Currently in his fifth year offering weekly Sunday sound meditations at Meditation Mount, Jim creates immersive experiences using Fusion Sitar, Tibetan singing bowls, guitar with electric bow, Koshi chimes, gong, and other healing instruments.

In this album, Suburbanoid employs his world orchestra of organic instruments to create his peaceful, meditative music. This includes Tibetan Singing Bowls, a fusion sitar from India, a Baglama from Turkey, a gong from Italy, Koshi chimes from France, a Kalimba from Africa, an electric guitar, Ebow, ocean drum, buffalo drum and crystal singing bowls from the USA, as well as a 12-string acoustic guitar from Canada, a synthesizer from the UK, among other exceptional instruments. Furthermore, the album features glossolalia vocal styles and chants performed by Helia and Suburbanoid, (representing the divine feminine and masculine). Glossolalia -vocalizations that sound like language but lack conventional meaning, used for spiritual expression (singing in tongues) or as a compositional technique to explore pure sound and emotion.
