Charleston Samu Rii Marquis

Voice of Soil is Charleston Samu Rii Marquis, dancer, choreographer, and master bodyworker specializing in the Pilates Method, who calls his music “Physical Music” – music destined for the mind via the neurobiological pathways of the body. This idea is based on the “onion concept of music,” which explores the interrelationship of layers within the musical matrix, each guiding the listener into deeper sensual awareness. It is a polyphony of syncopated rhythms – an organized, multi-layered sound system transporting the listener to a place where music is sound, sound is vibration, vibrations are waves, and waves are crystallized energetic information enhancing well-being. I am not a musician in the usual sense – I am a “groove architect.” My body is my instrument. A groove architect creates music that makes you sway and feel embraced by the sound. My music connects the heart to the brain via the vagus nerve, bypassing cognitive processing.
