Influences: When you listen to a piece of music next, try to feel the sound vibration moving through your body.
Everybody is musical and you have been surrounded by music since the moment of conception.
Music and rhythm are life itself.
These notes or pitches can be experienced through listening to a piece of music written in the appropriate key, played on a musical instrument or simply sung or hummed by you.
This can stabilise your energy system and serve as a dose of preventative medicine as each cell in your body has the capacity to respond to any sound and to resonate.
By the use of this resonance of sound and music the bio-electrical system of the body is strengthened, balanced and healed as your body resonates like speakers connected to a stereo unit.
"You cant make your music good.
You cant try to be good.
You can try to be present and you can try to remain open, so what is going to speak to you ~ can speak through you."
-Michael Hedges
When asked during a recording session when the changes were, Lightnin' Hopkins. the old Texas bluesman once replied, to the bassist he was working with, "Lightnin' change when Lightnin' wanna change..." , a spirit sure to keep the magic alive, as well as everyone paying attention...
....Words of Wisdom Mr Joe: 'people need to play MUSIC, not songs...thats where the heart is"...
....Miles Davis once said "In improvisation there are no mistakes."....
...words of Alfred Nieman, composer "Improvisation is a way of achieving identity"...
....."Every time somebody new joins the band, they change it.The personalities change it." again, the words of Miles Davis....Pulling riffs outta thin air is what we're gettin' at here...with whoever happens to make it over...the tunes are super simple, being written, or re-written on the spot...all searching to interconnect with The Muse..hit a bad note, nevermind...keep on.....record everything....nothing is too out there...thats how the magic happens.
Sounds Like:
