Supposedly, the apocalypse will be rung in with horns. But they won't be horns like this, unless the rapture is truly rapturous. The 2010s showcased Moon Hooch's evolution from studious Jazz disciples to rave-inducing dance barons. Using a “reverse DJ” set up, they filter their saxes, vocoders and another set of mad brass weapons that would make Cannonball Adderley smile, through Ableton, playing EDM with Jazz instruments. And that crazed euphoria has translated well in their live shows and songs. At their best, Moon Hooch create a hallucinatory, out of body experience. So, listen to our interview with them, read our blurb on their break through single “Number 9” and see why they're the best of the 10s. “I don't think I'm looking for anything other than my own surrender. ” — Wenzl Mcgowen

Wenzl Mcgowen plays a baritone saxophone with a twist... an orange traffic cone sticks out the top giving it an interesting looking and much more interesting sound. WBZ's Matt Shearer reports:

Musician and author Wenzl McGowen joins the podcast to talk about his incredible awakening, growing up an atheist and the collective consciousness of the world. From touring and drugs to spirituality and fasting, listen in to a deep conversation about life! Wenzl McGowen is a member and co-founder of the internationally touring band Moon Hooch and the inventor of the Traffic Cone Saxophone. In 2013, Wenzl had a spiritual awakening during a meditation retreat and has since written two books about mystical experiences, meditation, and the science of personal growth. Both books draw from ancient teachings, direct experience, and modern science. He aims to free spirituality from dogmas and provide a framework to integrate awakening experiences without religion and superstition. At the same time, his work is inspired by sincere devotion to a dimension of reality that has given rise to concepts such as God or Great Spirit. He doesn't subscribe to the idea that words can capture the essence of consciousness, yet he taps into that realm to become a better person and bring more joy, creativity, love, and insight into his life. Another avenue of his passion for personal growth is his meditation music and his board games.Wenzl website -- https://wenzlmcgowen.org/Watch the video version of the podcast here exclusively on the streaming platform AKASHA FLIX -- https://www.akashaflix.com/minds-like-mine-s-podcastSupport the show

My guest was born in Spain, in the Canary Islands. His father was from Austria and his mom from Chicago. The two met in art school in Vienna. Wenzly speaks English, German and Portuguese.As Wenzl explains , his earliest childhood memories are of him being wrapped/strapped to his mom's back while she  painted for hours on end. "She a very dedicated artist," shares McGowan. "Her work ethic, her love for art, and also her commitment to being her authentic self has totally made me who I am. I owe a lot to this wonderful woman."Spending time outdoors and exploring nature was a big part of Wenzl's childhood. He loved building tree houses and exploring the ancient art of building structures with stone among other things. One of the main gifts that Wenzl believes his mom gave him when he was a child was "she would never punish me for being my authentic self." Wenzl was very driven and his mom knew not to ever push him in a specific direction. "I think my mom wanted me to have the freedom to decide for myself what I think is good and how I want to spend my time. And she had this respect for me that I think not many people have for their kids." According to Wenzl he's "now moving more in the direction of meditation teacher, author and conscientious  explorer, philosopher that kind of thing excites me a lot. "Mom was a great singer and flautist but it came too easy to her so she stuck with her art because she didn't feel that she was an artist at all. We both like to challenge ourselves."Perhaps I don't have my stuff together myself. If I want to change the world, or hope for a better future, then I need to change myself," continues McGowen. Phenomenal mother, person and artist. Her art is really starting to get noticed. Brooke's philosophy on painting is similar to how she raised Wenzyl. "When she paints, she respects that the paint has their own will. She doesn't use brushes but pours paint on the canvas. And So yes, the paint really does do a lot of things that the artist doesn't expect, because she's not using it in a very controlled way but she is playing with that boundary of loosing control over the paint, but also respecting the paint's freedom to add to the painting in a spontaneous way. Latest projectsBoard game- it's available on Amazon and it's about conscience relating-that you can play with family and/or friends- and  it's an opportunity to have more honest conversations or more difficult conversations. A game where players fall into emotional spirals. The game is called "NON PHYSICAL" go to Wenzl's website https://wenzlmcgowen.org/ . His books "The End Of Fear" a novel about a homeless person having spiritual awakenings and not being sure if it's a mystical experience or if he's going crazy  and  "The Sequence of Light And Truth,"  which is a research book about what scientists think about mystical experiences.https://wenzlmcgowen.orghttps://moonhooch.com

Planetary Regeneration Podcast | Episode 24: Wenzl McGowen by Gregory Landua

Moon Hooch makes more noise than anyone I think I’ve ever heard. For those of you who don’t know, Moon Hooch is comprised of drummer James Muschler with Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen on various saxophones. There are also some synthesizers mixed in for good fun and to keep the beat, and the electricity going! Now only 8 years into a professional career that started with busking on New York city streets, these cats are on fire, having recorded 4 full length albums and a couple of EPs in that short time. I find their live presence extremely intricate but totally interesting. I’m not sure anyone truly understands how all that stuff works, but Mike and the boys do, so good on them. They sound great, and we’re looking forward to hearing more from them, and seeing them on the road. For more on Moon Hooch and some tour dates in North America visit moonhooch.com.

The Brooklyn-based instrumental trio plays a kind of dance music that is hard to pin down: elements of jazz, house and free-form rock & roll come the band's sets, and the twin-saxophone attack of Michael Milbur and Wenzl Mcgowen is supported by the four-on-the-floor drumming of James Muschler. On this episode of Collector's Edition, the band plays two brand-new songs and talks about Moon Hooch's genesis as a subway-busking act and where it hopes to go next. The songs performed are "Something Else!", "Low 5" and "Tubes." Recorded on May 20, 2015 at KDHX in St. Louis, Missouri. Engineered by Dan Kinney.

Moon Hooch is a Brooklyn based collaborative trio featuring Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen on tenor saxophone, and James Muschler on drums. They write their songs as electronic music, and then perform them using acoustic instruments. This approach produces music that is a fascinating combination of house, dance, drum and bass, jazz, world and classical […]
