EARTH MOON EARTH

Shortly after opening Gatos Trail in 2015 I started a musical collective called Earth Moon Earth, with the idea that I could invite friends over to experiment and get creative without any expectations, limits or studio time constraints. Basically be free to create without any pressure. The experiment continued in January 2020 but this time with a 3 day, free form jam session having nothing prepared in advance.

We came away with about 35 usable jams that are currently being transformed into the next Earth Moon Earth record (maybe double record). The thing I like most about this project and about this process is that we all get to explore our own musicality and let it go where it goes without trying to force any specific genre or category. I think its fair to say we are genre-neutral, but with our common musical tastes coming through there’s still a cohesive sound. Its great to converge in Joshua Tree (Yucca Valley to be exact) with amazing friends to create and hang out. I look forward to our next session and I’ll be sure to let you know when the record from this session is released. - Dan Joeright (Gatos Trail Studio owner, Earth Moon Earth founder).
