, The Nature of Sound, Tim Jones, Hawkwood College, 29 Sep 2012
A free unhindered voice expresses human energy, health and being. It intimately connects us with our musicality and creativity. We will explore two ideas - that of the sound-world of our natural environment - birdsong, wind, traffic, the natural sounds of human expression - and a feeling for sound's own nature, sound's own soul. Through deep listening and playful exploration, embodied singing becomes a dialogue and dance of our being with its sense of connectedness in the world. We will open to the Seven Shining Tones of Indian music, develop The Way of Tuning and learn to trust in our own felt experience. No experience is necessary and all are welcome. Participants should wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring a cushion if possible. Saturday evening concert 8.00pm The Grape and the Coconut: A concert of South Indian devotional songs. With Tim Jones & friends £7 entry (free to course participants)
