Live Improvisation with Thomas Workman on hulusi(Chinese reed instrument), Bonga Jean-Baptiste on haitian drum and Joakim Lartey on conga and sheet metal.

Hulusi and Drum Talk [Thomas- hulusi; Bonga - haitian drum Joakim - conga and metal]

This was a 1 take improvisation with two friends a few Spring seasons ago. It was enhanced later with Joakim and Chris doing an overdub or two each...

It was used as a soundtrack for a video of robins we watched hatch and fly off into the world. This Spring I watched a flock of robins feeding when the snow began to thaw... It occurred to me that it was the same birds we had watched make their maiden flights couple of years ago.

MUSIC FOR HEALING, EXPLORATION AND INNER PEACE

This offering is my debut solo recording and a culmination of 40 years of study and development, bringing together my love for flutes of the world, improvisation, and the intentional use of music for healing. After decades of study and performance and teaching, it is for the healing potential of music and sound that I make this contribution. The content herein is created to accompany healing work, yoga, inner exploration and listening.
