Huey Daze is an instrumental project that focuses on finding synchronicity between music and nature. Being raised in a Shinto household meant that everything - mountains, rivers, places, animals, people - possess a spiritual essence or energy ("kami"). It is from this Japanese belief system that he crafts his music: "Sometimes I'm not even thinking when I'm putting songs together; it just comes naturally through me." says Huey. "I'm just a conduit for the music to pass through, removing myself and this natural tendency to insert ourselves unnecessarily into the music. Once we learn to remove our egos and realize that ideas come from somewhere deeper (Carl Jung referred to this as the collective unconscious) - only then can we tap into the universal truth we all share and make honest music." ""Solaris" is the name of a film I really like by Andrei Tarkovsky," says Huey. "He uses many extended shots of nature and its sounds in his films; I always admired his sensibilities. The balance and harmony found in nature is what I'd like my music to achieve."
