holding space in the garden

The Gar Den Boi sound is inspired by YEARS OF yoga and meditation while building immersive worlds in a DANCE music landscape. A project steered by Tyler Manning, who fuses a love for all instruments & electronic music production to meld organic play with the healing power of low end frequencies. He uses DJ sets and live production as the vehicle and can often be found holding space in his “Instrument Garden” Studio workshops & installations.

The Gar Den Boi music project was officially launched in Detroit in May of 2023 with “The Sound of a Tree Growing: Root Tape” and has seen those roots spread wide since getting planted for the forthcoming “Fruit Tape” as well as an ambient bass meditation album in collaboration with The Sound Medicine Collective called Frequency Medicine.
 

He now resides in Detroit in search of a property for the instrument garden music discovery center.
