| abstract | - Contents 1 The Begining 2 The Pre-Text 3 The Catalyst 4 The Tools 5 The Present The Beginning A Thousand Cranes is a music collaborative formed in Houston, Texas. The two founding members of A Thousand Cranes are Travis Kerschen (Vocals and general Tom Foolery) and Shawn Rameshwar (Noise, drones, and darkend cynicism).Travis Kerschen previously contributed his musical abilities while on tour with Indian Jewerly. While Shawn Rameshwar was previously apart of various non-mainstream independent groups in and around Houston Texas. The Pre-Text Both members shared a common bond by way of a mutual appreciation for Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane. They continued into the light with a mutually agreed upon vision that A Thousand Cranes be grounded in the sacred, experimental, jazz, and noise influences they shared. The Catalyst With a grounding in the sacred, jazz, and noise influeces shared by both members A Thousand Cranes set out to discover avenues to the induction of meditation as a means to pull their audiences into the vortex of shared human experience. This lofty ambition has manifested itself in the use of generally accepted and imprinted modalities of the human psyche in an attempt to facillitate the divergence of time and space with the simultaneous convergence of humanity with the divine, all within the context of a sacred performance piece. The Tools A Thousand Cranes intends the utilization of universally imprinted archetypes of the human psyche (e.g. fire, drones, chanting, meditation, love, and sex) will offer their audiences a common ground and recognizable pathways to rationalise the abandonment of their own perception of reality and the inherent dogmatic noose consensual reality creates around the neck of man. The Present A Thousand Cranes is currently experimenting with conceptulization processes and tinkering with their inability to love themselves while simultaneously placing side bets with the devil and playing concerts as a prelude to recording their upcoming album Cheap Gold which is promised to be cheaper that Indian Jewerly's Free Gold. external links
