Empyrean Beat

"Empyrean Beat" is the third installment in the Trance series, created again for the gang at the Dallas Flaggers' Weekend, held every summer in Dallas, TX. The artwork for "Empyrean Beat" is once again courtesy of Phillip Bryan, who's tie-died flags are a wonder! There are four different flags represented in the set artwork, created a few years ago for some shows he did in Thailand. Phillip notes the impetus for these designs was an effort "to create a design that conveys dimensionality, a volume that normally doesn't come across with tie-dye." I would say he succeeded without a doubt. "Stacked Pride," is the design behind this set's title card. Three others, used for individual tracks, were offshoots of the work that went into "Stacked Pride;" Phillip named them "Woven," "Stacked," and "Honeycomb." The most amazing thing to me about these flag patterns is they were created sheerly with tie-dye methodologies! "Empyrean Beat," is likewise an effort to take you on a journey through the Empyrean fields themselves, and right into the halls of mythology. With songs ranging from progressive to euphoric, this set should help you ascend to the heights Olympus itself, and sit at Zeus' right hand as the feast of Dionysius is laid before you. After all, even the Gods need a soundtrack!
