We had the good fortune of connecting with Enter the Stargate and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Enter the Stargate, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
We’ve been all around the world attending & performing at concerts & artistic events of all kinds and noticed that people arrive to shows in the midst of a sea of distraction. The crowds are noisy and intoxicated, the seating can be uncomfortable, the people in front of you stand up and block the view, speakers fade in your section, and there are distractions aplenty that separate you from the magick of the sound and experience as a whole. Many people enjoy moments of concerts in between the distractions, believing that this is the best experience available to them.

We have developed a performance that has resolved all of these problems…

Enter the Stargate is a 90 minute frequency experience that creates an intimate setting with exotic instruments, voice, and the frequencies that they produce.

Everyone is given their own personal & comfortable space on a yoga mat/ chair
You enter a clean atmosphere of relaxation with candles & natural scents where hydration and sobriety are encouraged
You are led through a dynamic stretching routine causing the body to be open & receptive
You are then guided through an intensive breathwork designed to elicit a heightened state of awareness
13+ exotic instruments are played, (some directly over your body.)

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Music is an art of the moment. It exists within the void between time & space, then vanishes without a trace yet it’s effect on us is profound, personal, and physiological. We utilize 13+ exotic instruments and a device called, “The Dream Machine” combined with audience participated yoga & breathing techniques to produce lasting moments of profound & deep connection with sound without interference or interruption resulting in an attunement with their natural frequencies. We are proud to bring those in attendance into a state of deep listening with the use of real instruments, (instead of sampled and synthesized sounds) creating a unique & immersive experience that elicits within them an alpha brain wave state.

Through years of experience within the worlds of music and visual art, we have come together to create something that is simultaneously both and yet neither of those methods of expression. The similitude of a dream where all things are possible. Comforting yet mysterious like the onset of a thunderstorm.

Our journey through the trials and tests of success in music is as easy as walking a yak up the steep steps of a pyramid. We’ve learned to feed the yak with fresh milk and honey and to pet it so that it continues to carry our many instruments toward the capstone of our vision.

There is an ancient story that lives within our bones… When you close your eyes in darkness and submerge yourself in atavistic frequencies you can hear it like a wave that passes through a seashell and if you listen… Truly listen… You can remember your infinite nature.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Daily sunrise on the beach is a must here on the East coast of Florida. It’s a truly restorative and breath-taking experience that sets the day for success. There are many beautiful gardens such as The Morikami Museum and Mount’s Botanical Gardens that provide a sanctuary amongst the hustle and bustle of South Florida. Luckily we are at no loss for amazing places to eat, being blessed with many highly acclaimed chefs like Jessie Steele, Dan Dore, Suzanne Perotto, and Tuan Tran as well as more traditional ethnic fare like La Bendicion Guatemalan restaurant, Pho 79, and El Ranchito. Don’t forget a quick stop at Rorabek’s Farmer’s Market for fresh local veggies, meat, and fruit, followed by a stop at Coffee District for a pick me up before, a poke session at Vatican tattoo studio!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We draw upon a wide variety of inspirations within the realms of music, science, spirituality, and art. Groups such as Heilung, Melody Gardot, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, and even Dio are not only visually stunning but also extremely sonically captivating. Authors like Kahlil Gibran, Donald Michael kraig, and Manly P. Hall have created a depth of simplicity in the etheric understanding of life. The ever expanding field of science has been elevated by such researchers as Matsuro Emoto, Whim hoff, James Nestor, Dr. Royal Rife, Terrence McKenna, Stanislav Grof, and Brion Gysin. These and many more have influenced us immensely and continue to inspire us to create art in all forms.
