Steemit Open Mic Week 89 - Improvised Suite for Singing Bowls, Cello and Bass

High towers above me and damp walls,
A quick footed lizard runs by, urging me to follow,
Surrender he orders as I shield my eyes,
The light is so bright down here,
The light of a thousand and one tries!
A thousand and one eyes,
Another second later and....

This is really beautiful.

However, please, next time you enter read the rules so you have a valid entry. Thanks for sharing and I hope you try again.

https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/steemit-open-mic-week-89-record-your-performance-and-win-steem-sponsored-by-pfunk-and-luzcypher

It's really important that you say the words Steemit Open Mic and your username at the start of your video. I know you are honest and would never dream of cheating this contest, but so many people try and the only way we have of verifying this is really you is to have you say those words at the start of your performance. Hope you understand.

Really is a beautiful performance.

It is surprising how everything being improvised undertakes a spiritual journey, I love it, I feel that they are drawing circles between notes and notes. There is a very playful, relaxing atmosphere. Congratulations. Good vibes.

This is absolutely gorgeous.

Cello has long been one of my favorite instruments, my dad (jazz pianist) played with a succession of outstanding upright bass players, and I love the singing bowls as well.

My only singing bowl is a small traditional one from Tibet, but it has amazing resonance, and is tuned to the heart frequency. But I love the large glass bowls as well.

A friend of mine in South Carolina, Scott Kennedy, used to put on concerts with his wife Anne at Sacred Lands, in Seminole, Florida, using a large collection of singing bowls, gongs, and a variety of concert bells and percussion instruments.

Their concerts were performed in a large domed greenhouse, which provided surprisingly exceptional acoustics, and an intimate feel to the concerts.

I bought a couple of excellent gongs from Scott that I still have and use. He used to make Native American flutes from a varity of materials, including bone, but I don't believe he does so any more.

The place has amazing energy and I strongly recommend a visit if you visit central west Florida; Sacred Lands is right on the Gulf, just south of Largo and Indian Rocks Beach. Beautiful place, with incredible energy, and wonderful people.
