64 Songs of Awakening
Volume 1: A living oracle of sound created by Rosy Aronson and StarBird Maricle.
About the Project
64 Songs of Awakening is a living oracle of sound created by Rosy Aronson and StarBird Maricle.
Through the universal language of voice, improvisation and deep listening, the project weaves sacred melodies, prayers and spontaneous vocal soundscapes into an intuitive tapestry of remembrance, unity and love. Many of the pieces began as simple improvisations — a voice, a piano phrase, a drum, or a remembered melody — and gradually unfolded through layering, collaboration and intuitive composition.
The songs move gently between cultures and traditions, honoring sacred melodies passed down through generations while allowing new forms to emerge. Each offering is guided by a deep intention to dissolve boundaries, honor ancestors, awaken ancestral wisdom, and celebrate the interconnectedness of all beings.
Each song in the series is inspired by one of the 64 Wisdom Keepers, or Faces of Awakening, from the Wisdom Keepers Oracle Deck created by Rosy Aronson. The names and archetypal frequencies of the Wisdom Keepers are inspired by the Gene Keys, a contemporary body of wisdom rooted in the ancient I Ching and brought into the world by poet and teacher Richard Rudd.
Many cultures, one heartbeat — affirming that we belong to one another, to the Earth, and to the love that sings through all things.

“What an incredible concept and design for a coloring book. The faces are widely varied from man to woman, young and old. They span many cultures and ethnicities. Each face then has numerous designs within to color. I was not familiar with the author's work before, but am intrigued by this book and can't wait to try my hand at decorating the designs.”
