Shaker Mountain is a community festival of musicians and dancers who gather annually in the Taconic Mountains of New York State. The first full day is devoted to live, often improvised, performances of ambient and experimental music. This concert takes place from noon to sunset and overlooks the ridge that the site sits upon. This compilation includes some of our favorite moments from these performances.
This compilation is donation based. Should you wish to pay, all proceeds will be donated to the Soul Fire Farm.
Located in Petersburg NY, Soul Fire is an inspiring organization that’s committed to ending racism and inequality in our food systems. The farm offers hands-on solutions through the integration of community organization and environmentally productive practices.
'We use Afro-indigenous agroforestry, silvopasture, wildcrafting, polyculture, and spiritual farming practices to regenerate 80 acres of mountainside land, producing fruits, plant medicine, pasture-raised livestock, honey, mushrooms, vegetables, and preserves for community provisioning, with the majority of the harvest provided to people living under food apartheid or impacted by state violence. Our ancestral farming practices increase topsoil depth, sequester soil carbon, and increase biodiversity. The buildings on the farm are hand-constructed, using local wood, adobe, straw bales, solar heat, and reclaimed materials. "
