I continue to find myself re-living the intimate talk made by Tito LaRosa, gifted Peruvian sound-healer in Malibu, CA in June of this year (2009). Tito reminded his audience that what he was about to do was by no means a performance, but instead a shared and personal experience.
The indigenous instruments, which he had categorized for himself by the four cardinal directions and the alchemical elements (air, fire, earth and water) were to speak to each individual in accordance to what he or she ‘needed.’
I am experimenting some indigenous sounds – in this case, the Peruvian pan flute, and a Native American style flute made by J.P. Gomez of Sedona, AZ.
This is how it comes across in a yet unnamed melody:
For Native American Flute aficionados, the flute by J.P. is a G minor pentatonic, made in the grandfather tradition from blue denim ponderosa pine with an ambrosia maple block, which I used on the Accept Me Home track of the “Seeking Balance” album.
