TRANSMUTEO: EPISODE 1 – ENTERING THE CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL – FOR RADIO BOREDCAST

Transmuteo is the audiovisual, multimedia project of Jonathan Dean, along with various collaborators, visual and musical. The project encompasses sound, live performance, video, visual art, gallery installation and experimental social networking. The sound of Transmuteo is inspired by new age music, especially the pioneering 1970s and 80s work of artists such as Iasos, Bearns & Dexter, Steve Halpern and Malcolm Cecil. New age beliefs - Dolphin Consciousness, The Melchizedek Method, crystal healing, Angelic Reiki - provide a conceptual basis for the project. The music utilizes samples, environmental sounds, found and prepared cassettes, effects pedals, synths and analog drone to create dense, textural, psychedelic music that revels in the shining artifice of the New Age.

For Radio Boredcast, Transmuteo has created four special one-hour broadcasts that collect meditative sounds from various musicians, along with exclusive pieces created by Transmuteo especially for the Boredcast. Along the way, you will hear guided meditations, channeled messages, interview excerpts, descriptions of advanced spiritual technologies, as well as the inspirational words of your host, one of the Atlantean Starseeds of Transmuteo.

The project began in early 2011 in Tallahassee, Florida, where several multimedia performances were mounted which combined video, music and group meditation. The debut release for the project was released on July 15th of 2011, a cassette entitled Cymaglyphs on the Rotifer Cassettes label, based in Northern California. The small edition of the tape sold out in a week. February 2012 saw the release of Dreamsphere Megamix, a 90-minute cassette that utilizes binaural technology to induce a series of energetic awakenings in the listener. A special edition of the cassette is accompanied by a limited edition book containing digital art by Transmuteo, along with instructions for "dreaming awake" in the New New Age. The Atlantean Starseeds of Transmuteo are currently based in New Orleans.
