Creativity is your innate “super power”
When we were children we took every opportunity to be playful or creative. No fear… I didn’t matter if it was “good enough”. What mattered was that it was fun! As we age, we go to great lengths to avoid looking foolish or feel incompetent. So we stick to what we are good at. When we de-prioritize creativity, we not only miss out on innovation, we also miss out on the fun, play, and joy that we are meant to experience in this life.
Creative expression reduces stress a. And improves our quality of life. It helps us access subtle thoughts and emotions, which makes it a cathartic means of self exploration.
Luckily, we can forge an opening to rediscover creative play through tools for mindfulness. The intention is not to create a masterpiece, but to enjoy the process. To embrace a state of curiosity and wonder.Kaiya Sunrise is now streaming everywhere!Prismatic Mantis2021-09-03 | Listen now 😃🙏🏼🧡 distrokid.com/hyperfollow/prismaticmantis/kaiya-sunriseI didnt plan on taking 5 years to finish this song... | Prismatic Mantis InterviewPrismatic Mantis2021-08-25 | Making Music with Intention | Prismatic Mantis Interview on his new single "Kaiya Sunrise"

Single ‘Return to Sender’ was released digitally on Saturday November 16, 2019.
‘Return to Sender’ lyrics:
Where will you go rest in Peace? We all are just walking each other home. Beyond your strife, you admit and say because I love life, I shall love Death as well.
The secret is to die before you die. Death melts away all that is not really you. You are the one whose dancing on both sides. That which you really are will never die.
‘Cause you’re definitely gonna die. Just think of all the worlds you’ll see when you fly. The curiosity where you’ll go when you die; ‘Cause you’re definitely gonna die.
With a history as diverse as his catalog’s sound, Prismatic Mantis’ open, adventurous and uplifting spirit continues to inspire now with his latest offering, “Return To Sender.” The first of three connected singles exploring birth, death, and the beyond, “Return To Sender” represents the second, offering the listener strength in the face of the end. With a brilliant fusion of jazz and pop set amidst whirring, bristling electronics, “Return To Sender” is an exhilarating experience with a message to life and live it to its fullest and to befriend death as an ally, not an unconscious fear.

These interesting times reveal to us a unique opportunity to dive within to our own creativity and self-exploration. How you decide to spend this extra time and solitude during quarantine is completely up to you.
A journey without distance. An adventure often missed, into your own genius. You are your own canvas.
This creative project all started with the handpan, a unique instrument birthed from a subset of the steel drum. I felt inspired to turn a simple melody into this whole song. The lyrics were specifically written to help us stay inspired in these interesting times during quarantine. Produced, Filmed, and Recorded during my quarantined "Artist in Residency" the Bay Area, California.
Submission for The Music Relief Fund Project. Curated by @motherwolfofficial and @jazzmafiaofficial
If you are not your mind then who is listening? Take a breath, unwind into Infinity. Drop in and rewind and have a cuppa tea. I hope you know we’ll find what we’re meant to see. For all the coming days of futures so unknown, until the moments phased I’m on the telephone. I’m on the forest floor. I’m climbin’ up the trees, through the open door of possibility. Be not afraid my love; there is no room in us for fear to have its way, Love has no enemy. But if you only knew, how rare you are, its true. I feel it yes I do; It is my gift to you.
No matter where you live, no matter what time zone, these times we all are One. The whole world is at home. Earth sent us to our rooms to think bout what we’ve done. Now got my work on Zoom, sport coat but sweatpants on. The planet’s on display to our friends far away. Eucalyptus and sage candles on autoplay. Attempting mastery of fear’s a useless tool. Instead reality and Truth we’ll tune into. Simple existence. Journey without Distance. Artist in residence. Feelin’ our own essence.

