Ashes and Echoes — Songs from the Playa

Stories from Fire and Steel.

Recorded in the glow of Black Rock City, this album blends roots-folk guitars, sunrise electronics, and spoken-word fragments from the playa. Every track is a snapshot of the burn: camp crews, temple quiet, art-car chaos, and radical generosity.

Album Details

Release date: August 15, 2025 · Label: Mycal Music · Genres: Folk, Electronic, Burning Man

The songs were written while welding art cars and sweeping dust from tent zippers. They’re made to be played through camp speakers, headphones on the esplanade, or a sunrise climb up a scaffold tower.
