Transcend by Justin Bontje

"This album has been the culmination of explorations and collaborations from summer 2021 to the end of 2022. Constantly revisiting this music over the course of life's happenening has allowed me to be inspired by the people and the events happening around me. I am humbled by the land that surrounds me and my recording space. Incorporating the sounds of nature into these songs has been a great joy. During the production of this album I have been blessed with building a yurt recording studio which allows me to be immersed in my environment while having a comfortable space to create in.

I am also immensely grateful for my friends who continue to travel to this space to create with me. Without you none of this would be possible. The efforts of my fellow musicians are weaved into the album with thier unique flavours and elements. Transcend is a departure from the spatial realities of our physical environment. Close your eyes and allow yourself to get lost in your own imagination."
