Harvest is the outcome of a social experiment, filmed over the duration of two hours, designed to explore and capture one of the fundamental concepts behind the album Ascension; the transitioning between one plain of consciousness to another. With dance being one the most primitive forms of human behaviour, we created a musical environment that shifted between five notions. Orchestrated with the intention of removing each individual from their bodies, from time and from their conscious state of awareness, to a state of catharsis and transcendence, we documented the language of movement that became the immediate dialogue of their subconscious, and in turn, witnessed the collective ascension of the group to pass into an altered state; a higher frequency and dimension of being and energy.

We are delighted to announce the release of our debut album, Ascension with FatCat Records, is now available to pre-order on vinyl, CD and download here:

New Write Up
“It's not surprising to discover that they spent a year across Europe, having acquired a maturity that allows them to completely unpack in their music, which is posed, languorous, dark, but never teary, frozen or disturbing. On the contrary, there is always a certain intimate warmth, sometimes benevolent and mesmerizing, of this black and white music. A very nice duo which, I am sure, will receive all the light it deserves, especially on the scenes that should quickly welcome them with open arms. In contrast, listening to the headphones becomes a moving experience.”
The dialogue of the subconscious in a space shared by eight. Silence and sound bring the place beyond the horizon, beyond the cyan and the woodsmoke, beyond the amalgamation of beginnings and ends, beyond light and dark, joy and suffering. All placement and time, breath and movement woven into a single eternal knot through a psychological experiment of dance
An insight into something very special to be released from Samana very soon
Something Very Exciting Is Coming ...
There is HUGE news approaching
All will be revealed soon...
“In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. Every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche."
- Carl Jung
Can You Hear The Music?
Thank you to the French music blog ‘Can You Hear The Music?’ for the beautiful and insightful write up on our music.
“Samana has a rare power from other times, a seraphic atmosphere bordering on esotericism, a journey that evokes ancient beliefs, fallen civilizations where the gods were legions. It's an age-old album, carried by the aerial voices of Rebecca Rose Harris and Franklin Mockett, who oscillates between melancholic ballads and spiritual experiences”

Festival Faveurs de Printemps Line Up Announced
We’re really excited to be stepping into the heart of spring with our performance at Festival Faveurs de Printemps, in France, alongside talented musicians such as Jessica Pratt. Thank you to the for their words:
”Samana, which means "peace," opens an immediate path to inner essence with rare emotional honesty. Rebecca Rose Harris' surprisingly sober and connected voice and Franklin Mockett's full-bodied compositions make this introspective duo a real rough diamond to discover urgently.”
