SoundBath: A Horizontal Concert December 19
Please join us for a very special evening of transcendental sound featuring Peter Blum on Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, bells, cymbals, flutes, & drums; Master vocalist, violinist and soundshifter Naaz Hosseini; Thomas Workman on didjeridu, berimbau, bone, bamboo and other traditional flutes (ney, kaval, fujara), conch shells, West African harps (Donso Ngoni); and Evry Mann, drums, percussion.
Peter and Naaz have been working together, presenting musical meditation events since 2000. Since they first had the opportunity to make music with Thomas Workman five or six years ago, they have performed as a trio a number of times.
For this special solstice event, they are delighted to be joined by Evry Mann. Percussionist, composer and writer, Ev has played with Don Cherry, Ana Ruiz, Henry West, Tiny Desk Unit, Gasha Band, Bantu, Chakra City and OmU, and has been performing with David Hykes and the Harmonic Choir since 1993.
Music has been used as transformational ritual in practically every culture to attune to solstices, equinoxes, and phases of the moon. In this “horizontal concert” of improvised sound and music, it is the intention of the musicians and listeners to create a sacred space. No two sound baths are alike as the music is improvised (some say “channeled”) in response to the mood, time of day, season, weather, etc. Participants are invited to lie on yoga mats or blankets in the center of the room, surrounded on all sides by sound-generating stations set up along the perimeters. There is total immersion in a constantly changing vibration field, allowing participants to receive visions, healing, and guidance from within and without. It is a ”sacred” soundbath because for us this is akin to universal prayer with our instruments.
