"GaMaLa" taken from the album "Layers Of Time".

The sixth entry in Flatischler's Megadrums series finds him working with percussionists Zakir Hussain, Airto Moreira, Valerie Naranjo, Glen Velez and Milton Cardona, as well as saxophonist and flutist Wolfgang Puschnig. The resulting album blurs boundaries between world music and new age, building percussion layers into cycles and spirals that become hypnotic, pulses beginning in deep, long tones that evolve into mid-range tones that become gradually more staccato. Layers of Time is a progressive work, in that the opening rhythms are gradually and subtly altered to allow each individual piece to blend with those preceding and following (the opening of the album is emphatic). Layers of Time is easily comparable to Mickey Hart's Planet Drum and At the Edge in that it reveals the inherent ability of percussion instruments to fully support extended musical pieces without falling prey to monotony and simple repetition.

DESCRIPTION

TaKeTiNa is one of the most efficient learning methods available today. 
It is a process for activating human and musical potential 
through rhythm. TaKeTiNa draws on research findings in the fields of chaos theory, neurology, systemic processes, and is based on more than four decades of working with thousands of widely varying groups of participants.

TaKeTiNa conveys the principles of rhythm the way people in cultures
around the world naturally comprehend and learn to embody them — 
by direct physical experience of fundamental rhythmic movement. The
capacity for this is innate; all infants come into the world equipped with
the sensory and motor skills needed to acquire the rhythmic foundations
for any kind of music. In TaKeTiNathe body is the instrument, the experience of rhythm is therefore very intense and immediate. 

Learning the universal “roots of rhythm” enables participants to later move in any direction of musical expression they choose. TaKeTiNa also helps to develop essential skills such as presence, creativity, and the capacity to handle chaotic and complex situations with ease.

TaKeTina offers open workshops; drumming percussion training; teacher training to become a TaKeTina fully qualified practitioner; lectures and seminars for management and corporate clients.

TaKeTina is a global organisation with teachers associations in Europe, America and Australia. 

The TaKeTiNa team of Cornelia Jecklin Flatischer, Tania Bosak (Australia), James Word (USA) are world renowned for providing inspiring innovative and transformative courses, lectures, workshops on the TaKeTina method for activating human and musical potential.

Tania Bosak and James Word are the senior-TaKeTiNa-Rhythm-Teacher in Master training and will assist trainings and workshops together with Reinhard Flatischler in Europe, Australia and America.
