Mayan Ruins (live debut~9/24/2006) usually perform with Tribal dancers in unusual venues like churches (deconsecrated & otherwise) Masonic temples & outdoor pagan festivals as well as taverns, coffeehouses & a teahouse. Our sound incorporates psychedelic, gothic, shamanic, middle eastern & asian influences.

We are strictly improvisational & record most of our shows (see tracks 6 & 7) & our studio pieces are also improvised, round-robin style, with each player adding his/her layer over those previously recorded. ASTRAL VIOLET is a hybrid-Zachary J. Mechlem''s Hindi style resonator guitar was recorded live at a performance, isolated & the other parts were laid in around it. Derek Garteiz is the engineering wizard who records it all, mixes it down (often dub style, dropping instruments in & out) & Christian does the final mastering.
