Amani Friend’s artistic vision spans the fields of music composition, sound design, graphic design, & visionary artwork … all rooted in world travel, ancient cultures, consciousness exploration, and the mastery of modern tools for artistic expression. At a young age Amani traveled the world extensively with his parents as they explored ancient civilizations. These early experiences created an innate understanding of the diversity of the world and the common threads that bridge us between the ancient and the future. Amani has been participating in the electronic music movement since the early ‘90s, and has been consistently dedicated to bringing traditional forms of creative expression into the expansive field of possibilities found in modern technology. This vision of a unified field of artistic expression led to the formation of Global Dragon in 1998, a multi-media hub for creative and conscious design. As a visual artist, Amani’s roots formed out of the expansive realms of electronic music flyers and posters which he first began designing in 1997. Over the years that followed, Global Dragon captured a unique iconographic style that transcended time while remaining grounded and accessible. Amani’s authenticity and vision comes from the vast personal experiences in the psychedelic realms of the mind … explored and shared with the collective fellowship found in the global dance culture. For the past 12 years Amani has been prolifically producing music for electronic dance, chilled-out dub, intelligent electronic soundscapes, world grooves, ecstatic dance, yoga, and meditation. Along with a deeply talented group of collaborators, Amani releases music under the names Desert Dwellers, Shaman’s Dream, Liquid Bloom, and Variant Field … together having produced remixes for Jai Uttal, Deep Forest, Deva Premal, and Karsh Kale. |
