The
story behind the
Burning Man Soundscapes
soundtrack album
"Anyone
may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No
prerequisites exist for participation in our community... Burning Man
is radically inclusive, and its meaning is potentially accessible to anyone."
- Guiding Principles of Burning Man
"Burning Man Soundscapes is my way of participating in the
celebration. It is my gift to an ongoing event that has always seemed
cinematic in scope yet as intimate as the molecules that vibrate to form
sound."
- Scott G (The G-Man)
P.S. My parents and I were on Baker Beach in 1986 when Larry Harvey and Jerry James led the first burn. A group of 20 people quickly became 40 as the flames licked the sky. We were too far away to be called participants, but we were affected by it all the same. Whether the ceremony is held at Baker Beach or on the Playa in Nevada, I have been there in spirit many times.
