Aligning Minds is the collaboration of two US based producers, Daniel Merrill and Michael Folk. Ethereal and dubby, uplifting and haunting, their music winds its way through the imaginative souls of its listeners, offering a deep exploration of subsonic mood and emotional atmosphere.

Although this is their debut album, Aligning Minds are certainly not newcomers to putting out quality electronic music. In fact, they have performed with and remixed many major artists in the electronic music scene. This album "Universal Automation" is the audible culmination of many years of like-minded collaboration between these two forward thinking musicians. The music contained on this album showcases the evolution of sonic communication between two friends, while serving to reflect on a singular concept:

Universal Automation

In other words, the notion that their music does not come from them, but is channeled through them by intuitive universal design. In their lives, this music was a gift from the ether that served as a mechanism forlearning, growth and healing reflection. It has served them well in this endeavor and they hope it will do the same for you, the listener.
