El Bawaba Lodge and Luxury Retreat

01/09/2025

Inspired by the first Sekhmet statue TUUDI caught a glimpse of as a child travelling Egypt, The Return of The Goddess Soundscape is a 15 minute piece of work curated through balancing a series of hand-selected synths, manipulated organic sound and original sound designs emulating a balance between softness and strength. Its purpose is to invoke and release emotion, aid in your personal meditation work, or simply to be enjoyed in silence.

Behind the track:

A piano composition recorded on a Yamaha SU118 with vocals from a Philips EL3782/00 vintage desk microphone, a series of selected and original sound design, and layers of digitally manipulated samples.

The maximum duration of totality will be observed in Egypt, approximately 37 miles (60 km) southeast of Luxor, and will last 6 minutes and 22 seconds. A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Monday, August 2, 2027, with a magnitude of 1.079. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moonpasses between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s apparent diameter is larger than the Sun’s, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth’s surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring about 2.5 hours before perigee (on August 2, 2027, at 7:25 UTC), the Moon’s apparent diameter will be larger. https://traceyash.com/tours/calling-the-goddess-2075
