Listen to the track on Robot Heart SoundCloud: / lee_burridge_robot_heart_burning_man_2024 For pretty much the whole year I’m either headed towards or away from Burning Man. Each year out there there’s this moment in space and time where I feel perfectly balanced between the two. It’s a moment where time stands still, just for a second. That moment is when the first ember of the day’s sun peaks over the mountain top to begin its journey once more. I try to find a piece of music to express the feeling of stillness and presence I get. This year the sun was kind enough to arrive 1 hour 28 minutes and 40 seconds into this mix. I was in awe. I’m still in awe. Some of the magic of the playa for me is where the nature blends with boundless creativity. Where love meets wonder and we get to laugh, dance and play. Add a dash of music for good measure and, for a moment, that magic catches its breath to take it all in, and stands still. 2024 was one of my favorite years ever. Thank you to all you artists and lovers, cooks and cuddlers. To all those who toil for months before and after to make it happen and to anyone who gave anything to another. You’re all amazing. I’m currently headed back towards (or is it away from) that moment once more. Photo Credit: Christian Lamb Drone Footage: Nathan McBride Editors: Gabriel Alcântara and Mia Escaip
