Ecstatic Dance

φhαέthon—co-host of Ecstatic Honokaa and music enthusiast, drawing inspiration from her namesake, the tropicbird (koa‘e kea), aethereus, out to sea much of the time. On her rare sightings as music facilitator, she seeks intricate ecstatic states in the energy transition between space, time, light, and sound. As a daughter of the sun and our vast oceanid home, she is a humbled and misty-eyed lover of the shores of sonic worlds defined by salty contrast with sweet, where lies the intangible melting point of now and then.

Both reverent observer and photon dancer, φhαέthon delights in percussive echoes of interwoven polyrhythms resolving into a swirling wash of sound and voices from here, far, and the not-so-distant past speaking of beautiful things to come.
