East Forest is a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and ceremony guide.  His work explores living authentically within a modern context through an introspective methodology that weaves together elements of electro-acoustic live music, nature, technology, brain science, and guided meditation.  His "ceremony-concerts" utilize a skilled instrumental repertoire to create space for an emotive inner journey.  "Music For The Deck of The Titanic" is the latest chapter in his ever-evolving career, which includes over 30 albums, including 2019’s album-length collaboration with spiritual pioneer Ram Dass, the five-hour-long psilocybin soundtrack "Music For Mushrooms: A Soundtrack For the Psychedelic Practitioner", and collaborations with artists Jon Hopkins, Typhoon, Laraaji, Dead Prez, Nick Mulvey, Peter Broderick, DJ ANNA and more.  As a trailblazer in the global movement of meditation and inner resilience, he offers guided meditations, retreats, a weekly podcast (Ten Laws w/East Forest), and talks that guide students through a brain-body approach aimed towards non-religious and grounded spirituality; he is a faculty member at the Esalen Institute and has worked with Google and Johns Hopkins neuroaesthetics project, UCSF, Wavepaths, Consciousness Hacking, TED, Numinus, is the co-founder of JourneySpace.com, and more.
