★ Artist = David Satori
David Satori is a musical adventurer. Born in Burlington VT, David was inspired by the rich local music scene and started playing guitar and drums at the age of 13. David produced his first original album with his band Bubble Tribe in 1997 as a senior in high school and went on to study music at CalArts in Los Angeles, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Composition and Performance in 2001.
After college David bought an aging airport shuttle bus, converted it to run on vegetable oil and toured the US with his bands The Funnies, a four piece space funk band, and Aphrodesia, a female fronted futuristic Afrobeat big band from San Francisco. David also co-founded and produced events with The Sustainable Living Roadshow, a traveling eco festival. In 2006 David helped organize a month long West African Tour with Aphrodesia and the African Showboyz from Ghana, which culminated in twonights at the legendary Shrine in Lagos, Nigeria, the musical home of Femi Kuti, son of Fela Kuti.
After returning from West Africa David committed torecording with Beats Antique, a trio born in the San Francisco performance underground, Burning Man and West Coast Bass music scenes. Beats Antique soon became an international touring production and has released over 10 albums in 12 years, all written and produced by the band. On a parallel track toBeats Antique David pursued a recording project with his long-time bandmate and friend Evan Fraser, which evolved into Dirtwire, now a trio with the addition of Mark Revely, that tours internationally and has released 9 albums.
Recently David has been inspired to spread his knowledge of the music business and production to people eager to learn through workshops known as“David Satori’s Musical Adventures”. David employs a unique format, taking people on a journey through his creative process using the Ableton Live softwareto compose music. The workshops are interactive and inclusive and encourage participation in the creation of an original piece of music. The session recording and Ableton file is then shared with the participants for them to remix or adapt for future releases.
David is also involved with a nonprofit organization in Asheville NC, which is part of LEAF International,called “One Mic”. This project builds micro recording studios in under-resourced places around the world One Mic’s goal is to uplift youth in all parts of the world by giving them a voice and helping to amplify their message through the art of recording and production.
David Satori feels strongly that music is a healing medicine, that those who wish to become more musical should do so and that by doing so they will spread the healing vibrations. David encourageseach of us to travel courageously and curiously into our passions and to spread the love of music wherever and whenever we can.

The Dance
Ecstatic Dance is a free form dance meditation that encourages you to express oneself through movement with the support of an intentionally curated musical journey. The 'ecstatic' aspect refers to spontaneous and unrestrained movement, without concern for the aesthetics of the dance. By allowing ourselves to freely dance, we can express emotion and release stress, tension or emotions stored in our bodies. Ecstatic Dance provides a safe space to embark on a journey designed to encourage deeper connection with ourselves and others. Interaction and connection on the dance floor is encouraged. When desiring to dance with another, we are mindful, sensitive and slow, listening for their body’s “YES.” Some invitations are: mirroring their dance moves, offering a hand, making eye contact and smiling. If they turn away or offer prayer hands in front of their heart, this is their “NO.” There is no rejection, only an honoring of ourselves and each other. We don’t make someone’s no about us, instead redirecting ourselves and continuing to dance. If someone isn’t listening to your no, being inappropriate or causing you to feel uncomfortable, please tell someone on the BED team immediately.
Principles and Values of Space:
- Drug and alcohol free
- Sacred dance floor.
- Judgment and expectation-free zone with full inclusivity.
- Encouraging the practice of attunement to self, your physical space & other dancers.
- Full permission to feel, express and embody your emotions.
- Respectful honoring of your own and other dancer’s boundaries and personal space
- Focused on-verbal connection (no talking)
- Consensual. If it’s not a clear yes, it’s a no.
- Free of phones and cameras in the dance space. In other areas, keep them off or in airplane mode.
- Free of heavy perfumes or oils. Please practice body hygiene when you come to dance.
- Free of shoes
