sense of self, you find something better in its place.

Away From Here

Astral Mixtape

Thoughtful and longing strings meld together in lyrical harmony, underscored with beautiful bass lines.

Catavango

Astral Mixtape

Whimsical, danceable, hyperpop/rock epic with an introspective interlude. Rave lights and spotlights
