Turn On The Sunlight // Canoga to Haʻikū TAPE

California-based multi-instrumentalist Turn On The Sunlight aka This cassette was released by Jesse Peterson in July 2024 by Oregon-based psychedelic label Moon Glyph.

Contains 12 post-new age ambient tracks produced in collaboration with LA percussionist Carlos Niño. DL code included.

Laraaji is also participating.

Below is a commentary by the label.

"We live in the place and the place is within us. Sometimes we are in the same place, connected by the elements and our surroundings. Other times we are pushed into distant spaces, but connected telepathically, cherishing the intimacy that we once were and will be again. Most of the humble music that makes up Canoga to Haʻikū was recorded at one time by Jesse Peterson and Carlos Niño in Carlos' studio in California. Shortly after, Jesse traveled to Maui, where an acquaintance named Russ lent him his Casio CZ-1000 for the summer. With that instrument and the sounds of the surrounding children, birds, insects, lizards, frogs, goats, wind and rain, the finishing touches were added to these songs. A glimpse of the ocean through the palm trees and across the Pacific opened a portal into Carlos' studio where friendship dances in all its forms. A rainbow beckons, inviting everyone to jump into the water and share in its universal embrace."

Moon Glyph:

"We live in places and they live in us. Sometimes we're in the same place, linked together by the elements and our immediate surroundings. Other times, we push off into farther flung spaces, but stay connected as though telepathically, treasuring the closeness that once was and will someday be again. Most of the humble music that comprises 'Canoga to Haʻikū' was recorded in a single sitting by Carlos and Jesse in Carlos' studio in California. A little later, Jesse departed for Maui, where an acquaintance named Russ kindly lent him a Casio CZ-1000 for the summer. With that instrument and the surrounding sounds of children, birds, insects, lizards, frogs, goats, wind and rain, the finishing touches were added to these songs. The ocean a glimmer in the distance through the palms, a portal was opened across the Pacific to Carlos' studio, where friendship dances in all its forms. A rainbow beckoned and invited everyone to dive into the water and share in its universal embrace."
