fuelled with psychedelic guitar, vocals, and a healthy dose
of improvisation rooted in jazz.
His current projects include writing and performing solo
music for San Francisco based label Six Degrees Records,
yogic world fusion grooves with Craig Kohland & Shaman's
Dream out of Los Angeles, and multi genre electronic alchemy
with Desert Dwellers - a collaboration that includes Amani

Amani
Producer
Amani Friend (founding member of Desert
Dwellers & Liquid
Bloom) has been a musician since his fingers could reach
a keyboard or percussion instrument. A graduate of the College
of Santa Fe's cutting-edge Contemporary Music Program, he
has nearly two decades of music production experience in
jazz, blues, dub, electronica, ambient, world music, yoga,
healing, and progressive dance music ...always combining
the diversity of the world with the most modern production
methods.
Amani produces regularly with studio partners Treavor Moontribe
and Rara Avis under the name Desert Dwellers. The roots
of this “virtual band" come deep from within the electronic
music gatherings taking place in the deserts of the Southwest.
The Desert Dwellers have remixed artists such as Deep Forrest
and Karsh Kale; their music appears on White Swan Records,
Six Degrees, Native State, Bedrock, System Recordings, Ritual
Sounds, and their own label Desert Trax. Amani also produces
under Shaman’s Dream, Liquid Bloom, Amani vs. Teapot, and
Cerebral Dub. When not making music, Amani has become known
for his strong vision in graphic design and digital artwork
(Global
Dragon). |
