<div>Sunday I went to see the Flame and the Shadow, which was a Belly Dance show combined with the music of Tim Rayborn. The show was absolutely fantastic, and that's not just my opinion. I watched the expressions on the faces of the audience and there was a mixture of awe and fascination. After the show, I heard comments such as "wow", "incredible" and "that was just stunning". <br/> <br/>Tim's music on this CD is just phenomenal (I know, I sound like a gushing teenager, but it's true). The show blended the music, the lighting and the dancing together perfectly to create a story which you just have to see to believe. <br/> <br/>All of the dancers without exception delivered an incredible performance. I wish I had the time to drive up to San Francisco to see the show again! <br/> <br/>Pictures: http://www.renaissancefaire.net/flame.htm</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/flameandshadow">The Flame and the Shadow</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Hi there. This is something I wrote a while back in response to a post somewhere; I didn't post it, but saved it. Clearing out files now, so it's either share or toss. I'm a sharin'. <br/> <br/>The Flame and the Shadow is going to be an amazing event; I feel it happening in my bones (rehearsals must be going on in mind and body). The cast of players gathering for this event = ceremonial experience. It's an event that is unique and pulsingly creative, with textures of sound and visuals-- more than that-- it's about being embraced by sound, then mind set free to visually wander and take it all in: the musicians, the room, the dance-- the symbology within the sound and visuals. I'm betting partaking of this show will be a lift to high experience-- souls will be moving. ~Lisa</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/flameandshadow">The Flame and the Shadow</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>I'm so excited about going. I went to the Tribal Faire in San Luis Obispo, and saw this in the program. There are a lot of us around Long Beach that are looking forward to the show.

<div>OK, so it seems like a good idea to start a tribe for this (yet another tribe!), since this will be an ongoing project beyond the new CD release and these initial shows. It is my hope that the show will tour at some point, and that a DVD will be produced. <br/> <br/>I also would like to see other dancers and groups (and groups of groups) get together and perform their own settings of this work. Plans are in the initial stage to do this on the East Coast later next year, and there may be more beyond that. <br/> <br/> <br/>For now, here are the details about the shows - <br/> <br/>These dancers will be at both the initial shows, wowing the audiences: Tempest; Atash Maya; Desert Sin; Mira Betz, Hannah Romanowsky, and Holly Shaw; Ayse Cerami, Katie Kay, and Monica Fernandez; Urban Tribal; Blue Damsel, Shawna Rai (NatyaHara), and Frederique (Belly Groove) <br/> <br/> <br/>Admission is $17 for both shows <br/> <br/>Sunday, January 28, 7:30 PM, doors at 6:30 <br/> <br/>King King <br/>6555 Hollywood Blvd <br/>Hollywood, CA 90028 <br/>Ph: (323) 960-9234 • Fax: (323) 960-9011 <br/>www.kingkinghollywood.com <br/> <br/>Tickets on sale on the King King website. We also plan to have an after party at the venue, so stay and hang out with us after the show! <br/> <br/> <br/>Saturday, February 3, 8:00 PM, doors at 7:00 <br/> <br/>Brava Theater <br/>2781 24th Street <br/>San Francisco, CA, 94110 <br/>tel: (415) 641-7657 <br/>www.brava.org <br/> <br/>Tickets on sale at: <br/> <br/>http://virtuous.com/event/3579525217/ <br/> <br/>Additional information, and links to the dancers’ websites: <br/> <br/>www.timrayborn.com/flameandshadow.html <br/> <br/>Sound clips and photos at Myspace: <br/> <br/>www.myspace.com/the flame and the shadow</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/flameandshadow">The Flame and the Shadow</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>This project is vastly larger than anything I have done before, having taken over a year to record and finalize. <br/> <br/>I had a huge amount of help from my amazing engineer Jim Helman, who has recorded all of my solo CDs since 2000 (and who, incidentally, also records Suhaila’s CDs and writes music for her). <br/> <br/>For this project, I hauled out my usual vast array of traditional instruments, but also added a crucial new component in MIDI (acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface). This wonderful computer hardware/software interfaces with synthesizers and can replicate sounds to an astonishing level of accuracy. <br/> <br/>The orchestral music was created using a MIDI software program called Garritan Personal Orchestra, which, as the name implies, contains hundreds of samples and sounds of the modern symphony orchestra, allowing one to play out parts for violins, cellos, horns, oboes, etc., on a keyboard, and layer them to create full symphonic sounds. <br/> <br/>So, I was able to create complete symphonic sections and then alternate (and sometimes blend) them with “real” instruments to create the overall effect. <br/> <br/>A complete list of the traditional instruments I played on the recording, in addition to MIDI keyboards (deep breath): Turkish lauta; doumbek; frame drums; baglama saz; davul; Finnish kantele; Ukranian kobza; orchestral chimes; goat hooves; divan saz; metal darbukka; Turkish tambur; zils; Egyptian ney; Syrian buzuq and rababa; medieval psaltery; Persian santur, zarb, sehtar, tar, and daff; Indian tamboura and deff; orchestral cymbals. <br/> <br/>Whew! <br/> <br/>In addition, I brought in a crew of amazing guest musicians to play the things that I don’t (yes, there are still a few!): <br/> <br/>Ross Daly: www.rossdalymusic.com <br/> <br/>Ross is an amazing musician, an Irishman who now lives on Crete, and is recognized as perhaps the greatest player of the lyra of Crete (a bowed instrument) performing today. His playing is breathtaking, haunting, and moving. He records regularly, tours the world, and has long been a musical hero of mine, so I am beyond honored to have him featured on this CD. <br/> <br/> <br/>Kitka: www.kitka.org <br/> <br/>A magnificent and internationally-acclaimed women’s vocal group, specializing in Balkan and Eastern European repertoire. I was privileged to play on their next recording (due out in 2007), and they returned the favor by singing a choral section for one of the orchestral pieces. <br/> <br/> <br/>Shira Kammen: www.shirakammen.com <br/> <br/>Shira is a long-time friend, regarded as one of the best players of early bowed string instruments in the genre. She usually guests on my recordings and this time was no different. <br/> <br/> <br/>You can read about more of the guest artists at their sites: <br/> <br/>George Chittenden: www.edessamusic.com/bio/George.htm <br/>Diana Rowan: www.sirenharp.com <br/>Eliyahu Sills: www.eliyahusills.com <br/> <br/>Also, Bon Singer and Lily Storm (Balkan voices – both former members of Kitka, Bon the former director), Javad Butah (Indian Tabla – an amazing player! We performed together in Shuvani, and now work together in our new group, Alixir), Steve Oda (sarod – has studied with the master Ali Akbar Khan), and Jim Helman (orchestral percussion, in addition to his engineering) <br/> <br/>The diversity and variety on this recording is greater than on any of my previous CDs, and for me, that’s saying something! <br/> <br/>Combine that with the amazing talents of the many dancers involved, and we should have quite a show! <br/> <br/>The CD will be for sale at both shows as well, with artwork designed by Tempest.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/flameandshadow">The Flame and the Shadow</a> - 0 replies </div>
