Check out the latest... thanks everyone for coming out and enjoying this evening with us! The Flowdown 'Metamorphosis' album is out - Download, enjoy, and share :) <vibrate nicely> http://www.theflowdown.bandcamp.com Here are three live instrumental tracks that were extracted from a spontaneous-improv jam at a rehearsal space in Williamsburg Brooklyn, recorded with a handheld audio recorder. The style is quite different from the usual arrangement of vocal-based rock-jazz-hip-hop-funk tunes. This instrumental meditative jam combines funk with fat electronic trance. There are three parts, about five minutes each, sharing the familiar universal pattern of rise up, peak on, wind down. Any donations are dearly appreciated, as they will go directly towards the cost of mixing, mastering and printing The Flowdown upcoming debut album, to be released officially on February 26, 2011 at Spike Hill. Sometimes: wondering in awe at the privilege of making music, in a world where so many are suffering ... Remembering: when people's hearts are moved, anything can happen, and music can move people's hearts ... So: one can make music with regards to the greatest of hopes / watching oneself becoming the instrument that makes the sounds, entering into the indescribable place of natural gift giving. Happy Holidays to Everyone! Will keep you in the loop. :) The CD release party be on [12-11-10] at Spike Hill... a fully funkified evening of bliss... stay tuned for the lineup. We had a great show at Spike Hill this weekend - thanks to all who came out - ord to the bass player from the crowd, who spontaneously joined us on stage! Special guests Marc Plotkin, John Blake, and Steve Fox brought it as well. The band is currently recording a new disc! The sessions are happening in Queens, weeks at a time but it is evolving like a crystal, giving it due time. Expect end of Summer... we'll have a CD release show planned, so stay tuned for that... On a totally different note, a friend mentioned a bit of wisdom from the Dali Lama yesterday... anyone who makes you uncomfortable or angry is actually a teacher to you. See this person teaching you how to deal with an aspect of reality that you aren't comfortable with or can't accept; see how you can act or behave in relationship to it in a better way... | soul fuel.<meshing up jazz, rock, funk and hip-hop to covey peace through musical potency> ArchivesMay 2012 Categories |
