Conscious Sedation by Janek Schaefer

"...the results are simply outstanding..." [Vital Weekly]

"While awaiting the operating theatre [during an existential summer of radiotherapy, chemical and nuclear medicine], the nurse mentioned I was about to have ‘conscious sedation’ surgery, to which I replied, “hold on there, I think you just gave my new album it’s title!”. It was my ambition to harness the energies, experience, and learning around me, blended with my new treatise of ‘+ve intent’, that I had conceived in the spring earlier this year. An album portrait of my own cosmic metaphysical experiences having daily ‘photon power showers’ in order to save my life, using the same fundamental electromagnetic waves that bring us our life on planet earth. The music is performed live using a palette of nine sounds, in nine variation tracks of evolving suspended suspense. To my mind it’s like a sonic portrait of the energy waves and fluid flow of life dawning within the aura of a celestial scene vibrating deep within my cell circuits. Liminal, subliminal, uplifting drifting like a comfortable soundtrack to hallucinogenic daydreams within the tunnels of the various energy scanners I passed through. Leave it playing all day/night in shuffle mode, quietly. I do.

The featureless film that the album soundtracks, is an abstract portrait of vibrating molecules, from the origin of life within me, nurturing my new baby cells to replace the rogue cells. It is the sound that changes, to become the evolving sonic stars. Stare at the watching eye of life looking back at you, or close your eyelids to watch the flickers of light. Turn it down, or turn it up, up to you. Be the change you want to see happen... with +ve intent."
