Filmed at the site of the 2020 Dome Fire in the Mojave Desert, this video takes us on a journey of desolation and climate devastation — “this is a fine day to see what we’ve left behind” — while ultimately challenging us with the hardest task of all: hope.
I set out to fall in love with this place. These beloved lands. Even the pulse of wild nature in my own veins. I began writing the title song in 2013, as its theme beckoned me to trace my roots back to the natural world from which I came…
“Their latest album “From The Wild” brings us back to a lost, primal world. Painting guttural pictures of the severed connection between creation and the civilized and yet beckoning the heart to reconciliation with nature.”
It might seem cliche, but it’s true: I pursued the creative path because it pursued me. Sure, I was looking for something – a sense of meaning and purpose or even a career – but the answer, in the form of my singing voice, surprised even me…
““From The Wild” is a stunning album, which feels like something coming to us from another moment in time. There is an ancestral quality to the music, which makes it incredibly deep and inspiring. What does it feel like to be a stalwart for this timeless sound in a world that’s so frantic and fast-paced?”
Painting landscapes with melody and rhythm, Ariana Saraha (vocals, percussion) and Fernando Medina (drums, percussion) have created a sonic world that pays homage to the more-than-human-world — the tumultuous undertow, raindrops hitting swaying trees…
Ariana Saraha is a singer & musician from the wilds of the West with a passion for primordial beauty and the more-than-human world. Whether writing, singing, or drumming, her mission is to invite us to remember our place beyond the trappings of civilization and the accepted meanderings of the mundane mind. She and her band have just released From the Wild, and are working on their next album while continuing to find wonder and inspiration even in the everyday.