From my heart to yours, Mark Reynolds ~ paypal.me/PrismaticMantisCanopy Trail - Prismatic Mantis // [ELIXIR EP]Prismatic Mantis2018-01-02 | Yup, this is the surprise music video for you...
I had so much fun making this video. It was made in the beautifully damp moss-covered Redwood forest in Arcata, California and around the vistas of San Francisco. This song is about the redwood trees. I wrote it several years ago after my first experience in Muir Woods.
This music of this album has transcended time, space, and sound along the years of creating it. I have been astounded by the things that fell into place along with the things that required a lot of effort.
Hard work and synchronicity is usually how it happens.... and this album is no exception.
It's amazing how this music makes me feel. I have given it full spectrum from sparkling highs to a grounded deep sub bass. It resonates me into a space where all my worries and pain seems to melt away. I get so inspired to create music like this and I am thrilled for you to be able to have it and experience this for yourself super soon.
A little background:
In March 2015 I went hiking through Muir Woods I remember that day well.. It started with a Gluten Free Smoked Salmon Waffle Stack here at Mill Valley's Equator.
I went to visit my friend Myra Melford, an awarded avant-garde jazz pianist and composer on UC Berkeley campus and discovered that she would be performing that night with world renowned tabla player and Bay Area resident, Zakir Hussain.
This free concert was a jazz ensemble masterclass and I would have to wait 6 hours. So of course, I waited. And while floating around the campus, I had my guitar and wrote this song "Canopy Trail".
There are many versions of this one song. We even fashioned it in a prog math-rock trio in 2015!
Prismatic Mantis at the Kings County Saloon in Brooklyn June 15th, 2015 with Bryan Kopchak (drums) and David Anderson (bass).
The version on the album is quite different and special however...
The whole album is just so different from anything I've ever made. If you've been following the emails up to this point, you get it and you could inform anyone tuning in that it came from a yoga class live music performance, straight from the back of the amp and then cut into highlights that were spliced together with overdubs of the remaining "orchestra" I heard in my head. I want you to have the whole thing, the whole vision...
It's going to be amazing and I'm so glad you're here with me to take this journey. People have told me its the most hardcore ambient music they ever heard. Somehow, it encapsulates the softest and heaviest music in one musical experience.
And in 7 days, the album will drop, and it's all yours.
Until then, Ill be playing around the heights and vistas of San Francisco!

From my heart to yours, Mark Reynolds ~ paypal.me/PrismaticMantisJohn McLaughlin and Jimmy Herring LIVE at the Warfield 12 8 17Prismatic Mantis2017-12-10 | John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra change my life. Here is a clip of "Be Happy" from the unbelievable show last night at the Warfield in San Francisco, CA. This track is from "Visions of the Emerald Beyond". I highly recommend checking out this album if you haven't already! Also check out my channel for more fusion stuff!
However! No need to worry... it's luckily a meteor of down-tempo polyrhythmic beat music. Cosmic grooves presented in a chill-out jazz mixtape format.
It's an wide angle of cool and interesting musical genres! What is also interesting is how this album came about...
Yoga Music. While this album is not for Yoga, its origin is from, just that.
How did this happen?
Instead of playing music in crowded & noisy bars late at night, I am either recording music at home or playing live music for yoga classes.
For two years, I played for the Dynamic Restorative Elixir Flow class at Vitality Yoga in New Paltz, NY.
I love the vibe of playing in yoga classes and have often recorded my performances. (this album recorded straight from the output of my Egnater tube amp)
In essence, I picked my favorite parts, which then became, "HIDE N SEEK".
Instead of the album just being guitar however, I heard a whole band in my head. I heard vocals, and keyboards, drums, soundscapes.
SO I did just that. I eagerly layered all of the sounds I was hearing in my head on top of this very 'Hide N Seek' recording.
Since I started this track, I found more and more layers that I wanted to add! More color, more diverse rhythms, better sound design, better dynamics, a wider instrumentation, etc, etc.
With not only technological difficulties, but also work that reflected my relation to message behind the music, I soon ran into some big setbacks that impacted the creation of how I was going to continue...
I still don't know how I got it together! but Ill try to explain it to you soon... Also, I will show you how the endless list of mixes I have of this album It's hilarious how many times I thought I was going to be done with this EP, only to find out there was unfinished business!
