Introducing Music for Seekers

Welcome! I am so glad you are here.

I am Mark MacLeod, founder of the Music for Seekers project. By day, I coach the founders and CEOs of some of the most ambitious technology companies in the world. By night, I make and play music. At all times, I am a seeker.

I founded Deep Down Music, one of the top 50 progressive house labels in the world. I have been a DJ since the late ‘90s. And more recently, I started producing music.

I have been studying kundalini yoga since 2009 and am in the final stages of becoming a yoga teacher. I have been following Buddhist practices for many years. I have found that my practice makes every aspect of my life better.

My hope with this project is to share my two passions of music and spirituality together and bring conscious music lovers together.

Spirituality & Music

"Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life."

Ludwig van Beethoven

Music is the sound of spirit. Music and spirituality are intricately related, with spirituality often being the inspiration for music, and music so often creating the vibe & atmosphere for a spiritual occasion.

Music is a universal language. It is the largest shared passion in the world. We all love music on some level.

Music hits us at an emotional level. We FEEL it. When we move to music, we stop thinking. We just ARE. It is moving meditation. We stop worrying about tomorrow or replaying yesterday. We become one with the music. We become one with each other because our souls connect.

Inspired: We consider many of the greatest creators, including musicians, to be inspired. What does this mean? Inspired = IN SPIRIT. Connecting with our core spirit is what enables us to create at this level.

What makes music ‘spiritual’?

What is spiritual to one person may not be to another. We all have different upbringings, traditions, etc. Broadly speaking, When created from the heart, with pure intention, music is a spiritual expression of our most universal core nature.

Why now?

The world is messed up. Global warming. Global conflict. COVID has caused many of us to question the path we are on. Why do I work where I work? What makes me happy? What are my priorities, values, etc?

Music is not a solution to these questions. But connecting to our core, true selves, through music, better enables us to answer these important questions because the answers are within us. We just need to cut through the veils and layers of our busy, modern world to hear the answers. Music has a role to play in helping us do this.

Dreams

The world needs something that is positive, pure, healing and universal. The goal of this project is to elevate consciousness by helping people connect to their true source and each other through music, learning and community.

The dream of this project is that we can build the largest global community of conscious electronic music lovers.

Are you a seeker? If so, I hope you will come along for the ride.
