Live performance at the Old Town School of Folk music.  Byzantine Time Machine's version of Lotus Blossom by Billy Strayhorn.  Dang, this would have been in awesome stereo, but the sound guy ran out of inputs so I had to collapse it to mono.     
Here is the drum kit I use to play live:  https://byzantinetimemachine.wordpress.com/2014/01/19/byzantine-time-machines-drum-sounds-from-goat-skin-to-digital/

BTM - Lotus Blossom -Live At Strayhorn Fringe Fest

From our debut album, Glow In The Dark Music, available now at https://crashcitysaints.bandcamp.com/album/glow-in-the-dark-music.

Yesterday won't save us
It can't make us whole
Heal your soul
Lose your favorite jacket, 
and step into the cold of a new day
Be yourself again

Don't look behind in sadness
See what's yet to be
There's a better way
Force the hand of changes
Burn your cages down
Emerge from ashes
Be reborn again

We'll meet in far off cities
Break these rusted chains that hold us here
You've been feeling empty
The universe expands and is left hollow
Yearning for new birth, an act of creation
Something new
It's the dissension party calling you

Dissension! Dissension! Dissension!
Dissension party welcomes you

Dissension Party

"British ambient band Marconi Union has drummed up the world's most relaxing song: Weightless is 8 mins 10 sec. of aural bliss" - Time Magazine, Best Inventions of the Year. 

"An excellent compilation from the always interesting Just Music" - The Sunday Times

"The Ambient Zone is an album that feels like the world is peeling away, layer by layer, into multi-colored panoramas, just for you" - Echoes (CD of The Month)

The Ambient Zone is a beautiful journey into ambient and electronica inspired by universal themes of calmness, purity, relaxation and enrichment where Weightless is coupled with some exclusive first releases and other blissfully ambient tracks from Just Music artists and alumni.

Created instinctively and intuitively by Marconi Union, Weightless has been claimed to have therapeutic properties in the way the track almost appears to have a heartbeat running through it which slows down very gently throughout the piece, encouraging a deep sense of relaxation in the body, It's use of specific rhythms, beep bass tones, frequencies and intervals induce an almost trance like state in the listener.

"The Ambient Zone is an album that just screams (albeit quietly) of pure class" - Fluid Nation.
