Waking Vision

Waking Vision formed in the year 2000 at Berklee College of Music in Boston by guitarist/songwriter John Shannon and drummer Martin Valihora who shared a similar goal to play improvised music that had a wide sonic vista, big energy and was connected to inspiration from nature. Their debut album The Ancient Bloom was recorded  in Trnava, Slovakia and was released to critical acclaim and cult like status amongst the musician communities. They continued to tour throughout the years making two more recordings: Into the High Selva (2003) and Of the Waking Vision (2007). Now in 2023 they have come back together with upright bassist Peter Slavov (Joe Lovato, Paul Winter) to record their 4th album The Breathing Earth released summer of 2023 of which All About Jazz calls “A rich tapestry of sound” and Popular.Sk sais “…music that speaks directly to the soul because that’s where it comes from”.
