Sun Flares
Honed, forged, rising from fire,
kicked by the heel of the moon,
the sun bows on mountains, it’s stage.
With flare she dances,
enraptures, romances,
pirouettes, prances,
with brilliance that never will age.
Sun Flares, Sandra S Corona

Sneaky Snake
Tom Hall
Sun Araw
After kung fu yesterday, I was able to go see Ian’s show SONOPTIK.
It was blissful and it was great to see Ian and George and meet new friends.
Here are the photos and event info.
More event photos here to give a sense of the room and the visuals.

SUN ARAW http://sunaraw.com/
SNEAKY SNAKE http://sneakysnake.net/Event starts promptly at 8pm, Saturday November 19th
Suggested donation $10 (no-one will be turned away but space is limited)
**Strictly No-Alcohol**presented by SONOPTIK in conjunction with the Mahasukha Center.
Tom Hall with live visuals by Janeva Zentz Hall, Sneaky Snakes and Sun Araw come together to illustrate sonically the spectacular journey to High Peace. Come and sit on a cushion, lay on the floor, do yoga, interpretive dance or simply be present as washes of sound and ambient currents paint a beautiful space for mind, chakra and heart expansion.
…TOM HALL is an Audio/Visual artist based in Los Angeles (originating from Australia). Hall’s practice involves considered explorations into place, space and time. Drawing inspiration from countless ‘peripheral’ spaces, Hall focuses on using multiple approaches to engage and re-contextualize the ‘everyday’ for the public. Hall utilizes custom designed software and a variety of unorthodox analog techniques to combine imagery and sound.
…JANEVA ZENTZ is a multi-media artist and joins Hall’s performance by mixing and molding visuals live. Derived from various CA locations, the myriad of visual compositions contribute, match, mold, juxtapose, and play with Hall’s sonic fields.
…SUN ARAW, the solo p-roject of Cameron Stallones, blossomed in attempted geosynchronous orbit with the Eternal Now: oblique six-dimensional transmissions from changeless environs. Structural and spiritual inspiration for Sun Araw comes primarily from Cameron’s first artistic love: film and filmmakers, especially those invested in the long-take (Tarkovsky, Altman, Bela Tarr, Greenaway). Devoted to long-form mantric music, the ethos is similar: straight lampin’ in deep focus, angle after angle on the melodic object, gaining strength from the subsequent breakdown of the illusion of fixed perspective.
…SNEAKY SNAKE is an experimental sound project in synthesized tonal waves. Its explicit purpose is the creation of altered states and well-being within the viewer/listener. George Jensen and Ian James began Sneaky Snake by focusing strictly on long form ambience as a means to induce trance-like, semi-consciousness within the audience. Lost within the environment and their subjectivity, participants often experience worlds within themselves. Over time Sneaky Snake has invested itself in complicating the paradigm, introducing aspects of field recordings, sampling, and synthesized drum beats into its healing music.
The MAHASUKHA CENTER (in Sanskrit “great bliss”) is ACI-LA’s home. The Center provides a wide range of courses including guided meditations, Buddha dharma, teachings on spiritual partners, workshops by nationally known yoga teachers, and informal talks on a variety of subjects. http://www.aci-la.org/

We spent hours plotting to take over the world whilst enjoying tea, coffee, and pastries.
Just a normal day.

Bamboo
Today during my morning meditations I was reading a passage out of my 365 Tao book by Deng Ming-Dao
Chopsticks made from bamboo-
Too poor to afford silverware.
Tender bamboo shoots for food-
Too poor to afford meat.Why were people of old so integrated with their surroundings?
Because the objects that they used, the food that they ate, and
the activities that they engaged in were straight from their surroundings.
They used sticks made from bamboo as eating implements.
They used vines to make baskets. They used gourds as vessels.
For food, they grew plants, domesticated animals, and caught fish and game.
Their social structure was was built around the cycles of the sun, moon, and stars…
The closer we can be to the earth and to nature, the more integrated with life we shall be.
A few hours later I receive an email from Flickr notifying me that my Bamboo photo was chosen for the Huntington Library’s Photo of the Day.
I love my life :)
