freewheelindave Seb Taylor and the other excellent musicians on this album are simply wonderful. Thank you for such an absorbing and skilled soundscape. Your laborious years spent at the keys show us an admirable, peacemaking and curious spirit. Worthy. Favorite track: Summoning, Pt. 1 (Bonus Instrumental Version).

Kinosophia aka dj utopia (mithology) CONGRATULATIONS for 20 years on Kaya Project!!! At first listening, before the 1st track ends, I can recognize it as a masterpiece 'album' (again)

Craig Willers (DJ Du Nord) I love this album. It’s more polished and sure than anything I’ve heard before. Thank you Seb for your inspirational music. It’s a long way from Death Metal lol. Favorite track: Summoning, Pt. 1 (ft. Bika Blasko).

about

2024 marks the 20 year (!) anniversary of the debut Kaya Project album ‘Walking Through’ & it’s been a while since the last one - So I’m pleased to finally present the latest Kaya Project offering ‘Transforming Sorrow’.

Featuring hand drawn artwork by the one & only Suzybee, this release includes 7 brand new Kaya Project tracks (plus 2 bonus versions) & a continuous mini-mix

I've also included a few bonus items - A video of the original live classical guitar improvisation that formed the basis of 'On Cliffe Bridge' as well as 2 bonus mixes - 1) a rocking excerpt / edit of the final hour from my BOOM 2023 DJ set and 2) a bonus uplifting 'Vocal Remixes' DJ mix including the remixes I worked on for Allen Ginsberg, Billie Maree, Arkanna, Ink Project, Evan Fraser & Vir McCoy (feat. Leah Song) Raio & Sophie Sofree and Raamayan Ananda.

Special Thanks to Andrew (Interchill Records), Jez (Ink Project), Nate Equanimous (High Vibe Records), Sariel & Sophie (Resueno), Billie Maree, Gill Arkanna, Jesse Goodman, Peter Hale, Allen Ginsberg Estate.

& to the music fans, true supporters & anyone who decides to purchase this Bandcamp release - THANKYOU!!

It wouldn’t be possible without you!

Magical and timeless all the way through. Favorite track would be The Aubergine of the Sun, except there's that part in the middle of Adrift where you start listening as a human and end up a one-eyed snail scrunching reality up into melting origami puzzles. a
