About Me

Ahltyrra~ "Alternate Levels of Light"

We present an expansive excursion through
honest emotion, provocative thought, and vibration.
Jazz, Blues, Ambient, Rock, World, Tribal and even Techno
will find themselves represented within our journey.
Unity through Diversity!

No human exists within a solitary emotional state
and neither do we!
We are not
happy or sad, pensive or effusive, angry or peaceful
romantic or reclusive, depressed or ecstatic.
We are
All these things and so are you!
A little higher, a little higher, a little higher...

Live as you will
but
Live well,
Live truly,
Live heartily...
and dance through the spectrum with us!
