"The Evolving Rhythms Tour" is an ever growing body of work I've begun which uses rhythm, dance and multi media technology to reflect the art of living in harmony with ourselves, each other, and our
environments, through becoming conscious of being connected with
a greater whole. I've traveled Aotearoa, Australia and spent 7 months sailing in
the Pacific islands, collecting samples of rhythm based group music, which I have woven together into a set of dance music and video.
It’s about Rhythm.
Not the “This is how it goes, and this is how your part goes” rhythm, but the all inclusive, everybody has their own soul rhythm and all the parts fit rhythm.
It’s about Rhythm.
Not the “Check out how fast I can go, faster than you, and with heaps of flashy fills” rhythm, but the slow and simple, deep trance, heartbeat of the universe rhythm.
It’s about Rhythm.
It’s not about the drum kit virtuoso jazz solo rhythm, or the paradiddle practice pad sessions, or the bass tone slap sessions, it’s the super real, ultra raw and grainy bare foot stomping into the earth rhythms, the tea cup and spoon rhythms. The soul laid bare, dance till you drop rhythms. It’s the grab any drum, and be drummed by spirit rhythms, even if you’ve never done it before, especially if you’ve never done it before! It’s the tear open your soul, bear all, trance with the tribes, morph with the group mind, meld with the spontaneous music and ride on the cutting edge of time rhythm.
It’s about Rhythm.
It’s not about African rhythms, or Marching band rhythms, or Pipe band rhythms, or Brazilian Batucada or Middle Eastern belly dance rhythms, or Indian tables and devotional rhythms, or drum kits or congas or djembes or bougarabou's or samba or salsa, it’s about universal language. World Rhythms. Universal Rhythm. The deeper source of all. The point of now.
It’s about Rhythm.
It’s about Evolving Rhythms.
The Evolving Rhythms Tour.
