For the Next Seven Generations
 

This is music. This is prayer. This is healing. This is reverence. This is now. This is something to get you out of bed in the morning, or, keep you up all night. Nonetheless, it is music for the here and now, and, more importantly, for next seven generations, created, mixed, and produced through a global collaboration.
 

The music here includes works, used with intent, consent, and passion by independent musicians, dj's, producers, and artists extraordinaire. Our collective sounds are experimental, medicinal, electronic, electro, techno, glitch, glitchtro (whatever that could be), psytriip, psychadelic-electronic, dnb, and, even ambient—at times.  This is a group effort that was spawned as a brain child of Shelly and Devlin of TTwinz,  and became something beautiful.

Intentions:

This is a blessing and ceremony for the forest, ocean, and inhabitants, with the intention of healing ourselves, our cells, while laying the groundwork for the next seven generations.  The unifying message is honoring the earth, honoring ourselves, promoting mindfulness, presence, truth, and curiousity with respect for those wanting respect, worthy of respect, and asking for respect.  

 

Our music, collectively and individually, tells our own stories. Gives us a chance to share our perspectives, interpretations. For some, it is a way of healing, for others, an escape. Who can really say for sure what one thing means to another, except for the individual. But one thing that can be ascertained is that our music is really, really good. It also gives a voice to those who are silenced, the survivors, the truth seekers, the free, and those who live in and amongst the shadows of oppression.

Music is truth.

Bless the truth tellers. Bless those who try.

 

But who is Ttwinz? I thought this was Shelly's home page: Yes, this is Shelly's artist website, but since you asked, Shelly Truman and Devlin Dudley, of TTwinz, are producers of experimental electronic, IDM, ambient, minimal techno and artists who use their talents in video and documentary photography for telling stories that matter and based in Port Townsend, WA. Sound is art. Sound is life. Sound is the here and now—that’s our general mantra. Devlin is father of two amazing children as is Shelly. They both believe in the pursuit of justice, truth, and love. If you're nice to us, we might invite you to our wedding. Shelly's visual art and other media, including her bragging rights can be found on the sub pages.

 

But what do they actually do?  We produce art that promotes awareness, mindfulness, builds community, and hopefully drives positive change. Our music is sometimes melodic, other times dissonant, and always deep, coming from a place of integrity. As our music making has been accelerating, we have become prolific in our production and releases. Our new albums, with new video in the works, are out on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube Music, and all major streaming platforms.  We have exciting new collaborations going on and want to keep this momentum going! Music is the sound that shapes the silences in our minds and bodies, helps us heal, keeps us strong, present, and grounded. Your support will help us greatly and we appreciate it.

There is a button on the page, and the social media links down there should eventually get through to one of us.

 

Shelly and Devlin are based near Seattle and we are open to gigs. We need the practice getting out of our comfort zone, because Burning Man 2025 is on the horizon and it's looking like it's going to be awesome.
