Moon's bio   Primal Path is a musical journey of healing "to the Underworld and back." The music features orchestral, live and synthesized instruments, sweet melodies, flowing rhythms, and the haunting and powerful ancestral voice of Moon, a modern day medicine man whose chanting and singing-in-tongues awakens ancient memories.
 
Primal Path will take you on a unique journey through some amazing, sometimes scary, sometimes intense, often joyous uplifting places. It begins with the pain and fear of our wounds. Finding the courage to open those wounds, then seeking counsel and guidance, the journey enters into the Underworld (a magnificent place within the Unconscious). Within the Underworld lies opportunity to walk the Path, meet the Old Man and sit with the Soul in its temple. Deciding to heal and to change we die to our pain and to our past. Through the peace of the night, gathering the strength to come Home, we are different, changed, and we receive the Naming.

Also featured on the album are Christa Terra, acoustic grand piano on Temple of the Soul and Lisa Gardner, vocals on The Naming.

Praise for Primal Path...

Though it is wordless, Primal Path speaks of healing old wounds, of facing the Dark Self and emerging wiser and stronger. This is not a head-in-the-clouds New Age plateau; this is the voice of raw spirit, as old as the earth itself. Moon chants in a tongue that sounds Native American, but is in fact the nameless language of deep cosmic trance. His glossolalia expresses what words cannot, stoking the fires of the soul- and when the heat threatens to scorch, Dorsa's melodies cool and soothe, gently breathing ancient wisdom into our ears and reminding each of us of our own place on the Path.

Primal Path is truly transformatory...it sends me and touches my heart whenever I hear it. Wells of tears just come to my eyes every time. Thank you for this gift to the planet.

My wife and I recently experienced the remarkable and beautiful Primal Path. It certainly touches the soul, mind, and body in a very deep way. I am sure we will be listening to it again and again, and receiving much enjoyment and benefit.

Every time I listen to the incredibly beautiful album of Primal Path, my Soul and Spirit soar into the healing realms within myself. Marc's profound album accompanies me, as well as guides me, to my own healing destiny, which leads me to my own tears of sorrow and then delivers me to my own tears of joy. An absolutely heartfelt and moving masterpiece which is for anyone who not only loves wonderful music but who is courageous enough to free themselves from their pain. I salute you!

Primal Path is musical synthesis by Marc Dorsa featuring the voice of Moon, a medicine man. If you are looking for New Age elevator music, this isn’t it. If you want a guided visualization which will lead you into your deepest wounds and out the other side, this could be it!
    Please, don’t listen to this CD while you are driving your car. You could find yourself driving right off the road. Take the time to sit, fully present, and allow these sounds to carry you into yourself. The music is complex enough for the mind to become removed from its familiar groove leaving you free to be carried along as Moon’s voice resonates into your wounded parts.
    Moon is chanting and toning the language of healing. This chanting creates a sympathetic vibration within the willing listener. Like a laser it penetrates into the part of the listener which shares the vibration of the particular pain or issue being explored. At times like a dentist’s drill, the sounds are sometimes more therapeutic than pleasant. But then, how often do you have a chance to do deep healing alone, on your own schedule? And you can return again and again!
    As one releases deeply held pain, thoughtfully scored music carries one even deeper, then buoys one home to the beauty and peace where they belong. There is so much material here that it might be wise to listen to only a few "songs" at a time. It is overwhelming to try and work through it all at once. I send my congratulations to the producer and artists on bringing this gift of love into the world.
