The Education of the Individual Soul (2009)
The Education of the Individual Soul was released on February 3, 2009. Rachel Kowal of NPR described the album as "tied to both nature and to everyday urban life, giving it the qualities of a sort of ethereal and mystical modern-day fairytale."
Leela (2011)
Aside from performing and recording his own material, East Forest also wrote music for Leela, Deepak Chopra’s video game for Xbox 360 Kinect and Wii. This was released on November 11, 2011, or more notably: 11/11/11.
Orbits (2014)
Orbits was released on November 11, 2014 and was very well received. Under the Gun had this to say: "A revelatory excursion in sound, Orbits serves as the auditory equivalent of a sonic journey through the endless beauties and intricacies Mother Nature has to offer."
Music to Die To + Music to Be Born To, Elements, and Ritual Mystical (2015-2016)
On February 26th 2016, East Forest released 2 EPs: "Music to Die To" and "Music to Be Born To." Tarynn Law of The 405 says the following: "To describe Trevor Oswalt, or East Forest, as innovative is putting it lightly. He aims to capture the essence of the outside world in his music by using different field recordings to do so. He's slept in the Sahara desert, been chased by bears, hung out in the Amazon for a bit and climbed some of the world's tallest mountains alongside his trusty recorder while he does so to capture the sounds of those different landscapes. The sound ends up being reminiscent of Sigur Ros, Olafur Arnalds, or Explosions in the Sky, and it's absolutely stunning."
On June 22nd, he released a full length album entitled "Elements." This music originated as the soundtrack for Tony's G's series with Udaya.com. It was filmed and performed live in Sofia Bulgaria in the summer of 2015.
2016 also saw the collaboration between East Forest and MC Yogi on MC Yogi's album "Ritual Mystical."
