Primeval is Vashava's second full length compilation album, comprised of eight original solo compositions encapsulating 51 minutes of deeply transcendent music. The essential theme of the album, "primeval," was embraced by Vashava not only throughout the creative process for Primeval, but during the past 20 years he has existed as a Jain ascetic. Vashava delved deeply into the use of psychedelics during the composition, performance and recording phases for this album.

Those substances, along with Vashava's practice of Jain mysticism as revealed through his life as a Jain ascetic, enabled Vashava to enter into a deeply transendental state, wherein he merged with the primordial origins of our universe. While engaged with this alternative reality, Vashava directed his creative energies to create music connecting with the primeval underpinnings of our existence. Vashava communicates the very nature of the primeval universe via multiple genres, including aboriginal, psychedelic, the blues, techno and folk. Vashava is delighted to share with you his journey into the center of the universe.

Vashava graciously acknowledges the invaluable contributions of his producer, Mark Kaeder of Falcon Studios (Portland OR). Without Mark's insightful guidance, Vashava would never have matriculated into such an accomplished studio artist.

"Primeval," the album, is hereby dedicated to Danny Frank, fisherman/guide extraordinaire, and his vaunted guild at Delta Trout Force (DTF). Without Mr. Frank and his DTF posse, Vashava would not have survived long enough to have recorded Primeval, much less any of his other music. Danny Frank is the man, hands down!
