Since 2008, East Forest’s “lush” (Rolling Stone) and “blissful” (NPR) music has blended ambient, neoclassical, electronic, and avant-pop to explore sound as a tool for inner journeys and consciousness expansion. Known for being the first musician to collaborate with <a href="https://www.ramdass.org/east-forest-x-ram-dass-album/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ram Dass</a>, his latest endeavor is the feature-length film <a href="https://eastforest.org/music-for-mushrooms" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Music for Mushrooms</a>, a narrative documentary showcasing the transformative power of psychedelics, music, and community.	“There's something about the combination of how music can unlock–it makes the medicine so smooth and the emotion is so amplified that it’s just right there. It’s a core human experience that they're reflecting back, and it’s for all of us.” –&nbsp; East ForestSee Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
