This week I am reflecting on my Sunday Sessions series. I am am very excited each week to try something new and express my ideas through different instrumental mediums. About ten years ago I picked up this little instrument at wooden voices in Madison. I have carried it with me in my collection for many years and used it in many demonstrations that I give when doing children's creative music classes. As I was getting ready to prepare for my recording I thought that I should do a little research first. I always thought hat his was an African instrument but found out its proper name, history and technique. I also found some beautiful videos that showed is sonic range and beauty. This takes me to the point of this blog. Every instrument has a song and I feel inspired when I can bring that song out. It is my intention to experiment and express myself with sound whether that is with an instrument that I have been studying for 30 years or a new instrument being picked up for he first time. Inspiration comes in so many forms. You never know when the song is going to need to be released. http://youtu.be/UzVl9EnDLBU
