100 % improvised music.

“Desert Chase” is the 7th release from our group now known as Portizar.

In accordance with the prime objective to abandon the egoic mind and surrender into the sublime matrix of the eternal divine network. Portizar is a sonic portrayal of the Hero’s Journey, to courageously walk the musical path with absolute improvisational flow. Beyond the boundaries of a safe, secure and controlling mind. Join us as we ride the ecstatic explosion of spontaneous musicality and chase the divine into the desert of unknown possibility.

The guests for these sessions are:

All Portizar “inner circle” members – Aaron Wills, Davey Chegwidden, Nico Borromeo & Dana Anderson

The earliest tracks on this album are “Wazzup” & “The Hidden Greek”. Both pieces came from GregJam 61 (Tracks 1 & 5 respectively) and were recorded on October 7, 2016 with our brothers Aaron & Davey.

Dana joined us for the aptly named “Return of Dana” on GregJam 90 Track 1 recorded January 4, 2018.
