In this two-headed hydra, musician Franklin Mockett does the instrumentation, recording and production, while photographer Rebecca Rose Harris crafts the visual and conceptual art, words and videos. In the peaceful ethereal sweetness of this music from another era, inspired by the interpretation of dreams, ancient rituals and the spiritual exploration of their personal experiences, Samana seeks a kind of inner essence. Their name expresses “leaving behind social conventions and obligations in order to achieve a rhythm of life aligned with nature’s ways.”

Samana’s raw and esoteric, coarse and poetic, sweet and fragile chants pursue emotion and magic with generous reverberating sounds, in which Rebecca’s voice lingers like that of a pagan priestess devoted to philosophical rituals and ancient cults. These distant chants brimming with cinematographic power seem to create a bridge between ideals, the yearnings of the Flower Power movement and 21^st century technology and sound.

Intense and floaty, enchanting and full of emotion, Samana’s music will take spectators to realms and worlds they have never been to, where you suddenly find inner peace, as if by magic.
