Yesterday watchig dark miror
Naima was watching another show
on her phone. It felt silly.
We both decided to come down to the
beach and watch the last late light
around 9:30 at night.
We had a nice chat by the lake and then
went to the tippi. I layed down there
but she wanted to go sleep in her room.
We walked back up, and once she was there,
she wanted to come and sleep in the tippi.
So we came back down. There are plenty
of bed in the tippi so it's nice when
others are joining in. I wanted to write
a bit but it sounded like she fell asleep
pretty quickly.
Today she invited 2 other friends here.
It's nice to have more people at the home.
I like their energy and bringning them
to different place. We went for a
St-Jean Baptist sitting around a fire,
then went to a jam for a friend birthday
party. I played the Dumbek for a couple
hours.
I am back in the tippi tonight. The weather
hasn't been great so I slept in the house
for the last few days. The healing that
happens in here is really powerful. It feels
like I'll live longer if I sleep all the
time in a tippi or in a hammock!
I've practice my music setup earlier today.
Connecting the Zoom h6 -> Avalanche Run (delay reverb)
-> Ditto x2 (looper) -> Smpltrek (sampler / effect / mixer)
It's working well and all that can output to a
stereo channel so I don't need an extra mixer.
I mention that because I want to be able
to make music to make people dance. I want
to make people dance (and I want to dance)
as a healing practice. I'll post an article
I've written in the newspaper last Wednesday.
In short, I've always been using my body for
different modalities (martial art, thai massage,
yoga, sacred dance) and I want to develop
a system that brings it all togheter with
improv and playfulness.
The working title is Elemental Yoga Dance. I have
a draft on my main computer what is not synced to
the gopher but that will be the base of the system.
Next week I'm planing to join the contact improve
group in the village near here to explore further
what that is!
On another front, I've started to centralize my
samples that I wnat to share of gopher. Gopher
will then be my centralized digital repository,
with code, audio recording, samples, my digital
garden and my phlog.
Yesterday when Naima couldn't get to sleep I started
telling her about how I got to BC. It remindeed me
about my writing from my travel. I want to get
back into that, and into cosmic.voyage. More
writing is good for my brain!
One more last thing about writing, it seems
more interesting to write about the thing that
I am aspiring to, and what I am working with
than the things from the past. So for now
my goal is :
Create a healing modality that merges dancing,
playfulness, community, proximity and shadow
work as a yogic practice. Build this with a live
music helping the movement and the healing
to happens. The dance should also have theatrical
element, and musical elements, like masks and
drums and shakers...
