Album Out Now

Download or Listen

In 'Sapphire', Marya Stark collaborates with producer and composer Joshua Penman of Akara to create a mystical, lush, and enveloping sound. Penman's arrangements of Stark’s songs (two of them co-composed) weaves themes of Mystical Love, Ecstatic Grief, Glacier Melt, and the Return of Divine Feminine Wisdom into a beautiful story arch. 

Stark’s tight choral harmonies against Penman’s warm and detailed backdrop of real chamber strings, world instruments, acoustic guitar, analog synths, digital production, found sounds, world percussion, and drums creates a mythological frequency that opens the heart.“

🔹  A Vision From The Stone 🔹 

From the pulsing truth-light of a waking dream, a Sapphire sphere revels herself, alive with a transmission of ecstatic remembrance. Carrying a prayer from a world where reverence and magic remains intact, Sapphire delivers her essence and message to the heart. She is held as a time capsule of medicine for lifetimes inside the Glacier Deva’s memory of the original songs of earth. She waits patiently to release a symphonic blanket of velvet peace for when the hearts of the people are in most need of restoration. 

When the time comes, the thawing of the glaciers release the sounds of life-giving nectars, formed within the earth first rhapsodic movements. These sound prayers, untouched by the fear and deprivation in the trappings of the human mind, awaken the Sapphire light within the collective soul, returning clarity and balance to the waters of life.

As the grief of ages flow, and tears fall to the parched earth, the smell of the blood of the stone revives in the memory of the people the will to thrive. The thawing of the frozen heart of humanity unfurls to feel fully the echoes of ancestral reckoning, mourn the untouchable disparities, and recollect the soul fragments suspended in the halls time.

The return of the Sapphire light within awakens
A revelation of a naturally arising fountain of miracles
Ushering in a return to balanced Bliss-Wisdom
To support all beings in living integrally with the Nature Muses of Earth.
