LESSON 1

You don't have to create the sound - you don't have to make anything happen. Just open your mouth, breathe it in, let it fill you up.....and then release it. It is one continuous motion.

You don't have to create it.
Let it fill you.
Release it.

Let it fill you.
Release it.

Focus on how it moves through you....

KINDRED

Life is a great journey through illusion.
Every moment of this journey is so
intense. Some people play with it, some people
try to learn how to win, some people just pass through it!
... I am sinking into every passing moment.
And I am grateful for this illusion which
presents me every second with a new fruit
to taste. Sweetness, sorrow, anger,
happiness, passion and depression. All is
Fullness and Emptiness. Oh, what a taste!
... I'm born naked and I will die naked.
All I can take from this great illusion called
Life is my Spirit.....
- Sainkho Namtchylak

I have recently learned of Sainkho Namtchylak and have been struck by an intense, overwhelming connection to this incredible creature. Could I ever come face to face? There is still time...

14/48 WORLD'S QUICKEST THEATER FESTIVAL

14/48 Festival
Theater Off Jackson
July 30-31, 2010
9am-midnight

shows 8pm & 10:30pm each night

7 plays each day...14 plays total






We, the mighty 14/48 band, collectively scored 14 plays in two days with sounds ranging from post-punk inflected rock outs, to German mountain music, spy moments, ring tones, shamanic trancings, stripper fare, a few covers, and original songs reflecting the working themes for the weekend "Truth or Dare" and "Pop Goes the Weasel"....among others - I think we could have played just about anything...


For a play-by-play hit up the 14/48 blog:
