In September 2023 I went on my fourth pilgrimage to Thailand. The album Meditations at The Warriors House contains recordings I made using my trusty Tascam DR-40 while staying at The Warriors House and also at various other locations in the environs of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The album includes the sounds of nature and magickal rituals some of which I was a part of and witnessed. With this album I sincerely hope to capture the flavours and essence of the beautiful and transcendental Thai Buddhist culture and landscape. 10% of the proceeds from this album will go to the charity Wat Don Chan in Thailand. The track Night Time at The Warriors House is currently streaming in full on my SoundCloud account.
