gig tomorrow night at fsu

this is really weird... a group of didgeridoo players and some
percussionists want me to open for them and jam with them...
open with the gongs they say... then go to the hang or flute,
whatever i feel... then close out on the gongs again... theyre
(we're) doing a 45 minute set, after a poet, and before two
bands... saudade and a local tallahassee band, colleen nixon
band... panera bread catered, we get the small green room, and
theres a five page rider that explains everything from the mics
to the drink policy... ( we are welcome to bring our own
refreshments, its a student union on campus... )
isnt this what a good manager takes care of?

Sounds like an interesting evening, and right up your alley,
Gonga Din!
Aren't you your own manager? Maybe if you paid yourself better,
you'd get more out of you! O0

thats kind of the problem... i dont identify with a genre...
it isnt like that. im used to operating solo. i never plan
anything and i dont follow a formula or pattern. everything i do
is totally improvised, on the spot. working with others is
weird sometimes because gongs dont tend to “follow” anyone elses
lead... but last night was off the chain. i was able to fill
bass notes on chords and even fill entire chords in proper
place... finding melody and harmony lines to my surprise and
the crowds amazement. i was completely out of my comfort zone
and was rewarded with so many new lessons and ideas... i
definitely have to figure out a good mic setup though...

Do you consider your music meditative, spiritual, or
transcendental?

yes, i consider what i do to be a meditation or prayer for
increasing compassion and our awareness of the need... people
call it all sorts of things from gong baths to sound healings to
vibrational alignment... i dont like to put my limitations on
others perceptions so i let folks make of it what they will...
i offer soundscapes for meditation and exploration... i offer
relaxation on a depth difficult to acheive in a conscious
state... last night i found that transcends genre...
