Earth Energy

Picture of Utopia Studios in the path of a major earth energy ‘ley line’.

Utopia Studios lies in the golden valley of Hope Bagot, England. This is the area where Alfred Watkins had a vision of ‘a chain of fairy lights’ across the beautiful landscape. Since this time ley lines have become associated with prehistoric pathways, ancient astronomy, UFOs, mysterious earth energy, ghosts, flying shaman and spirits of the dead.

We discovered, upon moving here, that a major ley line runs straight through the studio and through the ancient Norman church that lies in the Hope Bagot Valley. I totally believe this energy drives the music we create here. Many visitors have commented on the feeling of energy they experience when here for a period of time.

I like to think of these energy lines as the noosphere – a concept Teilhard de Chardin the philosopher coined for the energy created by the human collective consciousness. I have tried to depict this ‘human energy’ throughout the album.In fact, it’s the first sound you hear and appears throughout the piece.

I hope this positive energy reaches you through your speakers (try to listen on something half decent – you deserve it!).

Love and Light,

David.
