Temple Step: Electronic Production, Percussion and Vocals:
An ever growing wizard of sound, Temple Step has been an integral part of many musical projects over the last 15 years. From the full blown psychedelic trance band, Mantrix to sound healing project Sound Alchemia, Temple Step crosses all borders, genres and styles to true connect beyond mind what the essence of music really is.
Some of the project that have graced Temple Step’s presence are world music groups, some production acts, some both, but in the end the essence of live and produced music comes together within him. The fusion of technology and ancient instruments have always drawn Temple Step into a still point, a place where his creativity resides. Projects like Mantrix, Electric Eden, Zarafa, Samadhi, Sound Alchemia, Sufi Soul Electonica, Fingers of Fury, Darpan and many others been part of his musical journey which bring him to the present which he finally develops his own self directed group: The Temple Step Project.
Temple Steps roots, interests and intention are deep within ceremony and healing. A reiki master, psyco-spiritual and sound healer, Temple Step deeply feels his place in the world when he is in service through music and sound. Weather playing devotional music on tabla or middle eastern percussion in Sacred circles or rocking a dance floor on the DJ decks, Temple Step feels no borders, separation or discernment between genres, places or time.
As well as been a prolific producer, Temple Step is also an eastern percussionist using tabla, frame drum, daf, darbukka, riq and and drum kit to express the mystic tribal being within.
Hes is also a prolific DJ that has been sharing a life long journey of his inspiration and love of music with others playing many major festivals in Australia. He has played many times in different acts at the Rainbow Serpent Festivals, Earthdance, Woodford Folk Festival, Earthcore, Port Ferry Folk Festival and many other venues around Australia.
