I enjoy playing and exlploring new and ancient ways of expression, whether it be with my movement, breath or most any instrument I can make vibrate and sing.  At this point in my life, the instruments I visit most regularly:  Didjeridu, balafon, wood frogs, casa casa (west african bell), Djembe, caxixi, tambourine stick, samba whistle, jaw harp, voice.  My approach is to first find the sweet spots and tonal areas that sound appropriate and then to explore rhythmic phrases on any thing I pick up.  Then, if it is a melodic instrument, I begin with two notes and expand from there.  I feel the process to be insect like or a frog kinship.  In fact, I found much inspiration from crickets and frogs.  They seem to express loud and free and mostly in groups.  At times, in time, and other times completely a-rhytmic.  Encouragement to those who play and push through the fear of self-judgement...Earth is patiently waiting for you to get over yourself. :)
