May!

As I write this, it’s one day past my birthday (oh, OK: I’m 55). It’s been an interesting week.

Last Wednesday, I performed with a Neo-Sufi ensemble led / facilitated by Ruhi Roo. She’s got some really interesting ideas, and is making them happen.

I saw the new Miles Ahead movie, with Don Cheadle. It’s really a good movie. I’m writing a review of it for doobeedoobeedoo.info. Keep and eye out for it.

 

My art work is on display this week at the ArtLovHer Artist Salon. It ends Sunday. 

 

And there’s the Sacred Forbidden Music! 

 

In 2004, I developed a method of music performance for yoga and martial arts classes. The idea was to both harmonize the music with the energies invoked in the class, and to invoke energies needed. For example, for classes of a system of martial arts based on the Five Chinese Elements while the sensei was teaching moves based in water, I would improvise using a musical form analogous to water, and synchronize the musical flow and dynamics with the class. The results were successful/

One of the inevitable results of this was obvious. I began to use the techniques he developed to conduct guided meditation. The difference here is that while guided meditations have traditionally used words, suggestions, imagery, etc. to guide the individual and group meditation, my method uses musical form.

The results have been interesting. People have reported effects such as recovering repressed memories, deep meditation states, trances and visions, and astral travel. 

The music for these Sessions is completely improvised; the music for each Session is specific to a particular time and place. I do not teach my method of improvisation.

This music is called the Sacred Forbidden Music.

 

The premeir concert performance will happen on Monday, May 9th, 8pm at the Theater for the New City (155 1st avenue, NYC). The exchange is $15.

There are other things happening, such as two new CD releases in the works, my new book A Mansion with Many Rooms, and other cool stuff.
