East Forest: Sonic Psychedelic Ceremonies & Mushroom Music For The Masses | 558 | Luke Storey
Today’s guest has been using the universal language of music to guide people on transformative inner journeys since 2008. East Forest, also known as Krishna-Trevor Oswalt, has crafted an electro-acoustic sound that bridges the realms of ambient, neoclassical, electronic, and indie-pop. His work, whether through his Music For Mushrooms albums or his collaborative projects with Ram Dass, offers a grounded, embodied approach to the psychedelic experience, helping to make the intangible feel undeniably real.
In today’s conversation, we’ll explore how East Forest’s music serves as a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical, guiding listeners through deep, often challenging, experiences. We’ll talk about the power of intentional music in psychedelic ceremonies, why it’s not about how many times you journey with plant medicine but the level of devotion you bring to it, and the complex process of creating and performing music for such profound spaces. There’s also a fascinating discussion on the future of music, touching on the impact of AI and the inevitable peak content we’re heading toward.
We’ll also hear all about how he first connected with the legendary Ram Dass, the life lessons he’s learned from such a profound teacher, and how these teachings have influenced his musical creations, inner work, relationships and the world at large. Plus, enjoy a beautiful guided meditation from Ram Dass to open this conversation, and guided meditation for chaotic times to close us out. This is certainly one you’ll want to save, come back to and share with friends, as we celebrate the power of music to deepen and illuminate our connection to ourselves and the world around us.
