Bart Hawkins’ newest album for Spotted Peccary Music, Entering the Axis Mundi, picks up where its predecessor Visions of Eden left off, continuing a sonic retelling of a creation myth. However, instead of the book of Genesis, this time Hawkins drew inspiration from the concept of axis mundi, meaning “cosmic axis”—the core of existence where time and space are nonlinear and all history convergent.

Hawkins found the perfect language of this concept in the modular synthesizer; its sounds are innately cyclical, yet in constant motion. He says, “The modular synth itself is an axis mundi, it pulls you in, where out of chaos comes clarity of focus, the center that all revolves around.” Tranquil opener “A Joyous Return” builds like a cresting wave as elongated chimes ripple around an anchoring modular synth pattern. The thrilling “To Ride a Pterodactyl” features some of Hawkins’ most innovative sound design yet. Here, he feeds the modular synth through a Moog Theremin to conjure the searing screeches of a prehistoric beast.

Throughout the nine tracks of Entering the Axis Mundi, Hawkins further establishes himself as a master of atmospheres extruded from the complex palette of the modular synthesizer. From the wistful adventure of “River Boat to Atlantis” to the galloping tension of “Race to Cosmos Redshift 7 Galaxy,” Bart Hawkins is at home in any world he weaves.

A Walk in the Shadow Garden
by Rudy Adrian

supported by 31 fans who also own “Entering The Axis Mundi”

Incredibly beautiful, soothing & wrapped in mysterious atmospherics for the mind to explore in it's own time. A perfect follow up to As Dusk Becomes Night, an amazing achievement considering the exceptional qualities of the previous album. Transcending beyond ambient music into communication directly with the abstracted language of the nervous system. It's music to help the body let go, very unique & from a genuinely special place that is sensitive, mysterious and gliding into serenity. <3 The Itzamna Collective

Fantastic deep primordial shamanic ambient music that will make you want to eat a bunch of mushrooms and crawl naked through the jungle, or perhaps just sit quietly in a dark room with good headphones. Your choice. Travis N
