STIGMA XIIIX (Mt Shasta Sun Festival Solstice) Mineral Consciousness is a work where the elemental vibration of the earth is expressed through sound. The album brings together the spiritual presence of twenty-one crystals and transforms it into a ceremonial journey where the tribal, the ancestral, and the futuristic converge in a single act of consciousness. Each track is the sonic manifestation of a sacred stone, a portal where its light, its memory, and its natural frequency are revealed.
General concept
The project stems from an elemental vision: the earth breathes, the minerals awaken, and their energy flows like a continuous current. The work recognizes the spirit of each crystal and transforms it into a musical language that combines ritual drums, ambient textures, techno pulses, and ethereal spaces. The result is an experience where body, mind, and spirit align with the telluric force of the planet.
The album unfolds like a triptych:
The earth layer , anchored in the mineral root.
The inner layer , where emotion and consciousness meet.
The cosmic layer , where crystals project themselves into universal expansion.
These three layers form a single movement that guides the listener towards a state of deep attention.
Three-plane structure
I — The Earth's Layer
The journey begins with the solidity of the earth. Crystals like Bronzite, Hematite, and Pyrite affirm stability, presence, and clarity. Moldavite introduces the cosmic fire that impacted the earth thousands of years ago and opens a path of intense transformation. Each track establishes a direct dialogue with the spiritual geology of the planet. This first part supports the body, activates the roots, and prepares the ceremonial space.
II — The inner layer
The journey continues inward, where emotional energy expresses itself through the light of each stone. Kunzite unfolds softness and clarity; Emerald opens the heart with its green fire; Jade offers ancestral harmony; Natrolite elevates from crystalline purity. On this plane, sound becomes a mirror and a guide. Music reveals inner chambers where memory, intuition, and conscious presence are integrated.
III — The Cosmic Layer
The final section elevates the experience. Labradorite opens the door to hidden realms; Galaxite unites stardust with earthly dust; Quartz manifests the original light. Here, the artwork transcends form and expands into the geometry of the cosmos. The vibration moves like an ascending field, revealing vastness and profound clarity.

Artistic intention
The album is conceived as a complete ceremony. Energy flows from the root to cosmic expansion. The listener journeys along a path of inner recognition grounded in the profound wisdom of the earth. In this work, music becomes a bridge: a bridge that unites the essence of the planet with inner clarity and the openness of the spirit.
Presence within the Shinnobu universe
Mineral Consciousness stands as one of the project's most elemental works. It represents a symbolic return to the living matter of the planet and an affirmation of the connection between sound, minerals, and consciousness. This album amplifies Shinnobu's vision by presenting the earth itself as a spiritual teacher and the origin of all vibration.
