Upper Valley Psychedelic Continuum

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Welcome to the myspace page for The Upper Valley Psychedelic Continuum. We are a group of dedicated musicians who create and freely share our psychedelic instrumental music with everyone who cares to listen. It is our sincere aim and dearest hope that our music will take you to a happy place and perhaps expand your consciousness.
Music, of course, was the primal sound that created the Universe we are currently in, as well as the infinite manifestations that doubtless exist. There are 7 tones of the fundamental musical scale; there are 7 Rays that Sustain Existence. A mere coincidence, or is it the order & harmony behind creation itself?
Stay just a little while if you can and enjoy our brief offerings of sound & spirit. New recordings are posted as they are created, and announced through our blog. If you wish to hear any of the older recordings, please visit our archives at lastfm.com--there you will find all of our releases in downloadable format, including tracks never released here at myspace.
