In a world where we have become so used to over-saturation and immediate information, we wish to celebrate the spirit and wholesomeness of communication through consideration and time. As a result, we will be sharing unseen photographs, dreams, glimpses of connections and creations along the way, through our mailing list, delivered once a month, directly from us to you. We would love to share our journey with you, to have a sence of togetherness. In celebration of the Winter solstice and to show that we honour those who are a part of our world, we are gifting a cover of a very dear song to us both to all our mailing list subscribers.
'In Tune With The Infinite' November Tour
WOW! How incredibly beautiful and monumental this tour was for us! We were completely blown away by the support and to witness the reception for ‘The In Tune With The Infinite’ tour double in size in just four months! Words can’t quite express how deeply we are continually moved by the core connections and spiritual unity we received from you all. This collection of shows was profoundly magical, transcendental and affirming and we can’t express how excited we are to take this momentum forwards into 2025!
We’d like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude towards Pillow, James Osler, Fraser Bowles, Richard Jones and Alfie Weedon for taking the project to the celestial realms.
A huge thank you to all the venues we have worked with who have been nothing but accommodating. To Melting Vinyl for your support in Brighton and to all the brilliant photographers who captured such intimate images of the performances along the way Daisy Wingate Saul, Kaya Oatley and Weetthedee.
lastly and certainly by no means least we would like to thank Help Musicians from the bottom of our hearts for supporting this ambitious project and allowing us to fulfil our visions.
London Sold Out
London, what an evening! This sold out show was full of emotion, ritual and magic. Thank you so much to everyone for making the evening so incredibly memorable. So much goes into curating both the sonic and visual landscapes of each of these performances entirely ourselves, but the profundity by which they are met has touched us so deeply, and we feel more compelled than ever to continue this incredible journey of showcasing our vision of uncompromising artistry.
To share this world with our band, and to continue to fuel our live creations thanks to the support and blessings of our growing audiences gives so much scope for us to continue pushing the boundaries of our work, and reinforces the power of music, connection and feeling.
We feel equally honoured to share the stage with the incredible ‘Pillow’ who have continued to deliver one of the most profoundly moving sets, which has set the scene so beautifully for each evening.
Tomorrow, we return to Bristol to The Mount Without, before we continue home to Pembrokeshire on Tuesday, Stroud on Wednesday with the wonderful Daniel Inzani and finally the wondrous Dartington Hall with Dartington Arts on Thursday!

Low ticket warning! Tickets are running low for Brighton, London and Wales. The other tickets are all selling fast, so don’t hesitate to purchase yours.
Thank you to the wonderful Japanese Ban Ban Ton Ton for the insightful write upon our eponymous album:
“Recorded in Samana’s studio in rural Wales, housed in a cottage which they refurbished themselves via traditional techniques, the production and playing continues to display an intimacy and tightness that reflects the pair’s incredible bond. The songs like some healing ceremony conducted by soulmates. Lost in each other and shielded from the often negative distractions of the outside world by their love and the act of creation. This is the root of their music’s pure, primal power.”
Earlier this year, Samana – Rebecca Rose Harris and Franklin Mockett released their third full-length self-titled album (reviewed here) that explored mythic landscapes, forgotten memories, and the innate search for freedom and peace. Alongside a new live video of them performing Two Wrongs, they are announcing a special all-artist curated November Tour following their sold-out UK ‘In Tune With The Infinite Tour’ earlier this year.
So excited to be playing on the bill of the Wanderpsyc Festival at The Cornish Bank this November!
The time is upon us! NEXT FRIDAY, we kick off the ‘In Tune With The Infinite’ Tour in Margate at the ARK before hitting the road the following week.
We have been dumbfounded with the number of requests as to when we will be coming to the north, and we assure you all that we will be opening up our performances next year. As a venture, running these DIY performances, where we work closely with interesting unique spaces around the UK, and set up our own rig in the round, has been such a testament to the power of curating a dream: A dream which has been met with such profundity by all those who have joined us in the liminal realms of creation and sharing.
This will be the last opportunity to witness the ‘In Tune With The Infinite’ Tour before we close this chapter and look to pastures anew, so if you’ve not got tickets, be sure to grab them while you can. We will be releasing “Two Wrongs Live” this Friday, which marks the the last video of our string of live excerpts from the Summer Tour.
With gratitude

Support act 'Pillow' announced for dates
We are so excited to announce that the breathtaking ‘Pillow’ will be supporting us for the Brighton, London, Bristol, Wales and Totnes show during the ‘In Tune With The Infinite’ tour. A little about Pillow: "The music captures the richness of a classical tone, whilst retaining the freedom of improvisation and the storytelling of folk like melodies. Sighting influence from artists such as Nick Drake, Jonny Greenwood, and Max Richter to name a few, Pillow embarks on telling their own story of how sounds can emerge and give meaning to life’s experiences"
We are delighted to announce that we will be supporting John Francis Flynn at the Royal Welsh College in Cardiff on the 2nd November

November Tour
We’re so excited to be bringing the' ‘In Tune With The Infinite Tour’ back on the road this November!
"SAMANA's music is centred around an emotionally raw and magnetic delivery of a shamanic and cinematic proportion, offering a passage to transcend into worlds unseen. Evolving along multi-disciplinary lines, Samana possess a unique spirit born from a nomadic lifestyle, a participation in Celtic ceremonies and their deep affiliation with the natural world. The duo own a creative, analogue production house born from their Georgian small-holding in the deep corners of the Welsh Countryside, from which is born their anthropological excavations, conjuring layered narratives that address concepts of dreamtime, death, transcendence and collective consciousness."
