Description:

This unique recording uses primitive instruments to support the listener in making shamanic journeys. The bullroarer, mouth harp, and rattle provide sonic driving for the journey as an alternative to drumming. The bullroarer is a flat elliptical shaped piece of wood attached to a cord that produces a whirring trance inducing drone when whirled through the air. The mouth harp is a small lyre-shaped instrument that consists of a flexible tongue attached to a frame. The tongue is placed in the mouth and plucked with the finger to produce trance droning tones and overtones. The rattle produces high frequencies that complement the low frequency droning, thereby boosting the total sonic effect. Each journey ends with a callback. 1. 15 Minute Bullroarer and Rattle. 2. 15 Minute Mouth Harp.
