East Forest (Trevor Oswalt) creates electro-acoustic dreamscapes influenced by classical, electronic and avant pop backgrounds. Trevor has carefully constructed an entire worldview that positions music, spirituality and natural experience in sharp relief to the all too common cluttered and stress filled lifestyle.

Forging a deliberate balance between music as a sonic technology and its use as an instrument of healing, he harnesses the restorative power of sound of as a way of bridging the disconnect that's often felt between the frayed and weakened worlds of the spiritual and the physical.

With his work as an innovator within the fields of yoga, meditation and the healing arts, he has maneuvered his abilities as a musician to facilitate the integration and exploration of mind, body and soul through the "technology" of his aural compositions, aiming to build extraordinary holistic experiences that engender personal change.
