About East Forest

East Forest is a musician, producer, and ceremony guide who uses the power of music to help explore the uncharted territories of inner space. His live improvisational performances draw on original field recordings and a range of instrumentation that straddles the worlds of electro-acoustic neoclassical, electronic, ambient and indie-pop. Releases have appeared on Bright Antenna, Domino, Mercury KX, Tender Loving Empire, and Ghostly. East Forest's latest project, the documentary "Music for Mushrooms," explores the transformative potential of psychedelics, music, and community in addressing global crises. The documentary serves as both a personal memoir and a visionary roadmap for collective healing and evolution, embodying the qualities of wholeness and integration it explores. Since his debut in 2008, notable collaborators include Ram Dass, Jon Hopkins, Nick Mulvey, Peter Broderick, Duncan Trussell, Marieme, and techno pioneer ANNA. East Forest hosts the “Ten Laws Laws Podcast” where he talks with thought leaders across a range of topics including health, technology, and spiritual practices. He regularly leads retreats, and his thought leadership, guided meditations, and music have been included in research and special projects with UCSF Neurosciences, Google, Johns Hopkins Neuroaesthetics, TEDx, Stanford d.school, Naropa, SXSW and Yale.
