I decided to join a yoga class recently, and it has seriously returned my body back to a place of anatomical solitude and analogous soul-itude. Having trained yoga on and off for the past 15 years, I think returning to a steady practice is like coming home again.
Also today was my first official gig with Dub Monkey....Sitar, Digeredoo, Flute, Drums, Bass, Accordian, Keys, Trumpet and Clarinet is the orchestration... a dream sonic texture if you ask me. Soundcheck went great except for the fact that it conflicted with Earth Hour. This is supposed to be the time when people shut off lights and try to go powerless for 1hr, a feat considering the electrical ho hum that makes this world go round. Haha, sorry Mama Nature, if only there were such things as solar powered amps and innovative sustainable projects like this one (http://www.nicernews.com/2010/02/olympics-attraction-sustainable-dance-floor-at-club-energy/) we'd be set!
We worked the crowd, dancing filled the room. Lots of compliments ensued after the gig..."You guys should play Burning Man, and have a moving installation with the CN tower as the center piece of the stage" was one of my favourites. During the gig, I got to drop some effects on my sample machine as well as do a little flute beatbox. I will post some of this stuff as soon as I can.
